LOIS - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Broomfield, Colorado

Lois is a sweet and curious little girl. She wants to be involved in everything you're doing and does not like to be left out. She will cry in her crate and create her own howly song (just imagine it's Ariel singing “I want to be where my people are!!”) Her foster mom is working on it and honestly the song has gotten shorter (but not quieter yet). She walks circles around you on a walk (literal circles) so she will need a little practice learning to just walk by your side. She's a small girl and doesn't pull though, except when she doesn't like the direction you're going and will tug, leash in her mouth, to switch it up. Or she'll stop right in front of you and demand upies (she has little legs okay?!). Potty training is a work in progress, but at time of profile submission it's not super great. She is taken outside frequently but she gets so distracted outside (she's curious about everything remember) that as soon as we go inside is when she will go. She LOVES food. She acts like she has never been fed before and never will be again so she is in a big rush for you to just put the bowl down already. We're working on some manners and her love of food definitely helps keep her motivated. She's gotten ‘sit' and her fosters are continuing to build from there. Training and walks are a great way for her to burn some of her puppy energy. She gets along great with resident dogs but they are pretty big and intimidating. She wants so badly to play with them though! Does well with kids, though as she gets more comfortable and outgoing her Aussie may come out more. When she's ready for a nap she will curl up right next to you and snuggle in. She would do well with an active family with patience and love to give!
