About Grenadine

Grenadine is an Australian Cattle Dog who has left her wild puppy days behind. She prefers not to bounce off the walls like younger cattle dogs—she’s gentle and easy to love, though a bit reserved until you gain her trust (treats, especially chicken, speed that up). Grenadine does not enjoy car rides or lots of action. Instead, she is happiest curled up on a soft couch in a calm home. She gets along best with laid-back dogs or mellow cats, but she doesn’t need animal companionship to be content—her main priority is peace and quiet. Energetic or overly social pets make her anxious, so any resident dogs need to come for a meet and greet to ensure their personalities match. Grenadine’s ideal home is tranquil with comfy furniture, few visitors, and someone who truly enjoys a snuggly companion. She is about 5 to 7 years old, spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are current. Grenadine is fostered near Mansfield, OH. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
