Australian Kelpie mix

Ocoee FL

Description

2.5-3yrs old. Small/medium size weighing about 30-35lbs. Timid but very sweet girl. When she was rescued (from a shelter), she was extremely scared of everything. Since then, she has blossomed into a very loving dog. She still does get scared in new surroundings and takes a little while to warm up to new people, but once she knows she can trust you, she will be your best friend. She does get very excited for attention and loves belly rubs. She has not given kisses yet but she is not afraid to stick her nose in your face to let you know when she wants your attention. She is crate trained and is partially house trained. She does have accidents when she gets scared. She rides very well in cars. She does well on a harness and leash. She is good for baths and will need to be brushed about once a week. She does shed a little. Although she is good with dogs and cats, she is protective of her food around cats, especially (resource-guarding...probably due to her previous home life). Due to this, she should not go to a home with cats. (I'd probably suggest no small dogs either). Otherwise, she does well with dogs and cats after slow introductions. She will do best in a quieter home environment. Given love, patience, and time - this girl can become a truly amazing dog. Fee of $175 is required. Must be approved. Serious inquirers, only!
