Rooster is a one-year-old cattle dog and Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and an energetic streak. He loves downtime on the sofa just as much as he loves running outside, soaking up your attention and affection as he goes. Give him an open space to roam or a long walk, and he’s in his element. His playful side shines through when he feels secure, making him a great fit for an active household that wants a companion who’s up for adventure but still content to be a loyal presence by your side. Since coming into foster care, Rooster has shown patience and resilience. It’s clear he’s learning to trust new people and places, so a calm adopter who gives him plenty of time to warm up will get the best from him. His foster recommends a secure 6-foot fence and a yard leash during any adjustment period. If you have another dog, take introductions slow and steady—Rooster thrives on predictability and benefits most from transitions done at his pace. He’d likely do best as an only dog or in a rural setting, especially with a privacy yard so he isn’t bothered by other dogs nearby. Rooster’s ready to bring his blend of sweetness and adventure to a family who’ll appreciate both. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
