Brinkley is a striking young Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for a place to finally settle in. At about 2 years old and 44 lbs, she had a tough start—found abandoned with her brother in the Redlands—but she’s finding her footing through steady socialization. Brinkley needs some time to warm up, especially when encountering new experiences, but she’s proven reliable on a leash and is house broken as long as her schedule stays consistent. Once Brinkley trusts someone, her devotion is strong. She isn’t a lap dog right away, but she’ll bond closely with her chosen people. Brinkley gets along nicely with dogs of all sizes. She manages around children but can be nervous about sudden, loud noises, so a home without young children will suit her best. Brinkley is sweet and gentle, and she’ll thrive with a patient adopter ready to let her blossom at her own pace. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
