About Lorado

Meet Lorado, a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Lorado weighs in around 44 pounds and thrives on social interaction—he loves meeting new people and relishes every bit of attention. True to his breed, he’s high-energy, adores running around with his ball, long walks, and a good lounge session either in the sun or by your side on the couch. Lorado is classic cattle dog: eager to herd and can get mouthy during play, so he’ll fit best with someone familiar with positive reinforcement training and the breed’s quirks. He’s curious and energetic, ready to explore, but also knows how to dial it down and snuggle up once he’s tired. New dogs require a slow introduction, and Lorado needs a cat-free home. Because he can get mouthy when excited, a household with kids 13+ is recommended. Lorado has a handsome look that’s sure to add some fun to your days. He recently spent a few days in foster care, where he proved to be potty trained and happily rode along for car rides and walks. Give him structure and patience, and you’ll have an enthusiastic, loving companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
