Ivy Blue, STAR #2177

Meet Ivy Blue – Your Shadow, Your Sidekick, Your Sweetheart!

Looking for a loyal companion who believes personal space is overrated? Meet Ivy Blue! This gorgeous 4-year-old, 65 lb. blue merle Australian Shepherd has stunning blue eyes, a playful personality, and enough love to fill your entire home!

Ivy is the definition of a Velcro Aussie! Wherever you go, she’ll be right by your side—and we mean RIGHT by your side! This girl would practically wear your skin if she could! She loves resting her head on your lap, soaking up belly rubs, or simply curling up at your feet. And much like Mrs. Kravitz, Ivy considers it her personal responsibility to know absolutely everything happening around her. Nothing gets past this curious girl!

Don’t let her cuddly side fool you—Ivy loves to play! Fetch is a favorite, and she’s an enthusiastic chewer who enjoys digging through her toy bin to find just the right treasure. Thankfully, she sticks to her own chew toys and leaves your belongings alone! Ivy is currently working on shedding a few extra pounds with daily exercise, but she’s already an active girl who enjoys staying busy.

Ivy has wonderful house manners. She’s fully house-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night beside her foster parents’ bed, and stays off the furniture. She walks beautifully on a leash and is a terrific travel companion, hopping into the car on her own and calmly watching the world go by. Smart, eager to please, and quick to learn, Ivy is a classic Aussie through and through!

This sweet girl is wonderful with children, cat-friendly, and gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. She can occasionally be a little bossy with her male foster siblings, something her foster family is actively working on. Ivy would enjoy a compatible canine playmate but would be just as happy being the center of your world as an only dog. She has no food aggression, although this food-loving girl won’t hesitate to help herself to the cat’s dinner if given the opportunity!

Ivy Blue is a true gem—affectionate, playful, curious, and endlessly devoted. If you’re looking for a best friend who will be your constant shadow, keep tabs on the neighborhood, and shower you with unconditional love, Ivy Blue is ready to be your girl!

Ivy is spayed, fully vetted, and on heartworm prevention. Her foster home is in Abilene (but don’t let that stop you if it feels too far, as we can find a meeting spot to limit travel.). To learn more, start by filling out an application.
IMPORTANT: We do not deliver dogs to adopters – you must be able and willing to come meet the dog in their foster home. A home visit by one of our STAR volunteers is a required part of our adoption program and thus, adoptions outside of Texas are rare because of these two requirements. You must have a secure fence in place, and we are not fans of apartments for this breed, nor homes where the dogs will be home alone 8+ hours daily. All STAR dogs are adopted to be inside pets and family members only and all current or past pets in the home must have proof of being kept up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm prevention. The adoption fee is $400 and trust us, we spend that or much more on dogs to get them vetted – all STAR dogs will be neutered/spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly heartworm prevention. If you already have an application on file with us, you can contact us to let us know you are interested.
