Remi is a brown and white miniature Australian shepherd, about six months old, and she is an absolute treasure. She's quiet, already housebroken, and genuinely sweet with people. She carries a little shyness with her, which is entirely earned given what she's been through, but it fades warmly once she feels safe. Underneath it is a friendly, gentle spirit just waiting to unfold.

Mini Aussies are known for being bright, loyal, and deeply bonded to their families, and Remi is shaping up to be all of those things. We do want to be upfront with potential adopters: the word "mini" can be a little misleading. Remi is already showing clear working dog tendencies, with the intelligence, energy, and instincts that come with the breed. She is not a lapdog, and she will not be content as one. She needs mental stimulation, physical activity, and a family who will engage with her, not just cuddle her.

Remi will do best in a patient household. We also require that her new home include another physically able dog who can keep up with her and give her an outlet for play. Experience with Australian shepherds or similarly driven herding breeds is strongly preferred, as Remi will thrive most with someone who understands how her mind works.
