✨ Meet Chelsea — Your Loyal Little Shadow ✨
Chelsea is a gorgeous 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is every bit as smart, loving, and devoted as her breed promises. At just 35 pounds, she’s the perfect “take-anywhere” size — small enough for adventures, yet sturdy enough to be a true companion.

Chelsea is shy when first meeting new people and may take a little time to feel comfortable. With the right person who is willing to move at her pace and offer patience, trust, and love, she blossoms quickly. Within just a few days, she becomes a deeply devoted best friend who forms a strong bond with her person.

Once Chelsea decides you’re her person, she loves with her whole heart. She’s very affectionate and prefers to sleep close to her people, thriving on companionship and connection.

Chelsea is house trained and non-destructive in the home, making her an easy and respectful housemate.

She loves car rides and loads perfectly when asked. Her favorite spot is perched on the center console so she can stay close to her human and watch all the action — the perfect co-pilot.

She does wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys attending doggie daycare, but at home Chelsea prefers one-on-one time with her person most of all. She would be very happy as an only dog, devoting her loyalty and affection fully to her family.

Because of her adventurous spirit and active herding breed traits, Chelsea needs a securely fenced yard to safely explore and burn off energy. She would also do best with an adopter who has experience with Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, or similar working breeds, and who understands their needs for structure, engagement, and mental stimulation.

Chelsea bonds deeply with her humans and does experience some separation anxiety, so her ideal home is one where someone works from home, has a flexible schedule, or enjoys including their dog in daily activities.

She would do well with older, gentle children, but may be too energetic and herding-oriented for very young kids.

If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, devoted companion, and adventure partner, Chelsea is ready to give you her whole heart.
