Top of the morning to ya! My name is Croia (KREE-a), an Irish name that means “heart.” My foster named me for the heart-shaped marking on my head and the fact that I am a TOTAL love bug!

I am a 1 year old 23lb aussie mix girl who is equal parts cuddly and energetic. When I’m not busy cuddling or keeping tabs on my favorite people, I enjoy playing with my canine foster sister, munching on a chew, or I might peruse the backyard in search of bugs! Strangers make me nervous, but that doesn’t stop me from getting excited to go on a walk! Running is even better, and I’m a natural at keeping pace!

Though I am shy and cautious at first, once I know you are as sweet and kind as me it won’t be long before I am asking for belly rubs and scratches on my VERY soft, fluffy head! I can be quite the goofball too! Just let me come to you and I will warm up in no time. 

Smarty pants? That’s me! I’m house trained, and after only a week I’ve mastered my crate training! Learning the dog door was easy as pie, and “sit” is my favorite trick besides showing off how high I can jump! Yes, these lanky legs are full of springs! If you offer me a treat and something to jump over I might just show you how it’s done!

As for cats, I met one the other day and gave her a sniff - she swatted at me! I can take a hint, so if you have a dog-savvy kitty in your home I probably won’t pay them much mind. However, any squirrel intruders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the paw! When it comes to children, because of my shy nature I probably prefer kids over 6.
