Dori is a fantastic dog. She was impounded in a shelter weighing just 6 pounds. She was kennels for 293 days. We became alerted to her situation. She was always a magical creature in the home. Extremely house respectful, great with other dogs, and just a pleasure to have in your home. When she was outside on walks, and on a leash, she very much struggled. She went for board and train at Cesar Milan's Dog Psychology Center. She came out a Gold Star Dog. Absolute perfection. Whoever adopts this dog, will be a very very lucky human. Must live an active lifestyle. All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

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

When she was outside on walks, and on a leash, she very much struggled. 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

One of the toughest apartment breeds. Only realistic if you are genuinely active and ready to train daily.
