About Darius

Darius is a charming 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix in search of a loving foster home. Despite being deaf, he exudes personality and resilience. Energetic and playful, Darius loves running and playing outside with his doggy friends. When he’s not zooming around, you might catch him sunbathing in a cozy spot, soaking up the sun. Understanding his unique needs is key. Darius feels safest with a family that respects his boundaries. While he appreciates personal space during mealtime, he enjoys sharing toys and treats. He's been around dogs and would thrive with a canine companion, having had his sister Tava by his side when he came to rescue. He’s curious about children but may need a gentle touch, so older kids aged 8 and up would be best. Darius is crate trained, and while he’s not overly interested in toys at the moment, he might just need that perfect one to spark his interest. A yard to explore would be ideal for this affectionate boy! Could you be the family to guide Darius in his next chapter?
