If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn’t always work.<br/><br/>Location: Pittsfield, MA <br/><br/>Meet Ember — a 3 year old, bright-eyed, big-hearted cattle dog with a sharp mind, a love for fetch, and a soft spot for couch cuddles. Whether she’s playing with toys, learning a new cue, or curling up beside her favorite people, Ember brings enthusiasm, loyalty, and a whole lot of heart to everything she does. Her command vocabulary is impressive (leave it, wait, go, come, house/ inside for going back into the house, Back up, breakfast, up for catching a ball in the air, potty for going outside, play, walk, find it! for looking for a lost toy, ball, toy, down, and she picks up new cues with ease. <br/><br/>She responds well to structure and consistency and adapts quickly to new routines.<br/><br/>On leash, Ember is generally easy to handle, but excitement can lead to pulling—particularly when playtime is near or her nose finds something irresistible. She would do very well with continued leash work and enrichment that channels her energy and intelligence in positive ways. She is looking for a new owner who is interested in helping her further her training! <br/><br/>At home, Ember has a wonderfully affectionate side. She enjoys curling up on the couch with her people once she’s had enough activity for the day. She’s deeply bonded to her family and is gentle with her kiddos. Ember has previously lived alongside a small senior dog and coexisted peacefully. She has also shown curiosity—but not aggression—toward small animals when closely supervised. She and a resident husky do not see eye-to-eye, so slower introductions are always recommended! Ember can be cautious with unfamiliar people in her space and may attempt to herd visitors. She typically needs a little time to feel comfortable with someone new, but once that trust is built, her loyalty is unwavering. <br/><br/>Crating has been stressful for Ember with her current owner. She showed anxiety and attempted to escape, so she is currently not crate-trained, but has been respectful in the home. She may do best in a home that does not rely on crating. <br/><br/>Ember at a glance: <br/><br/>Intelligent, highly trainable cattle dog Loves fetch, learning new cues, and interactive games Affectionate and cuddly after exercise Good with children and familiar dogs <br/><br/>Needs slow, managed introductions to new people Strong herding instincts typical of her breed Best suited for an experienced, confident home Ember is a devoted, capable dog who will thrive with someone who values training, structure, and connection. In the right environment, she will be a loyal companion and a true partner in daily life.
