About Tex
Meet Tex! This lively two-and-a-half-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix is currently in Amherst, MA. His energetic spirit is matched by his striking red speckled coat. At around 35 pounds, Tex is medium-sized and thrives on companionship, enjoying your company throughout the day. Tex is a well-behaved and responsive dog, knowing commands like sit, stay, leave it, and place. He benefits from positive reinforcement training and is both house-trained and crate-trained. Tex settles nicely alone, keeping an eye on the world through a window until his people return. His favorite activities include daily walks and playful runs where he can stretch those legs! Affectionate and loyal, Tex forms strong bonds with his caregivers. He is adaptable, having done well with new people, even during his family's absences. Friendly with other dogs, Tex invites playful interactions and shares his space with ease. However, he possesses a strong herding instinct, especially around fast-moving children, which has led to past incidents. Due to this, an adult-only home or one with older teens who understand herding breeds will be best for him. Tex is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, ready for a new loving family. If you enjoy an active lifestyle and can offer engagement and ongoing training, Tex could be your perfect companion. His playful charm and need for guidance will shine in the right environment. Could Tex be the one to join your journey? If you're interested in giving Tex a loving home, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com for more details. He’ll stay with his current family until a suitable home is found. Long-distance adoption is also an option; love knows no distance!
