About Anya

Meet Anya - Your New Adventure Buddy and Loyal Shadow (Pronounced 'Awn-yuh') Anya is a 5�%BD-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who's equal parts athlete, cuddle bug, and loyal best friend. At about 40-45 lbs, she's the perfect mid-size companion for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle - and a dog who wants to be right there with you. She's happiest by your side, whether you're curled up at home or heading out on a hike. Anya has lived with her littermate sister since puppyhood (and they're a wonderful duo if you're looking for a pair!), but she's also perfectly content being an only dog in a calm, loving home. She loves to express her affection with kisses and will happily lick her human to make sure you know just how much she loves you. She's house-trained, crate-trained (though she'd much rather be on the couch next to you), and professionally trained on both leash and e-collar. Her recall is excellent - she's been trusted off leash often - though she'll need time to build that same confidence with her new family. She LOVES going out for walks, hikes, or runs and truly thrives when included in daily activities. Anya is a bit of a talker - she'll happily 'chat' when she's excited or wants to tell you how thrilled she is to go on an adventure. Once she's had her exercise, she settles beautifully indoors and just wants to relax near her favorite people. She's fantastic with kids, great with other dogs, and friendly with strangers. With cats, she can learn to coexist as long as introductions are slow and supervised - she is an Aussie, after all, and that prey drive is part of the package. Anya's ideal home is with an outdoorsy couple or active family who wants a loving companion in everything they do. She doesn't really play fetch (she prefers exploring and wrestling with her sister), but she's smart and eager to learn whatever you'd like to teach her. Her current owner loves her deeply but travels too much to give her the stability she deserves. Anya may be shy at first, but once she's comfortable, she'll show you just how special she truly is - devoted, joyful, gentle, and absolutely ready to be someone's best dog ever.
