Sweets is a delightful 3-year-old, 75lb Kelpie/Shepherd mix who came to us from Southern, IL, and is eagerly awaiting her second chance at happiness! She's a true people-pleaser and a certified lovebug, always ready with a goofy grin and a desire to be part of your world. Whether it's embarking on an exciting adventure or enjoying some quality relaxation time on the couch, Sweets is happiest when she's by your side. She's already potty-trained and walks beautifully on leash, making her a fantastic companion for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy walks, hikes, or just spending time soaking in the sights and sounds of the world. When it's time to play, Sweets is all about her toys and chew bones, often entertaining herself and hoping for just one more toss of her favorite toy.
Ideal Home
Sweets would thrive in an active home where she can stretch her legs and enjoy the outdoors. She needs a feline-free environment due to her high prey drive. She also needs a home with an adopter experienced in managing resource guarding behaviors around toys, food, and people. If another dog is in the home, Sweets does best with calm, submissive male dogs who understand and respect her personal space and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
There are no specific ongoing health concerns mentioned in her description.
Training & Support
Sweets is working on crate training and becoming more comfortable with being alone, as she can experience anxiety in new environments. She also exhibits resource guarding behaviors, which her adopter will need to manage with experience and understanding.
