About Nena

Australian Cattle Dog
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Hi! Several weeks ago we found a sweet heeler, who is 2-3 years old, recently had a litter, and is currant on all vaccinations now. We live in one of the worst areas for dogs, deep south Texas, where dogs are not respected as family members. She is a victim of serial dumping, twice that we know of. We tried to get her North with a rescue who helped us with other dogs we took in and vetted, in the past but right now they can't find a foster for her. She is a sweet and affectionate dog but not good with small livestock, she had killed our flock of chicken, which is kind of a good sign, she wants to work. We have a new flock which needs to roam our property soon, and she needs to go.We need our pest control with our trusted dogs. We are reaching out to you to see if we can find a new foster/adopter for this girl before we have to place her in a high kill shelter, that would not be fair to her or our investment in her. She has been spayed, treated for heartworm and is now fully immunized. Thanks in advance, Kathrin & Allen Kleemann UPDATE- Nena has been with us since April 2018, and is no longer as timid or fearful as she was when found. She is a house shadow dog as she sticks close to everyone in the household when inside. She is now behaving much better around chicken and no longer seems to be a threat there, however, should she get bored I don't completely trust her there. We still do want her off our property for that reason as she killed our first flock. She is very easy to train, and no is a scary word for her as she is so eager to please, additionally, she loves chasing balls and gets them back to you somewhat decently. This dog deserves your love and will train out to your will. She is an awesome gem of an animal she just isn't a fit for us.
