Lainey - Shepherd and Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Thornton, Colorado

Lainey is a sweet and smart girl at a little over 4 months old and about 20 lbs. She was found in Texas without a mom but we believe she is a shepherd and cattle dog mix. Lainey will most likely be around 45-50 lbs full grown.

Lainey loves people and dogs, loves to go on walks and hops around the house all the time. She also plays with all types of toys and is super smart. She remembered the way to the fosters home from the park in just 24 hours.

Lainey knows how to use the stairs, sits on command, still navigating peeing outside but she sits for for her foster to put on her collar. She walks surprisingly amazingly on leash. Lainey is very food motivated which makes it great for training!

Lainey is vaccinated and microchipped. She will be spayed thru the rescue once she is 6 months old, even if adopted.
