Ladybug's Story

Meet Ladybug! She’s looking for a fabulous new family familiar with cattle dogs and shepherds; who has the experience necessary to socialize and train her properly so that she can be the best version of herself! Ladybug is sensitive so she will benefit from gentle training methods since she’s prone to shutting down under too much pressure. Under the right conditions, she learns quickly, tunes in to her human, and enjoys having a job. She enjoys exploring and investigating. She also LOVES water and would likely excel in dock diving, especially with her long shepherd legs. She will need a home with a secure fence and no small animals or poultry. She would do well with one other playful dog over 35lbs or as the only dog. She would even be fine in an apartment with an active owner. So long as there’s small critters or very young children for her to herd around she’s very adaptable. She’s not an ideal family dog.. She aspires to attach to an individual and have a strong bond with her person. Ladybug wants nothing more than to be your sidekick and get into all kinds of summer shenanigans together!
