Meet Grumpy, a delightful 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog blend weighing in at a sturdy 40 lbs! Now, don’t let his name fool you—this handsome lad is just a sensitive soul trying to navigate the world. 🐾💖 Grumpy is currently on a journey of self-discovery after joining his new environment and experiencing playgroup for the very first time. At first, he was a tad unsure, but once he settled in, he started engaging with the other dogs like the superstar he is! 🌟 While Grumpy can show a little ‘spice’ when feeling nervous—especially if someone reaches over his head—he’s truly making strides and proving that he has a heart of gold beneath that tough exterior. During a doggie test with his new friend Henna, Grumpy wanted to gauge the situation before fully diving in. He asked for a little space at first but relaxed when he realized she meant no harm. It was an adorable display of trust as he returned to his handlers for some much-needed reassurance. Grumpy may be a little reactive due to his fear and uncertainty, but with the right family—one that appreciates his unique breed and provides a calm environment—he’s bound to become the warm-hearted companion we know he can be. Ideal adopters would be experienced and understanding, and Grumpy would thrive best in a home without small children. Let’s help this boy shine! 🌈 With a loving and structured environment, Grumpy is just waiting for that special someone to help him discover his softer side. How about you?
