About Wonder

Wonder is a 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog weighing 28 lbs. She arrived at Woodstock after her time ran out at a rural shelter, having been found as a stray with her older puppies. Initially, she may appear shy and takes her time to warm up, but the love she offers once she bonds is genuine and strong. She is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash—she enjoys her daily walks. Wonder thrives in a calm home without young children, as her skittish nature can be triggered by a lot of activity. She gets along well with other dogs, making a multi-pet household a possibility, but it's best to avoid homes with cats due to her breed tendencies. A quieter living environment is essential for her comfort, especially with unfamiliar people around. Experience with her breed is highly recommended for potential adopters.
