ini Aussie, weighing 27 pounds, with a heart as soft as her fur. She’s a gentle soul who is learning the joy of being part of a loving home and is making wonderful progress every day. When she first arrived, she kept her distance, but now she’ll quietly appear at the yard door, ready to come inside. She is still shy, yet her trust is growing and every step forward is a reason to celebrate. Freya is house-trained, great with other dogs and cats, and does well left loose in the home. She is happiest in the company of other dogs, taking cues from them on when to relax, when to explore, and when to settle in for a nap, so her ideal home will have at least one calm, confident dog to help her continue to blossom. She loves to run in the yard, take peaceful walks, splash in water, and ride in the car, hopping in all on her own, ready for adventure. On leash, she walks politely by your side. She is also learning that the crate can be a safe, cozy space, and she’s spending more time out and about as her confidence grows.
While she may always prefer a little personal space, Freya is a loyal herding dog at heart who will always stay nearby, keeping a quiet, watchful eye on her people. With patience, love, and understanding, her new family will see her tail wag more and her personality shine brighter every day. If you have a calm home, a dog buddy or two, and the patience to let Freya bloom at her own pace, she will reward you with quiet companionship, gentle devotion, and the joy of watching a shy dog discover the good life. Freya is ready to be someone’s loyal shadow. Could that be you?
