About Roux

Meet Roux! Roux is an 18-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, weighing a perfect 35 pounds. She's a clever and curious companion, always ready for her next adventure. With her youthful energy, Roux thrives on playtime. She's got skills, can fetch a ball, and is great at tug-of-war, enjoying interactions with both people and other dogs. After a fun-filled play session, she loves to curl up for a cuddle. Roux would benefit from a home with a playful canine friend. However, she can be too rambunctious around cats, viewing them as a chase buddy rather than a companion. A physically fenced yard is ideal to accommodate her energetic zoomies. Roux is both house and kennel trained. As a loyal and intelligent breed, she requires regular exercise and some fun training. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Adopters need to be within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only, please.
