Name Beth Age 5 months on 8 6 16 Gender Female Breed Australian Shepherd mix Weight 21 lbs Dog friendly Yes Cat friendly Unknown Kid friendly Older considerate children only House trained In progress Crate trained In progress Energy level Puppy History From a shelter in Missouri Adoption Fee 400 From the Foster Beth is a very loving sweet girl She will need to go to a family that is patient and ready to put some time into training classes. Beth attached to my college age daughter and myself immediately. She is so loving and cuddly Very playful energetic and silly ). She gets along great with other dogs. We have been to the dog park a few times and plays with dogs of all sizes. Loves to run with them and wrestle with. Loves to play with toys and be silly with them. She is however fearful of strangers. At the dog park she will usually run away from people when they try and pet her. When we encounter people in a hallway walking by or if people are walking towards us in a small place she will bark and growl at them and sometimes hide at my side. She is going to need someone that can help her get over her fear of other people. She is seems to have high anxiety over being left alone. When we leave her she cries barks and howls. Not sure how long it lasts but she is very loud so you need to live somewhere where noise will not be an issue until she can get over this anxiety of being left alone. When we get home she is usually very hysterical to see us Because of her fear of people I would say no young children. I don t think an apartment would be a good environment for her because of how noisy she can get and I think she definitely enjoys being in bigger spaces with her energy level. Potty training is going well she is peeing and pooping outside as long as you keep her on a schedule. I usually keep a couple of potty pads out and she has gone on the pads a couple of times. I think she is going to be a great dog for someone but again you need to be dedicated to do training and working with her first. All dogs are in individual foster homes throughout the Twin Cities.
