Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Patsy! This sweet girl is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, born mid-June 2026, and currently weighing in at a petite 4 lbs. Patsy is small but mighty — sweet, smart, and well-behaved. She does well with children but will thrive best in a calmer, quieter home where she can feel settled and secure. The details: Breed: Australian Shepherd/Lab mix Approximate DOB: Mid-June 2026 Current weight: ~4 lbs Temperament: Sweet, smart, well-behaved Good with kids: Yes Best fit: A calmer, quieter household A few more things about Patsy: She's crate trained and currently sleeps in a dog playpen. She's very smart and well-behaved, and she loves other small dogs — though she's still a bit timid around larger dogs, so a thoughtful introduction process will help her feel comfortable. If you're looking for a smart, sweet little girl who'll settle in beautifully to a peaceful home, Patsy could be exactly what you're looking for!
