Date of Birth: September 11, 2024
âš–ï¸ Weight: 50 pounds

Intake Date: November 10, 2024
Vixen is a happy, playful girl bursting with energy and personality. She loves to stay active, explore the world around her, and bond with people. This smart girl is currently in training through the Paws to Prison Program at Corcoran Prison, where she’s learning from dedicated inmate handlers. She’s working on basic commands like sit, stay, and leash walking, helping her become a confident, well-mannered companion. This program also builds trust, discipline, and emotional connection—giving Vixen the foundation she needs to succeed in a forever home.
Breed Information
Australian Kelpies are highly intelligent, loyal, and hardworking dogs originally bred for herding. They’re quick learners, thrive on mental stimulation, and love to stay busy. Vixen will do best in a home where she has a job to do—whether it’s daily walks, puzzle toys, agility, or learning new tricks. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be your active and devoted partner.
Owner Responsibilities
Welcoming Vixen into your life means:
Providing daily exercise and mental enrichment
Continuing positive training and consistent routines
Offering plenty of love, attention, and patience
Making regular vet visits and keeping up with her health needs
Keeping her safe, indoors, and part of the family
Things to Consider
Before adopting Vixen, ask yourself:
Do you have time and energy to match her active lifestyle?
Are you ready for a smart, high-drive breed that needs daily engagement?
Does your home (or landlord) allow dogs?
Are you committed to lifelong care and training?
A Commitment for Life
Vixen is not to be leashed or chained outside—she needs to live indoors, surrounded by care, structure, and companionship. She’s not just a pet—she’s a lifelong friend. If you’re looking for a bright, energetic, and loyal companion, Vixen is ready to be by your side every step of the way. â¤ï¸
