My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Howdy! My name is Shamus and I am a 6 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix weighing in at 67lbs. I was transferred in to Forever Loved from another shelter out of town in the hopes that I’d have a much better chance of being adopted here in the valley. I am currently loving life in a wonderful foster home and my foster calls me a “big baby” in the nicest of ways. I am such a good dog, I have excellent house manners, and I am reliably house trained even using a doggy door. I am not destructive, I love other dogs, especially the little ones, and I don’t guard my food bowl or favorite resting places. I do identify as a small dog and think that I can fit on a lap, but I’m also content to lay on my dog bed. Here’s the deal - I can be a bit vocal at being left apart from my human, but lately it’s been reported that I am quieting down and settling after a few minutes of voicing my displeasure. I also tend to bark at visitors, but it’s not aggressive barking at all! I just am telling them that I want them to sit so I can put my head in their lap and get some beloved pets! I do my happy dance when I see the leash come out for walks, and I love to go on car rides. Although I am a “cattle dog”, I certainly don’t want to “herd” anything. Overall I am a chill guy that just loves people.
