ShelsNDawgs - A Different Kind of Dog Rescue

Kylie

(HAS BEEN IN FOSTER FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. NEEDS A HOME ENVIRONMENT! WOULD MAKE A GREAT AGILITY DOG.)

Hi, my name is Kylie! I am a super sweet, although fairly energetic, female Australian Kelpie. I am just under 1 year old, and I am spayed, UTD on vaccines, heart worm negative, and micro chipped. I get along pretty well with the other dogs, but I am of herd breeding and not all other dogs appreciate my play style. I am a very active girl, and I need a home with a fenced in yard! I love to cuddle on the sofa and get lots of belly rubs too! I am currently co-fostered by BFFE and my other foster mom, Nancy. I am young and an active bundle of joy, so I go to doggie daycare every other week to help burn some energy and give my foster mom a bit of a break. The benefit of this approach is that I learn appropriate in house doggie manners, and get an outlet for my fun loving rip roaring side as well.

I was adopted, but I proved to be too much for my adopters dog to handle (she was older), and I need some finishing touches on housebreaking. I do pretty well most of the time, but I haven't perfected it yet, although I am crate trained and do beautifully when using this method of training. I would do best in a home with NO small children as my exuberance for life often proves a bit to much for them to handle. When I get excited I get a bit bouncy, and I may accidentally knock a little one over. Once I adjust to my new family and get some training under my belt that may change though. I do love children - they just find me a bit intimidating at times.

In addition I need to find a home with no cats. Again, I am not mean to them and have never hurt one, but I do find them extremely fun to chase and herd, and they don't appreciate me much. My first foster mom had cats as well, and she said that they rarely came out from under the bed when I was around.

I try very hard to be good, and I am absolutely adorable, but I also am very smart, and when I'm bored I tend to make my own entertainment. I am not perfect, but I am still young and have a lot to learn. I tend to act like the big puppy that I am. I only weigh about 35 pounds so I'm not a big girl.
