Hi! I'm Shaileen! So nice to meet you! I am ADORABLE! 5 months old. 32 lbs. Love dogs! Learning all the important stuff at my foster home to help me be the best dog. Crate trained, working on my leash skills-smarty pants yep that is me! Wanna meet me? *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.

Cattle Dog

🧠 Temperament

Whip-smart, intense and endlessly driven. Australian Cattle Dogs bond hard to one person and need work; without it they herd whatever is available, including people and bikes.

🎾 Exercise

Very high — 90+ minutes plus daily training or a dog sport.

✂️ Grooming

Short weather-resistant double coat, easy but sheds seasonally.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Crate trained, working on my leash skills-smarty pants yep that is me!. One of the toughest apartment breeds.
