Breed: Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog
Gender: Male
Name: "Stumpy"
Age: 3 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Stumpy arrived as a stray and was nervous at first. He has quickly gained confidence but remains a little submissive as though he is waiting for instruction. He's quite obedient and has had some training. Stumpy will make a loyal companion, however, initially will need lots of love and attention to make him feel secure.

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Cross
Gender: Male
Name: "Bluey"
Age: 14 months
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Bluey is a nice boy with an energetic nature. He will need room to run, i.e. an acreage or active owners who are committed to running him every day.

His new owners need to take their time and gain his trust and show him the world is not a bad place after all. It is unknown at this stage how Bluey is with cats, children or livestock and chooks. A training class is included to start your new friendship on the right foot.

Campaspe Shire Pound (Echuca, Vic.)

Animal ID: 942546
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog x Australian Kelpie
Gender: Male
Name: "Ty"
Age: 2 years
Desexed: YES
Pound Notes: Ty is a very friendly young man who has plenty of energy to burn. If you are looking for a companion to go walking or running with then Ty may be the one. He will keep you motivated and on the move. However, Ty will require an owner who is willing to take him to obedience training to ensure he matures in to a well mannered dog as he only really appears to understand "sit". Ty will need to go to a new home with secure fences, and where he has plenty to do to avoid him becoming bored. Ty is a very affectionate boy and is not afraid to show it with lots of kisses!

Keysborough Animal Shelter (Vic.)

Tag: 34162
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Cross
Gender: Female
Name: "Spot"

Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Spot was surrendered because her owner could no longer care for her. She’s a bright, intelligent girl who has had some basic training. She is very loving and also really loyal to those she interacts with the most (she follows them around like a shadow). Spot enjoys all forms of exercise and she would suit an active adult family or a family with teens, in a home where she won’t be left alone for long periods until she is given time to settle in to her new environment. She is a littler smaller than a pure cattle dog. Spot would not be suitable for a home with cats.
