Meet Ally! Ally is a beautiful 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a sweet and gentle soul. She was surrendered by her previous owner, so we’ve been lucky to learn a bit more about her. Ally is great with other dogs, does well with kids, and is crate trained—making her a wonderful companion for a calm and caring home. While we’re unsure how she does with cats or if she’s fully house trained, we do know she’s not used to being on a leash and can become easily frightened, especially around loud noises. Ally will thrive in a patient, quiet environment where she can build confidence at her own pace and feel safe and loved every step of the way. Ally is HEART WORM NEGATIVE, UP TO DATE on vaccinations, and weighs 37 pounds. Ally’s Adoption fee is $115.50 plus tax.
