Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Troy, Illinois

Ellie Jane is the perfect age at about 3 years old. She's potty trained, so trustworthy in the house, does great in her crate, and is good on a leash. Ellie Jane is a beautiful Australian shepherd with high energy when she plays but she calms down easily. She loves to get snuggled and brushed and loves playing with toys. There's one plush toy that she snuggles with all the time.

Ellie Jane has some vision impairment, but she can see hand signals and it doesn't keep her from playing and having great adventures. She totally wants to please and already knows sit, down, come, and kennel.

She really wants to play with other dogs, but she prefers being queen bee. She would thrive in a home where she's the center of attention where her new people are active. She'd prefer a physical fenced yard.

This sweet and cuddly girl is being fostered in the St. Louis area. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form
