Pawly is a 5 to 6 month old border collie or australian shepherd mix. She was a stray no one claimed.  Pawly has been in foster care for the past month with varying sizes dogs from a toy breed to a great pyrenees as well as guinea pigs. Her foster mom describes her as friendly, affectionate, curious and energetic.  Socializing will be key to helping this pup become a well rounded girl. Pawly loves to play with other dogs, soft toys, snuggling and get a good belly rub.  We do not know how she would do with cats. She has met children and was fine but not been fostered with them. She is potty trained and does fine in a crate but needs to learn manners as she will jump on people when she is excited but she is still a pup after all and can still do the destructive chewing. She definitely needs help with leash walking.  Pawly is happy to play in the fenced yard and can entertain herself but able to  keep up on long walks and hikes. She would do best with a home that under stands herding breeds. If you are interested in this dog please fill out an online application on our website:
