Catalina - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Catalina is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs around 46 lbs and may be one of the biggest cuddlebugs you'll ever meet. She wants to be as close to her people as physically possible, whether that means snuggling on the floor, curling up on the couch, or squeezing herself into a tiny little ball on the bed just to get a little closer.

She absolutely loves people and is the kind of dog who thinks everyone deserves a face full of kisses. She can get a little too enthusiastic about saying hello, so she's working on keeping all four paws on the ground instead of jumping up to greet every new friend.

Catalina is house-trained and crate-trained, and she does great with her canine foster sibling. On walks, she's still learning how to stay calm when she spots other dogs, but she's smart, sweet, and clearly very eager to connect with the world around her.

She's an incredibly loving girl who would do best with adopters ready to keep building on her training while enjoying all the affection she has to give.
