Livy From St Louis Aussie Rescue

Posted February 3rd, 2010 by David Thurman

Meet Livy, she needs a home, and fast or her time will be up, please consider her if you are in the St Louis area.

Livy is a 5 year old spayed female up to date on her shots and heartworm negative. She is on the small side at about 30 pounds and has fit right in at her foster home and loves people and attention. Livy is fully house trained, does fine in the fenced in yard as well as on a leash. She listens very well and knows basic commands such as sit, shake, lay down, and speak. She has a lot of energy and loves playing ball and will bring it back over and over and even knows how to throw the ball with her mouth. Livy is very gentle and would do well in a family with older children. She has done well with the cats in her foster home but sometimes gets moody with the dog. She would do best in a home without other dogs or with a non-dominant dog.
