About Larry

Meet Larry — your next working partner! This striking 2.5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog is the real deal and needs a home that understands his working instincts. Larry is on the lookout for a place where he can thrive. His previous family found him to be a bit anxious and stated he has trouble settling down, so he's on medication to help manage that. He'll do best in a structured environment with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep his busy brain engaged. Currently, he lives happily with another dog, showcasing his friendly nature towards his canine pals. This is not a dog who wants to lounge around all day. Larry craves a purpose and routine that matches his high energy and intelligence. He'd thrive in activities like working with livestock, structured training, or even dog sports. If you understand what a true working-breed dog needs and can provide the outlets for his energy, Larry might just be the perfect match for you. Ready to help Larry clock in?
