She is a 1.5 year old (30lb) purebred cattle dog named Indigo. She is a total goofball and cuddly sweetheart. She loves to play and run and give kisses. She is happy to sit on the couch and cuddle or go on a 8 mile hike. I adopted her with my ex last year and unfortunately we have split up since then, leaving me with sole responsibility of her. When we got her, my partner had requested a highly active breed to take cross-country running with them, and I was looking for a dog to take on hikes with me. Together, her activity needs were being met, but now I am unable to provide the level of care and activity that she and this breed needs to stay happy and anxiety-free. I have kept her for 6 months on my own since then, trying to rework my schedule and make as much time for her as possible, but have sadly come to the conclusion that I cannot give her the type of life that she deserves and it is impacting her mental health. I really really love her but I want to do what is best for her, and I feel as though at this time... it is not me. I cannot afford doggy day-care or a daily dog walker, so she is stuck inside much of the day while I work (with access to a potty pad on the patio). I also have a cat that she has unfortunately been terrorizing (she wants to play all of the time, and my cat does not want to play. She is not aggressive at all) She came to us from a rescue with some behavioral issues (skittish, fearful snapping, fear of men) and I have done a ton of work socializing her to get better with this, in which she has made significant progress. That being said, she is still initially fearful of men, but warms up completely with time and exposure (she loves my friends, dad, and brother). She needs a home with someone that can provide her a yard and hopefully a playmate in the form of a dog (she gets along with all dogs). She knows the following tricks: sit kiss hug laydown rollover paw (both) place here 'go to bed' - puts herself to bed heel walk trained safety (sit between my legs for protection stance) leave-it up (jump) down (jump) spin potty wait settle (when play is rough) how to use the dog-door 'outside' I would be happy to send her with all of her accessories: dog crate 2 dog beds outdoor raised 'place' fake dog grass pad for patio tons of toys tons of treats a few months worth of 'ollie' the remainder of her dry food and container 2 harnesses and a collar 2 leashes. her blanket Please let me know if there is anything you can do to assist me in this very sad transition. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can offer ASAP placement.
