This page is in memory of Karyl Heathman who was an amazing leader in our Aussie Rescue community. She inspired many and is greatly missed. Karyl’s passion was to work with others to find loving safe homes for Aussies. She loved helping Aussies and herding mixes.

I am a spayed female, black and tricolor Australian Shepherd.
I’m a sweet, happy go-getter with a big heart and an even bigger wiggle butt! I absolutely love playing fetch (I even know “drop it”—how cool is that?), and my pig toy is my best friend. I take it with me everywhere, so you’ll always know where I am!
I’m an adventure dog at heart but also love my quiet time with a nice long nap after a good play session. At first, I can be a little shy, but once I warm up, I’ll be all about the affection. I’m a total people-pleaser and thrive on love and attention. If you’re looking for a sweet, balanced pup with a perfect mix of energy and calm, I could be the one for you! Let’s go on some adventures and cuddle up afterward!
