About Harloe

Meet Harloe, an 18-month-old Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog mix with an outsized heart and a serious love for her family. She’s incredibly loyal, smart, and forms tight bonds with her people. Harloe does well with the kids in her immediate circle (especially those 12 and up) but tends to be protective if unfamiliar children come into her space, so she needs a home with clear boundaries and structure. She enjoys playtime and gets along with dogs that are her size or larger, but isn’t suited for homes with small dogs under 15 lbs. True to her cattle dog roots, Harloe is intelligent, naturally protective, and always eager to please. Continued training will help her build confidence and adapt smoothly to new situations. House trained and easy to care for with her short coat, she’s already spayed and vaccinated. If you want a companion who’s devoted and sharp as a tack, Harloe will stick right by your side.
