Beauty - Australian Shepherd and Husky Dog for Adoption in Merriam, Kansas

Hi, I'm Beauty!

If you're looking for a best friend who's equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, I think we should meet!
I'm still a young pup, so I have lots of energy and absolutely LOVE to play. Squeaky toys are the best, bones keep me busy, and if there's room to run, you'll probably find me zooming around with the biggest smile on my face. After I've burned off some energy, I'm perfectly happy finding a sunny spot to stretch out and bask in the sunshine.

Speaking of favorites... I'm basically a little mermaid! If there's water nearby, count me in. I love baths, playing with the hose, splashing in a pool, and even running around in the rain. Water is just plain fun!
Once playtime is over, it's time for my other favorite hobby: snuggling. I firmly believe I'm a lap dog, even if I don't quite fit. I'd love nothing more than to curl up next to you for movie night. I probably won't fall asleep because I don't want to miss out on spending time with you, but I'll be perfectly content just being by your side.

I can be a little excited when I first meet new people because I'm still learning how to contain all this puppy enthusiasm. Give me a little time, though, and you'll quickly see my sweet, loving personality shine through. Most people also can't stop talking about my beautiful blue eyes!

I'm potty trained and even know how to ring a bell to let you know when I need to go outside. I already know sit, down, and stay, and I'm working hard on polishing my manners. I'm a smart girl who loves learning, especially when treats and praise are involved!

One of my favorite things is simply being with my person. Whether you're working from home, making dinner, or relaxing on the couch, I'll happily follow you from room to room just to keep you company.
I'm looking for a family who will help me continue learning, give me plenty of love, and enjoy all the adventures and cuddles we'll have together. If that sounds like you, I can't wait to meet you. I have a feeling we're going to be best friends.
