Ashlee

My story

This lovable, lively, 8-month-old girl looks and acts like an Australian Kelpie, but we just got her DNA results back and she's Husky, Labrador, Pomeranian, and Australian Shepherd. Ashlee was “bought” on the street after being separated from her mom at 6 wks., then spent most of her time alone in a garage or on a patio basically raising herself. Since coming to our home a little over 5 months ago she’s had a couple senior furry “mentors” and with the guidance of a professional trainer and daily reinforcements we’ve been able to undo bad behavior and learn the good stuff below: -sit, down, stay, off, high five, leave it, do business -will “sit-stay” while you’re opening a door -how to get treats out a puzzle -catches treats mid-air -takes a treat gently from your hand. -gives “smoochies” -walks great on a leash -doesn’t need to be crated, but doesn’t mind either -doesn't chew furniture -only jumps on the couch for a short stay -housebroken, uses bells on door handle to alert you when she needs to go out -eats 3 x’s a day instead of graze feeding -”get it, bring it, drop it”, well...still working on this Incredibly intelligent and fast-learner, we think she would be an awesome agility, arson, or K-9 cop candidate as she loves to work and has an incredible sense of smell! Due to her young age, she will do best in a home with someone home most of the day, kids over 10 and an would get along with an active K-9 playmate. A fenced yard is a must for her twice a day case of the Zoomies. Applicants should be familiar with training pups or willing to work with a professional trainer, this is essential.
