Asia - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Catlettsburg, Kentucky

Asia is a fantastically sweet 9 year old Australian Shepherd. She spent 6 years in a kennel as a breeding female and has spent a good bit of time with her foster mom trying to overcome her first chapter. The great part about Asia is her calm manner and disposition and the way she loves her people once she learns to trust them. The baggage she needed work with was basic things like leash walking, house breaking and the largest thing she needed to overcome was having no self confidence. She will always struggle with this to some degree but we are happy to say she has really come a long way. She loves other dogs and likes to play. She also loves to run and survey the back yard so we are requiring a fence for Asia's new home. She takes a little bit to warm up to someone, but once she does, she is very kind and sweet. She will come when called, loves treats and really any attention you want to offer. She will walk on a leash now and will go in the car but doesn't really enjoy it. Her foster mom has reserved vehicle travel for things like a trip to the vet or groomers and Asia is just fine with that. She is very much a home body and would love a medium to low key home that wants to lavish her with affection. She doesn't have to have another dog companion, but would probably enjoy one or would enjoy having play dates in her home with another pup. Asia is extremely devoted to her people and is really enjoying being a house pet. Asia is available for placement though our Paws for Seniors program.
