Ivy - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Normal, Illinois

Meet Ivy, a 1-year-old Aussie mix weighing 30 pounds. This sweet girl may be a little timid when she first meets you, but once she feels comfortable, she becomes a happy, playful little Velcro dog who wants to be wherever her people are.

Ivy loves hanging out with her humans, following them around the house, and playing with other dogs. She'd love a canine companion in her forever home and is wonderfully respectful during play. She's house trained, does great in her crate, and can be trusted loose in the house. Ivy does have some mild separation anxiety, so she'll need a family willing to help her build confidence when left alone.

Ivy does need to be fed separately from other animals because she guards her food. She's not yet been exposed to children, although her foster mom thinks her gentle personality would likely make her a great family companion.

If you're looking for a sweet, playful shadow with four paws and a wagging tail, Ivy might be your girl! Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
