Puppy

Meet Puppy!

A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and Shepherd mix from San Diego, CA, whose energy and heart are as big as her dreams of finding a forever family. With her fawn brindle coat adorned with white accents and spotted paws that seem to dance when she's excited, Puppy is the definition of a fun-loving, goofy companion who is always ready to brighten up your day!

This incredible girl has come a long way from her early days and has blossomed into a bundle of love and joy. She's earned a "Basic Obedience" certificate and knows commands like "Place," "Heel," and "Sit" like a pro, proving just how smart and trainable she is. Puppy thrives on learning new tricks, and her eagerness to please makes her a joy to train and bond with. Her playful spirit is infectious, and she loves being around people—she’s as friendly with strangers as she is with her trusted humans! Puppy gets along well with her current dog and cat friends, showing that she's got a lovely side that loves company and companionship. With a special bond with children, she’s become fast friends with a toddler in her current family. However, her high energy and a few quirks make her best suited to a home with older children who understand her need for personal space, especially around food.

True to her mix of breeds, Puppy has that classic, joyful stubbornness that’s common in Australian Cattle Dogs. Her goofy antics and steadfast loyalty will keep you smiling, but she’s also got a strong personality that needs a confident, understanding caregiver. Puppy does face challenges with resource-guarding, especially around food, and may snap if she feels her food is at risk. She’s an incredibly loving dog with much to give, but she thrives with a family who can provide the training and understanding to help her manage these tendencies positively. Her ideal family would also provide an active lifestyle with lots of exercise, a fenced yard, and a commitment to help her grow in confidence and trust.

Are you ready to add a unique, lovable companion to your life? Puppy’s waiting with a wagging tail and all the cuddles you could ever hope for!
