She is a bit under weight so I’ve been feeding her extra to get her up to par. Her back left paw appears to have been injured in the past like maybe a break that was never set but the vet says she’s fine since it doesn’t impede any of her movements for play or running.

She made fast friends with my 2-yr-old Aussie and my 8-yr-old kid. She is pretty immediately loving and protective and has started picking up training already.

Found Pet
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
She was found by a friend in a front yard. My friend asked if we could keep her so she wouldn’t be sent to the pound and potentially put down. She plays so well with my dog and my kid and as much as I’d love to keep her, I just can’t take her on permanently.
