Tucker is an awesome 8-month old cattle dog mix at the Delaware SPCA. He shows the great traits of the breed, but, unfortunately, was quite fearful when he first came to the shelter. He was twice adopted out to people who couldn’t handle his cattledog-ness! The first adopter returned Tucker for herding the family’s older dog, and the second adopter returned him after he bit a 12-year old child. We don’t know the circumstances of the bite incident, but prospective adopters were explicitly told that Tucker should not go to a home with kids. So now Tucker is awaiting the right home who understands him and can meet his mental and physical needs. He is a smart and active dog who will grow and blossom with the correct guidance and plenty of appropriate stimulation.
While at the shelter, he’s become friendly and lively, is super attentive, and fun to work with. He’s been good meeting new people and dogs, though can be a bit jumpy still, particularly around the cat cages. This young dog has energy to burn and his need for exercise is extreme. All he wants to do is run! You can see him in action and get a good sense of his personality in this video.
Tucker is neutered, up-to-date on shots, HW neg, and microchipped. For more detailed information about him, please contact Angie at the shelter at 302.998.2281 or via email at awells@delspca.org. (Updated 4/29/2010)

My name is Riley. I am an 8 month-old, super intelligent purebred Australian Cattle Dog in need of a home with breed
experience. I have LOTS of energy but the amount of love I will give back to you is well worth the time you will have to dedicate
to me. I would love positive rewards-based training and I would also do great with agility. I need a home without children because
I am a herding breed. I would also like an active home that understands how special and smart I am and who is willing to work my
mind. Please ask the staff more about me because I am a sweet boy in need of my loving and forever home.

Ferguson is a 4 year-old male Australian Cattle Dog at the Cumberland County SPCA in Vineland, NJ. Ferguson had been adopted from the shelter as a stray, but was brought back by the owner due to the owner having surgery. He is very good with other dogs (they have at least two dogs per kennel and he has had various “roommates”). However, according to the owner he has a very high prey drive when it comes to small dogs and cats. He is good with kids, has been very friendly and has given them no problems. Ferguson is neutered, heartworm-negative and up-to-date on shots. This is the county kill shelter for the area and Ferguson has been there a month and is now on limited time. Please call the shelter at (856) 691-1500. (Updated 7/29/2010)
Monmouth County SPCA Eatontown, NJ (732) 542-0040
Taz is a four year-old female ACD/Collie mix available at the Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, NJ. Her previous owner had
given her up due to her playful energy level. She is housebroken, up-to-date on shots and heartworm-negative. She has lived with
another dog, cats, and small children all of whom she was fine with. Taz was evaluated by an ACDRA volunteer and was found to be
as sweet as can be and gave tons of kisses. She would be great for an active family who wants to go camping with her, hiking etc.
Due to her energy level, she would be best in a family with kids over 10 years old. Taz is truly a great dog. If interested, please
call the shelter at (732) 542-0040.

My name is Hayseed and I’m a little dear. My past history is somewhat of a mystery. I’m a little on the shy and timid side, so I need an owner who is very patient and loving with me. I love to go for walks; once I know that we are going outside I know that it will be fun. I love to smell each and every blade of grass. I love to run and have the typical Cattle Dog personality. I long for someone who understands that some dogs have a rough past and need exercise and love. I have a definite willing-to-please attitude. Please just give me a little extra time to make sure you that are a good person! (Updated 12/30/2009)

Rebel is a 3 year-old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog. When we first picked him up, his living conditions were horrendous. He came in with another older dog as well as 23 young chickens. They ALL lived together in the previous owner’s house (yes, the chickens too!). He’s shy but housebroken and not aggressive. Once he knows and accepts you, he’s in LOVE. He has no clue how to play with people. He is up-to-date on his shots (DHPP/Bordetella/Rabies). He has been treated for fleas/ticks, and has been de-wormed with Drontal. He was neutered at the end of June. If you’re interested in adopting Rebel, please contact the Elk County Humane Society. (Update 7/16/2010)

Caesar is a 1-2 year old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog mix. He was brought in as a stray. He is about 30 lbs and is young and frisky and likes to play. Caesar has lots of energy and would need some basic obedience training (He is somewhat nippy since he tries to herd people along by going after their calves and ankles as they walk away!). Caesar does not like other dogs but appears to be housebroken. Please be advised that we do pre-adoption and post-adoption home visits and limit placement to a 30-mile radius from Allentown, PA. This enables us to keep in touch with the family and also get there quickly in an emergency. (Updated 1/31/2010)

Dinky is a Ham (or maybe a Ham-biscuit?). Judging by her weight some might say she was a big dog, but she’s really only a medium-sized girl. She’s a smart girl and will do anything to please you. She’s entering her 3rd year of living at the shelter but all she really wants is a home of her own. She’s very friendly and calm, but she’s got energy, too. If you’re looking for a 7 year-old companion who gets along with other dogs and loves attention, please consider Dinky — she’ll love you for it! (Updated 7/30/2010)

The dogs listed here have not been evaluated by the ACDRA, therefore we cannot vouch personally for them. The ACDRA does not know the parentage of mixes, therefore we cannot and do not assure that any stated mixes include Australian Cattle Dog. Potential adopters are advised that the best approach to selecting a companion is to objectively evaluate their own situation and needs and to match that with the personality and behavior of the adoptee, regardless of parentage.
