Julie isn’t just active—she’s electric in the happiest, most joyful way. At just 1 year old and 35 lbs, this Aussie mix is the kind of dog who makes the world feel brighter simply by being in it. She runs like she’s chasing joy itself, plays like everything is exciting (because to her, it is), and then melts into the sweetest, most affectionate companion when the day winds down.

She’s ready for a home that can keep up with her spark—and return it with love.
