Meet Scottie! This sweet and playful 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix is brimming with love and eager to find her forever family. While she might be a little reserved when first meeting someone, Scottie blossoms into a wonderfully affectionate companion once she feels secure. Prepare for her adorable habit of "smiling" when she's happy – it's a goofy, infectious grin that will surely brighten your day!
Ideal Home
Scottie would thrive in a home with a loving and patient family committed to helping her build confidence. She's generally good with dogs of all sizes and would likely enjoy the company of another friendly canine, though it's not a requirement. Given her initial shyness, a home with older or dog-savvy children would be ideal. She can get overwhelmed in busy environments, so a quieter setting would be best for her. Scottie doesn't have food aggression with people or other dogs, but she does have a fondness for sampling other dogs' meals, so feeding her separately is recommended.
Ongoing Health
Scottie is a healthy 1-year-old and currently has no known health concerns.
Training & Support
Scottie is making great strides in building her confidence, especially in new situations. Continuing with positive reinforcement and gentle introductions to new experiences will help her flourish.
