About Tex
Meet Tex! Tex is a lively two-and-a-half-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix in Amherst, MA. His red speckled coat reflects his energetic spirit, and he weighs around 35 pounds. This medium-sized boy thrives on connection and loves being by your side, bringing joy and companionship throughout the day. Well-trained and responsive, Tex knows commands like sit, stay, and leave it, and he learns happily with positive reinforcement. He is house-trained and crate-trained, settling down nicely when alone like a loyal observer at the window. Daily walks, fetch, and spirited runs are favorite activities for him! Tex is affectionate and forms strong bonds with his caregivers, always eager to stay close and share moments. He gets along well with other dogs and brings social energy to every interaction. However, Tex has a strong herding instinct, especially around fast-moving children. He has had an incident where overstimulation led to a bite, necessitating a more adult-only home or one with older teens who understand his needs. With ongoing, structured training, Tex has shown great potential for growth. He needs a committed owner who can provide him an active lifestyle, regular exercise, and a supportive environment to build confidence. Fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, Tex is ready to embrace his next chapter with a family that will appreciate his playful charm and need for guidance. If you seek a devoted companion to share life's adventures, Tex is ready and waiting. Could he be the one to join your journey? Click apply to start the adoption process.
