Sky, sweet and playful - Mixed Breed and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Available for meet and greets being fostered in Danvers MA

Hi! I’m Sky!

I’m a petite 35-pound Aussie mix, about 1 year old, with a sweet, gentle personality. I’m currently being fostered in Danvers, Massachusetts, and I’m ready to find my forever family!

I’m 100% house-trained, amazingly clean, and not destructive. I can comfortably have free run of the house when needed, but I’m also happy relaxing in my crate. Because I don’t require tons of exercise and have such nice house manners, I could even be a wonderful candidate for apartment living.

And did I mention I’m a wonderful car rider? I’m a great little companion to have along for the ride!

I do well with other dogs and children. My experience with cats is currently unknown.

I do have one cute little quirk I’m working on. When I’m off leash and already playing with another dog, sometimes I get SO excited about playing that I bark at my playmate. I don’t do this just from seeing or passing dogs while out on walks—it happens when I’m having fun and get a little overly excited during play.

Continued positive socialization would be wonderful for me so I can keep learning calmer, more polite play manners. If I have a dog sibling or regular playmate, my best match would be a well-socialized, balanced dog who can stay calm and either ignore my excited barking or not become overly stimulated by it. A dog like that could be a wonderful role model and help me learn that barking isn’t necessary to keep the fun going.

I could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only dog.

If you’re looking for a petite, gentle, beautifully house-trained little lady who is easy to live with, loves her people, travels like a champ, and still has a playful side, I just might be your girl

I was rescued in Texas and Im looking for a foster-to-adopt family in the northern states. That means you get 2 to 3 weeks to try real life together the home routine, the walks, the treats, the bones, and all the everyday things that help you know if we are truly a fit.

Theres no pressure in the process. If for some reason Im not the right match, my rescue will quickly find me another home so everyone stays supported and safe. Its a thoughtful way to make sure my forever family is truly the right one.

The best way to apply for me is through the website: www.rociosrescues.org

You can also email rociosrescues@yahoo.comwith questions. Petfinder inquiries sometimes go to spam, so applying through the website is the best way to make sure your application is seen.

I have a feeling my person is out there... and if youve made it this far, I think we might need to meet.

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.
