My story

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

Name: Red
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
Age: 10 years
Gender: Male
Size: Medium (25 kg)

About Red:
Red is a spirited 10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who proves that age is just a number! True to his breed’s reputation, Red is highly intelligent, loyal, and full of energy. He’s a social butterfly who loves people and enjoys leisurely walks, making him an ideal companion for someone who values an active lifestyle. Red adores playing in water and still has plenty of pep in his step despite being a bit older. He’s house-trained, food-motivated, and loves showing off his smarts.

Ideal Home:
Red would thrive in a home with a large property or outdoor space to explore—he likely has farm dog roots. While he loves people, younger kids (under 12) aren’t recommended due to his reluctance to being grabbed at unexpectively. Red would do best as the only pet in the home, as he’s dog-selective. He’s looking for a family who can appreciate his zest for life and keep him active with hikes or other outdoor adventures.

Training and Skills:
Red walks nicely on a leash and is house-trained. His keen intelligence and love of food make him a quick learner, so he’s ready to pick up new tricks or routines in his forever home.

Favourites:
Loves splashing around in water
Enjoys food puzzles or any activity involving treats
Hiking and adventures
Being with people

Dislikes:
Does not like his collar grabbed or hind end touched
May not tolerate younger children well

Health Information:
Red is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and had a dental in November. He’s in great health for his age and ready for a lifetime of adventures.

Adoption Fee:
Senior Adoption $200– This includes vaccinations, microchipping, neutering, and recent dental work.

Additional Notes:
Red has no known history before arriving as a stray in September, but he’s proven to be a loving and active companion. A fenced yard or large property would make him happiest, and he’s eager to find a forever home that matches his lively personality. Red would make a fantastic hiking buddy and lifelong friend.
