Mae is a three-year-old pointer and Australian cattle dog mix pulled from a high-kill shelter and now safe at a no-kill rescue. She’s petite, weighing about 32 lbs, with striking black and white markings and bright, intelligent eyes. Mae comes off shy at first, especially in new situations, but quickly warms up when she feels safe. She loves companionship and prefers to be with her person most of the time. This isn’t a dog with endless energy—Mae is calm, quiet, and good at reading a room. Her social skills are solid: she gets along with children and larger dogs, but does not do well with small dogs or cats. Mae has always lived indoors and, while it’s unclear if she’s fully house trained due to the stress of kennel life, she should adjust quickly in a home with some patience and consistency. She already knows some commands and responds well to gentle guidance. Mae enjoys walks and handles a leash well. A fenced yard is essential so she can safely enjoy some time outdoors. She’d make a reliable companion—happy on a ride, at a family picnic, or helping turn a quiet evening into a cozy one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
