Livvy Australian Shepherd & Poodle Mix Palatine, IL

Livvy is an Aussie Doodle (Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix) originally from an Amish breeder. Though she’s only 11 months old, she’s seen a lot of change and now needs a quiet place to decompress and start building some confidence.

She’s sweet, she’s smart, and she’s cute as pie, but because she’s been passed around so much, Livvy is scared in new situations and can be reactive. She’s not aggressive by nature, but is sometimes barky or nippy. Livvy will need space and time to figure out that she is finally safe and loved. A quiet home without small children or lots of commotion would be best for Livvy. She is housebroken and will alert you when she needs to go out.

Livvy loves to run and play with the resident dog and will need a home that can handle her considerable energy. Toys are a hit with her too, and bacon is a favorite treat. She does resource guard her food, so will need to be fed separately. With a proper, slow introduction, Livvy could do well with a playful, confident dog sibling.

At only 25 pounds, Livvy is a great manageable size. Do you have a peaceful home where Livvy can finally grow into the fun, loving dog she is meant to be? Fill out an application and come meet her soon!�

Please check our events page at http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org to find where this dog may be shown this weekend. If you are interested in adopting this dog, you must send an application or email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org prior to a Saturday Adoption Event so we know you plan on attending. If we do not receive any communication from you, the dog may be adopted out at our event prior to 12 pm if the perfect home comes along. :-)

The breed or breed mix listed for each dog is simply a guess. The profile software program requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. However, visual breed identification is unreliable. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog’s individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess. Dogs are individuals.

Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near Chicagoland... we are sorry but we cannot accept any out of state applications. We look forward to speaking with you!
