About Pebbles

Adoption Fee: $50
Australian Cattle Dog / Poodle
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

Pebbles is a 16-month old Australian Cattle Dog mix (approximately 30% ACD, 20% Poodle, and 10% Australian Shepherd), born on 11/15/2024). She is sweet, intelligent, and deeply loyal. She currently lives in a home with three children (elementary through high school aged), another dog, and a cat. She struggles with anxiety, but proper medication and limited interactions with strangers should help her significantly. She is good with (non-reactive) dogs, older children, and cats. Full disclosure: she is a typical Australian Cattle Dog and has a nip history. In all instances, she 'acted' in defense of her family, whom she adores dearly. To address these concerns, she's on medication, was sent to a 7-week board-and-train, and is muzzle trained. She would do well in a home with experienced, patient dog owners familiar with excitable herding breeds. A large yard in a quiet area (away from streams of passersby, buses, cars, etc.) will be excellent for her to run out her energy without being triggered or overstimulated. It would be optimal for her to be in an environment where owners can keep her completely separated from visitors and entryways (a trigger point for her), or rarely have strangers over, because she will protect her family with every fiber of her lovely black & blue/tan merle being. Her current family loves her deeply and is heartbroken they have to rehome her, but they know she would thrive in a quieter environment with fewer triggers, and rare/no interactions with strangers.
