Meet Miles. He’s a striking 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog looking for an active home to be a loyal companion. Weighing in at 55 pounds, he’s healthy, neutered, and fully vaccinated, ready for new adventures. If you want a dog who craves your company, Miles is your guy. He enjoys cuddling, giving kisses, and sticking by your side, whether you're lounging at home or out exploring. His loyalty shines once he forms that bond. Miles is smart and eager to learn, knowing commands like sit, stay, down, and come, plus some fun tricks. He loves running, chasing tennis balls, and staying active. An owner who enjoys hiking, running, or outdoor adventures would match him perfectly. After dinner, Miles looks forward to his Greenie, and if you happen to forget, he’ll give you a nudge. He’s fully house-trained, crate-trained, and has great manners indoors. Like many Cattle Dogs, he forms deep connections and has protective instincts. He has previously nipped a visitor while protecting children in his home. Therefore, he needs an adopter experienced with herding breeds who can provide strong structure and consistency, ensuring a calm environment with less foot traffic. This choice has not been easy for his family; Miles is deeply loved. They understand their busy household isn’t the best match for his personality and want to give him a better chance in a quieter setting. If you’re searching for a loyal companion, adventure buddy, and a best friend who will always be by your side, Miles might just be the one for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
