Sally

Meet Sally!

Sally is a sweet, affectionate Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix with a clever mind and an enthusiastic approach to life.

Sally came to CVRR after her herding instincts led her to herd and nip at a toddler in her previous home. For this reason, she will require a home without young children, where her family understands both of her breeds and can provide calm, consistent guidance.

Sally came to us both house trained, and crate trained! Since being in foster care she has learned "sit" and "leave it", (mainly in her encounters with the cat), but she will need continued training to master basic commands and beyond. Her high energy means she can be easily distracted, so she will do best with a confident, patient person who sets clear boundaries and follows through. The good news is, this bouncy floof ball is eager to learn and is very treat motivated.

Much of Sally's energy comes from her young age. At under two, she still has plenty of puppy tendencies, and while in foster care, she's discovered how much she enjoys the company of other dogs-especially those willing to play! She would do well with younger dogs who can match her energy and give as good as they get. She's still learning canine social skills and can get overstimulated, so she needs someone who can recognize when play is getting too intense and help her slow down or take a break.

Chewing on hollow bones and toys helps keep her occupied and settled. She'll need toys made for moderate to heavy chewers-unless you enjoy spending your days and nights picking up white stuffing! She has her favorites and loves a good game of tug, including with her Great Dane/Hound foster buddy. Sally doesn't see size; she sees a challenge. If there's a tug toy involved, her only thought is, "Challenge accepted!"

Her foster home includes tolerant cats, but Sally likes to get right in their faces and give them nose pokes. Any feline housemates would need careful introductions and supervision while she learns their boundaries.

With affection, structure, and someone willing to keep teaching her, Sally has so much love-and plenty of personality-to share.

Sally is looking for:

A home without young children.

Someone with herding-breed experience or an appreciation for working-dog personalities.

A confident, patient owner who can provide gentle guidance and consistent boundaries.

A family willing to continue her training and provide mental stimulation and appropriate outlets for her instincts.

Dog friends who enjoy an enthusiastic playmate, along with an owner who knows when it's time for a play break.

If you appreciate a smart, affectionate dog with a little herding-dog attitude and understand that being cute doesn't mean she gets to make all the rules, Sally might just be your girl!

Sally's adoption fee is $200.
