Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Clover is a 4-year old, 45 lb Australian Cattle Dog. This sweet and sassy girl is looking for a loving and attentive home. She is currently living with her owner and another heeler in Bend Oregon. Clover is devoted to her tribe but it takes her time to warm up to new people and dogs.
Clover is high energy and athletic. She loves playing fetch, playing with other dogs and swimming. Due to her reactivity towards moving things (vehicles, bikes, scooters, people) her exercise locations need to be selected with care. Her favorite place to exercise around Bend is Reynolds Pond (BLM land). There’s not usually motor vehicles or a lot of people and dogs for her to get scared by.
Clover's ideal home would have few new visitors and little access to busy or street-facing windows. The ability to manage Clover's intros with new people both when home (i.e. crates, baby gates) and when on-leash is necessary. Clover currently lives in a home with a male heeler and a cat. While she is an annoyance to the cat, Clover and her heeler bother love to play and rough-house together. She is generally fearful of new dogs but warms but with slow intros. Clover has spent a little time around horses and cattle; she's been calm and observant around them.
With her people, Clover is sweet, devoted and snuggly. She will seek out her person when she needs a hug or snuggle time. Clover and her owner have been working with Dancin' Woofs Training in Bend on her reactivity and impulse control. Between the training and anxiety medication (fluoxetine), Clover's ability to stay calm and attentive to her handler has improved in recent months. Clover is muzzle-trained and crate-trained.
Clover is spayed, microchipped and has received age-appropriate core vaccines. Clover is being fostered in Bend, Oregon and the adoption fee is $290. If you're interested in meeting Clover, please fill out an adoption application on our website: pnwcdr.org/adopt
Please note: We do not do DNA testing on our foster dogs. The breed description is our best guess based on the dog’s appearance, mother’s appearance, paperwork, etc.
