Meet Patsy!
This sweet girl is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, born mid-June 2026, and currently weighing in at a petite 4 lbs.
Patsy is small but mighty — sweet, smart, and well-behaved. She does well with children but will thrive best in a calmer, quieter home where she can feel settled and secure.
The details:
Breed: Australian Shepherd/Lab mix
Approximate DOB: Mid-June 2026
Current weight: ~4 lbs
Temperament: Sweet, smart, well-behaved
Good with kids: Yes
Best fit: A calmer, quieter household
A few more things about Patsy: She's crate trained and currently sleeps in a dog playpen. She's very smart and well-behaved, and she loves other small dogs — though she's still a bit timid around larger dogs, so a thoughtful introduction process will help her feel comfortable.
If you're looking for a smart, sweet little girl who'll settle in beautifully to a peaceful home, Patsy could be exactly what you're looking for!
