My story

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

Location: Sunbury, Ohio

Howdy, Y'all! I'm Cowboy, an Australian Cattle Dog. I am about 3 and a half dog years old. Along with being mighty handsome, I'm neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and current on heartworm and flea prevention. I am house-trained and crate-trained. Right now I'm livin' with my foster mama, one human sibling and a pack of dog siblings in Sunbury, Ohio.

My foster mama says I'm a real good boy and she can't believe that I found my way to her with no home to call my own (yet). She can be peculiar, that foster mama. I don't know why she's always admiring my behind- she's always saying something about my "cutest nub tail". I don't mind the attention, but I really just want her to throw the dang ball. I have a few words that I live by, "Ball is Life."

I reckon' it's a good time spent with my dog siblings so long as they don't try and bully me. I'll stand my ground when it comes to a bully. Sometimes I think it's a lot of fun to chase and pick on the little dog so I would appreciate some house mates closer to my own size. I don't think I'd do well with a feline companion, but I haven't met one here yet. Housemates or no housemates, Ball is still Life!

To sum it up real good for y'all.. I'm just a good ole, smart, loyal and handsome guy with a nubby tail who lives to play ball with my person. My foster mama says if you have been waiting for the perfect red heeler to walk into your life, nows your chance to meet me. I don't know how you could call a Cowboy perfect, but you can ask her yourself at jenfash.acdra@outlook.com.

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.
