Hagen is a two-year-old, neutered male Australian Cattle Dog mix currently fostering near Cape Cod, MA. Outgoing for a cattle dog, he likes meeting new people and checking out unfamiliar places. Hagen’s got a loud side—he’ll bark to let you know he needs a bathroom break, hears something strange, or sees other dogs coming and going. Playful by nature, he’s just started developing a love for toys, and he’s notorious for nabbing household items when you’re not looking—think paper towels, brooms, pretty much anything he can carry off as a prize. Dog relationships are complicated for Hagen: he’s considered dog-selective. He can be a bit reactive on leash or when crated, though with attentive handling it’s manageable. Hagen’s past wasn’t easy; he came from a backyard breeder and landed in a high-intake shelter, so he’s still learning how good life can be. He’s crate trained, house trained, and vaccinated. He’s not a match for cats, and homes with kids 12 or older are recommended. Hagen does best with people who can guide him patiently and give him the structure and confidence-building he missed out on the first time around. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
