Senior girl looking for a forever home

Due to changes in housing circumstances and loss of support network, I’m looking for a suitable forever home for my(just turned 11 years old) female Australian Shepherd. This has been a really hard decision and it will break my heart letting her go. I do want her to her best life and that’s something I’m unfortunately unable to provide anymore due to factors outside of my control. She loves people and easily takes to just about anyone, I have no doubt that with the right, loving people she will be just as happy. She seems to have a slight preference for women purely due to a more gentler, affectionate nature but as long as you are friendly and give affection, she will adore you. If you give her a scratch and then take a break, she will very quickly remind you to keep going:)
She is a typical velcro dog who follows you around and likes to be close so needs to feel part of the family. And when you’re not home, she is a great watchdog. Loves kids, would be ok to with another dog and has been exposed to many different animals throughout her life.
She has been raw fed all her life and my 1 non-negotiable is that new owners continue feeding the same diet, keeping her at a healthy weight, especially now that she’s in her senior years. Ideally, I’d like to find someone who is experienced in feeding a balanced raw diet, veers on the side of holistic care and genuinely cares about the animal’s overall health and wellbeing. And someone who understands that this dog has spent a significant chunk of her life around me, my family and my friends and we all love her dearly so would be open to keeping in touch, give us an update on how she’s going or share a photo here and there.
Happy to answer any questions and provide more information. I will be starting with a meet and greet with any potential new carers, followed by a property inspection and a short trial to see how it all goes. Happy to take time with this process to make sure we find the right fit so she can settle in and out the rest of her years in her new home. She will have a health check prior to going to a new home. She’s overall just a happy, sweet girl with a big heart and everyone that meets her, loves her
