Beth NY

Meet Beth! Fostered in Maine!<br/><br/>Beth is a black tri Aussie (mix?), estimated at about 5 years of age. She has adorable curly hair, a cute nub tail, and weighs in at about 40 lbs.<br/><br/>She came to ASF by way of a shelter in Long Island, NY. Surrendered as a stray, she did not enjoy shelter life and had severe anxiety. After three months, and no adopters, her time was up.<br/><br/>Beth has been with her foster mom for about 6 weeks. During this time, it has been made clear that Beth will require a quiet home due to anxiety brought on by a loud and active/unpredictable home life. Outside the home, she thrives with walks, hikes, and even running!<br/><br/>Beth is super sweet, loves her people, and will play fetch all day if you're inclined.<br/><br/>The GOOD:<br/><br/><br/> Spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and preventatives<br/> Heartworm Negative<br/> Potty trained<br/> Crate trained<br/> Walks well on leash<br/> Loves car rides, hiking, ZOOMIES, anything outside<br/> Tennis balls are LIFE<br/> Good for bath time<br/> LOVES to be brushed!<br/> Great with other (slow intro to new) she meets OUTSIDE the home<br/> Loves to meet new people (up close- at a distance can be scary)<br/> Couch snuggles are the best and she will paw at you to get those chest scratches in!<br/> Knows SIT and DOWN and STAY<br/><br/><br/>The Beth CHALLENGE:<br/><br/><br/> Dogs/animals on TV trigger barking and growling.<br/> Too much activity inside the home is stressful and pacing and chewing random things are calming. Beth prefers a quiet home that is predictable so she is on her best behavior.<br/> Stranger danger (people she sees from the car) results in grumbles until she feels SAFE, then all is well. Beth recovers quickly once she knows there is no threat.<br/><br/><br/>IDEAL HOME: Beth needs a quiet, adult only household with minimal activity (outdoor activities are awesome!). She wants to be the only dog, and is going to be most comfortable without cats as well. She needs someone to meet her where she is in life, understanding that it's not been the greatest for her thus far. When the home is relatively calm, Beth is at her best.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting this special girl, and giving her a chance at a new furever life, please fill out an adoption application:<br/><br/>https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>There are some additional fees: $20 microchip transfer fee to register and transfer him to his new furever family
