Shasta is 18 mo old Lab/Heeler mix. She is the size of a heeler, at 40 pounds and knee high but the vet thinks she could lose a few pounds. She has the personality of a Lab. She is a gentle girl that would prefer to snuggle and get belly rubs than rough and tumble wrestling. She is sweet and timid girl that needs some exposure and socialization. Shasta is great with kids, dogs and cats. She is crate trained and house broke. She could use some basic obedience to learn proper manners. Shasta walks nice on a leash, loves to go for rides. She is playful but settles down quickly. Shasta loves to be outside but wants you to come with her. She would prefer a fenced in yard.
