About Susie

Meet Susie, an adorable young Australian Cattle Dog and the smallest of her litter. At just 8 weeks old, she weighed around 6 lbs, while her sibling Sunny tipped the scales at nearly 10! Now, she’s about 20 lbs and expected to reach 35-40 lbs once fully grown. Susie is smart and affectionate, showcasing her cleverness with her signature "rub my belly" pose whenever she gets into a bit of mischief. Water is her absolute favorite—she’ll dig and splash around in anything that holds water, and you might catch her enjoying a good soak if the container is large enough. While she is often playful and energetic, she also knows when to pause for a cuddle after a round of fun. Currently located in Bradenton, FL, Susie is ready to find her forever home.
