Meet Foster
This handsome fella is Foster, a 10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog on the hunt for his next home! Foster is an absolute pro when it comes to walking on leash, and would make a great companion for a hiker or a fan of the great outdoors. He's happy to romp around and get silly in the yard with his friends, but is also a big fan of settling down for some quality couch time while you catch up on all your favorite shows. Foster is doing great with his training (he's got crate training and house training in the bag), but he can get a little jumpy when excited! Foster could do well in a home with children who are ready to help with his training and management. He could potentially go to a home with a dog-savvy cat with a thoughtful introduction, but says no thank you to living with other dogs, please! Looking for a sweet and smart gentleman to brighten up your day? Then come on down to learn more about Foster today!
About Foster’s reported breed
Australian Cattle Dog
Listed as Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler
The Australian Cattle Dog is a medium-sized herding breed that originated in Australia. The AKC describes the breed as loyal, intelligent and tenacious, and VCA notes it often seeks out work or activity. It tends to suit active homes with structure, and it has limited tolerance for time alone. VCA lists hearing loss, joint malformation in the hips and elbows, and inherited conditions of the eye among its inherited health risks.
