About Apache

Apache is a charming spayed female Australian Cattle Dog, around 5 years old. Rescued from a barn where she was bred repeatedly, her initial anxiety showed through low growling and hiding. With patience, she unveiled her affectionate side, showering her caretakers with puppy kisses, zooming around, and flipping on her back for belly rubs. She has learned that she's in safe hands and now enjoys cozy naps in the office. Apache is already house trained and up to date on all vaccinations. While she may take some time to warm up during first meetings, her loyalty and playful spirit quickly shine through. She would thrive in a mini-farm environment, happily following her humans during chores and enjoying quiet moments inside. Proper introductions to children and other pets will be essential, but Apache is not an aggressive dog. She's ready to offer love and companionship in a forever home.
