My story

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

Zephyr is looking for a best friend, a partner in crime, human/s to call home. She is a true companion, and gets so much joy from being included in whatever her humans are doing.

She loves deeply, and as a working dog, she sees it as her "job" to look out for all the people and pets in her pack. She loves to sleep in and snuggle, supervise house/yard work, chase after the ball, play with her dog friends, go on long walks and bike rides, and prance around the house with her favorite toys. As with any Aussie, she needs daily exercise and enrichment. This can be walks/runs/hikes, bike rides, puppy play dates, training sessions, car rides, or even a job on a farm.

Zeph has been through extensive training so she is smart and knows her commands, but she does have some of the typical Aussie reactivity. If she feels worried by other dogs (i.e. on leash), she may give off warning barks. She just sees herself as our protector and needs a kind and patient owner who appreciates all that she is.
