My story

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

Have you ever wanted a cattle dog, but thought they were just a little on the small side? Well, we've got just the cattle dog(mix) for you. Jay Jay is turning 8 months old on 10/27/24 and currently weighs in at 48.8 lbs and approximately 20 inches from paw to shoulder. Thanks to an Embark test of his brother, we know he's mostly an Australian Cattle Dog with a bit of Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, and, interestingly, Great Pyrenees. Online calculators put his adult weight anywhere from 68 to 85 pounds.

Jay's herding style is more consistent with his Border Collie side, with very little in the way of nipping. He is a true velcro dog, loving to stay near his person. He's sensitive and brilliant, picking up new training almost instantly. He has completed his beginner level training and just started the intermediate level. He is very treat motivated and his trainer has stated any local adopter is welcome to go back through his training classes, free of charge, to enable bonding with his new person and reinforce his confidence building.

Like many cattle dogs, he is a bit slow to warm up to people. Multiple meet and greets may be needed with all family members, including furry ones, in order to ensure a smooth transition. His potty training is going well and he is fully crate trained. Though, due to his size, an extra large or larger crate is required. Jay is medium to high energy. When bored, he will happily find some way to entertain himself.

Jay is fully vaccinated, current on preventatives, microchipped, and neutered. He is looking for a patient and loving family willing to work with him to allow him to blossom into his full potential.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
