About Socks

Hi, I’m Socks, a female Australian Kelpie. I’m 1 year old and ready to be your loyal sidekick. I do best in a home where I have daily routines, training, and time to explore.

I enjoy a sniffy walk, puzzle games and naps.

I would like daily opportunities to learn about life - at my own pace. I can take a little while to build trust in people but if you are willing to be patient and kind with me I will learn to trust you.

An important need: I must have secure outdoor access, like an enclosed backyard or an attached enclosure, so I can safely enjoy the outdoors and burn off energy. If you’re ready to invest in daily learning, love a curious, engaged companion, and provide a safe space, I’d be thrilled to join your life and bring joyful Kelpie curiosity into your days.
