Hi, I'm Astryd and I’m the best cuddler ever!

I’m a Mini Aussie mix around 2-3 years old and I weigh about 25 lbs.  I'm a great size dog for cuddling and my foster mom says I have the softest fur!! 

I came into the rescue with 7 adorable puppies who have now been weaned and it's my turn to find a home! I am very dedicated to “my person" and love to follow you around and literally be touching you as much as possible! I would probably be great off leash because I have a good recall and I barely leave your side! 

I’m an expert in the house with no destructive tendencies and no accidents, but I might try to steal the occasional morsel of food if no one is looking. I’m mid-energy and calm in the house. Outside I like to stay by your side and maybe chase a ball. I do like to protect my house and property by alerting you using my barking skills. I may also bark a bit if I can’t get to you, although I am quiet in my crate at night.

I am cautious and shy with new people, but warm up with treats. I’m good with other dogs and once I get acquainted with them I love to wrestle and play! I’m living with a cat right now and mostly just avoid him to avoid those claws! I'm very scared of young children so I should not be in homes with kids younger than 12. No matter how well meaning they are, something in my past clearly gave me a bad opinion of little kids. 

I do need some confidence building as lots of things still scare me right now, but I love treats and pickup on training fast. My foster mom has taken me out and about and I do well overall as long as we take it slow.
