Igby - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Hi, I'm Igby! I'm a one year old pup with a heart that is WAY too big for the rough start I've had. My brother and I were found wandering as strays, and sadly, no one ever came looking for us. I may never know why we were left behind, but I do know this: I haven't let it change the way I love. I'm sweet, social, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that everyone I meet is a potential new best friend! Give me attention and I'll happily soak it up. I love being around people, making new friends, and sharing my happy-go-lucky spirit wherever I go! I'm not just a people pup...I'm a dog-loving social butterfly, too! I do wonderfully with other dogs and would love having canine friends to play with. I'm also great with kids, making me the kind of girl who can fit right into a fun, loving family. I've spent enough time wondering where I belong. Now Im ready to know what it feels like to be HOME!
