About Sonora

This red gal is Sonora. She is an Australian Cattledog who is just over a year old and weighs about 33 pounds. In her foster home, Sonora has learned her basics: Sit, down, stay, and wait. She is house and crate trained. As soon as she comes in the house, she rushes straight to her crate and waits for a treat.�%A0 If I take too long to get to her crate she comes around the corner to wait for me, and then rushes back to her crate...LOL!�%A0 When it's time to come out of her crate, she knows she's supposed to sit, but she gets so excited that she sits but hops up and down on her front feet.�%A0Sonora is been nice with dogs her size and larger. She plays with the dogs in her foster home. She has also been polite meeting the donkeys in her foster home. She started chasing the cats but is learning to leave them alone when asked. An adoptive home with cats would require dog savvy cats and people patient with dog/cat introductions. Sonora is a very active girl. Her ideal home has property to play on. She will fetch all day long, if possible. She also loves squeaky toys! If her new home doesn't have property, her ideal home keeps her active throughout the day. This isn't a gal who is ok with a walk a day. This is a dog for hiking, jogging, frisbee, and such. She so good on leash and in the car, so she could be a wonderful adventure partner. Her adopters have to understand that she hasn't been in a busy neighborhood or busy public places, so will need someone patient in showing her that life isn't scary. Once Sonora knows that someone os her person, she is very loyal and loving. She craves attention and loves to cuddle. She likes to be a lap dog! When she has met quiet and polite older kids, she has been nice with them. She is a typical mother heer, so no small kids for her. Sonora needs a quiet home that will continue to work with her. She starts out very guarded with new people and will require polite introductions to ensure she knows she doesn't have to keep herself safe. One person came into the yard unannounced, and she nipped at his hands but didn't break skin. Her foster home has made sure that new people, especially men, go slow and free treats to become friends. Therefore, a home with lots of visitors isn't a great fit for her. Sonora is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is located in SoCal. Adopters must be able to meet and adopt here. We do not ship our dogs. A home visit and vet reference are required.
