Australian cattle dog | Breed | The Animal League Of Green Valley

Isabella

Hi… my name is Isabella.

Adopted December 26, 2015

OK, I know that there are dogs who are perfectly content being “outdoor only” critters, but even after living with my family for 5½ years (all my life), I still wanted to be inside with them! My people (a senior couple) said that I’d recently started getting into mischief out there, so since they had four other outside dogs and couldn’t bring just me in, they felt I needed a place and home to call my own. They said I’m a gentle lady who is very submissive, so I’ll bet with just a bit of explanation on the finer points of indoor living, I’ll be a great companion. I’m a Boxer (my dad) and Australian Cattle Dog (my mom) mix, and I’d love the opportunity to show you just how endearing I can be!

Jessie

Hi… my name is Jessie.

Adopted October 11, 2014.

I’m really happy there are people out there hiking around Elephant Head, because that’s how my brother, James, and I ended up here. We were sitting at the DeAnza trailhead when he left and when he came back, so I’m glad he didn’t think leaving us was an option! If you know Australian cattle dogs then you’ll know we’ve got smarts galore, and in addition to that we’re loyal and loving. I’m a little laid back (especially when my brother’s around!), but when it’s just you and me, I’m a real lover. I’m yearning for a family and an active life, so if you’re into that, let’s get together!

James

Hi… my name is James.

Adopted October 11, 2014.

I’m really happy there are people out there hiking around Elephant Head, because that’s how my sister, Jesse, and I ended up here. We were sitting at the DeAnza trailhead when he left and when he came back, so I’m glad he didn’t think leaving us was an option! If you know Australian cattle dogs, then you’ll know we’ve got smarts galore, and in addition to that we’re loyal and loving. It’s pretty obvious that I haven’t missed too many meals, so perhaps a bit of a diet (and WAY more exercise) should be on the agenda for me. Wouldn’t you like to provide that? I know I’ll love you for it!

Chloe

Hi… my name is Chloe.

I was adopted on April 12, 2014.

After my senior mom’s husband died, her kids kindheartedly gave me to her for company. I began life with her as a fairly small puppy, but, as these things go, I quickly developed into an 18-month-old, high-spirited teenager, got a lot bigger (well only 30 pounds!), and became “too much” for her. She taught me lots of commands though, and being an Australian cattle dog, it took no time at all to learn them, so for you people out there who think my breed is just the best there is (I certainly think so!), I promise that I’m going to be the dog of your dreams. I love people, am GREAT with kids, well behaved, and am a happy-go-lucky gal who wants to share all the joie de vivre I have with you!
