My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foxy is a charming 1-year, 10-month-old Aussie Shepherd and Heeler mix with a personality as unique as her stunning eyes—one of which is half green and half blue! This lovely girl is great with dogs and kids, and while she isn't cat tested, she would likely be fine with a dog savvy cat.. Foxy is fully housetrained and crate trained, making her the perfect addition to a loving home with a decent-sized yard.

When Foxy first arrived at her foster home, she was very scared and shy.

While we don't know what her past consisted of before being picked up from the shelter, it is likely she was abused and neglected.

With love and patience, began to trust her foster family, her delightful personality started to shine through. Foxy loves playing with other dogs and running around the backyard. One of her most endearing traits is how she howls when she’s happy and does a little dance—it's sure to bring a smile to your face! Another quirky habit that will surely amuse you is her tendency to take all the shoes from the front door and place them on the couch—she doesn't chew them, she just enjoys being surrounded by her shoe kingdom!

Foxy has a playful side and loves all kinds of toys. She’s content to curl up on the couch with some company, soaking in the love and warmth of her family. While she does have moments when she gets scared, she finds comfort in her crate, which serves as her safe haven.

Unfortunately, Foxy is terrified of being on a leash and is currently working on overcoming this fear. She will need a patient family willing to give her time and love as she continues to build confidence. Due to her challenges with leash training, Foxy’s ideal home would have a decent-sized backyard so she can get her exercise leash free, and would greatly benefit from another dog to help her feel secure and open up even more.

Foxy's journey from a scared, shy pup to a loving, sweet dog is a testament to her resilience and the power of love and patience. She has so much love to give and will thrive in a home where her family understands her needs and provides her with the patience and care she deserves. Foxy’s happy howls, playful antics, and loving nature are sure to fill your home with joy and laughter, if only you'll give her the time to trust.

If you have a home with a yard and are looking for a furry friend to add endless joy, love, and a bit of delightful mischief to your life, come meet Foxy—she’s waiting to steal your heart and become your new best friend!
