Livy, Australian shepherd and black Labrador retriever mix
Livy is a female Australian shepherd and black Labrador retriever mix being kept at Peppermint Pig Animal Rescue and Peppermint Pig Thrift & Gift.
Livy is a social animal — she loves kids, dogs or cats. She's been vaccinated and spayed, and has mastered her house-training etiquette.
Here's what Livy's friends at Peppermint Pig Animal Rescue and Peppermint Pig Thrift & Gift think of her:
She's 2 years old and 35 pounds. Livy is extremely sweet and affectionate, has the sweetest little awkward personality and the cutest little naturally stumpy tail that is always wiggling! Livy was surrendered to a kill shelter by her family to be euthanized because they just didn't want her anymore. It's obvious that Livy was not treated well in her previous home, so she can be shy at first and sometimes needs to take a moment to warm up to new people.
