Meet Akesha, a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who proves that good things come in compact packages. Weighing just 42 pounds, she's the perfect size—small enough to fit comfortably into your life but big enough to provide plenty of love and companionship. Akesha was surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her, but she hasn't let that dim her sweet personality. She's calm, gentle, and affectionate, with a talent for politely placing her paws in your lap when she thinks you might need a little extra dog in your day. (She's usually right.)This smart girl already comes with an impressive résumé. She knows sit, stay, shake, and come, takes treats gently, and is highly treat-motivated—which means continuing her education should be easy. Previous owners reported that she is housebroken, has had obedience training, and gets along well with adults, children, and other dogs.Akesha has shown friendly interest in multiple dogs through the fence, suggesting she may enjoy having canine friends. A meet and greet is recommended for any potential canine siblings to help ensure a good match.If you're looking for a well-mannered, affectionate companion who already knows the basics and is ready to be your loyal sidekick, Akesha may be the perfect fit. She's got the skills, the charm, and just the right amount of paws-in-your-lap persistence to win your heart.
