Australian Shepherd Mix Available for Adoption

Looking for a home by mid-July

I'm Holly. I need a new home or rescue by mid/end of July, or I will have to be surrendered.  I am 2 years old, 45 pounds and thought to be an Australian shepherd mix. I am spayed and up to date on shots. Like so many other dogs, my guardians have experienced some major life changes and have to move.  An apartment life will not be the best situation for me. I need room to play  and someone who will have time to give me lots of love and attention.  I am playful with other dogs, but I have never been around cats. Since I exhibit some herding dog traits, living with cats and young children might not be a good idea. A family with older children would be fine (I live with some now.)  I am friendly with new people, though hesitant at first.
 
Because of my breed mix, I am intelligent and energetic.  I will need consistent training and exercise, though I will enjoy relaxing with you, too. I would make a good agility candidate, or exercise companion.  I know basic commands and have potential to excel in further behavior training. I am a known escape artist with a leash/harness, so precautions must be taken.  A secure, fenced-in yard would be the ideal scenario, no electric fencing for me.  I do not like to be crated. I am loose in the house during the day without any problems. I am a sweet, loving and fun-spirited girl.  Won't you help me?
