Anari is a striking Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie mix, unmistakable thanks to his unique brindle and cream coloring. Though he’s a senior, Anari still brings out a playful side around other dogs—he genuinely enjoys their company and could thrive in a multi-dog home. Underneath his shyness with new people is a loyal, gentle spirit who, once he feels safe, comes out of his shell at his own pace. He’ll need a patient adopter comfortable with the reserved nature common to these breeds. Anari has not been house trained yet, so some work on routines and consistency will be important. His adopter should understand herding breeds, offer structure, and use positive reinforcement to help Anari settle into new routines. He benefits from regular play, especially if there’s a secure yard, and will be happiest where calm leadership and patience are abundant. Anari gets along well with dogs and children, though he may take time to warm up to new people. This is a dog looking for someone willing to invest time and heart into helping him grow in confidence. Fun fact: born May 13, Anari is a Taurus, known for perseverance and quiet loyalty. Start your journey together! Apply now.
