About Artie

Meet Artie! This 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix weighs in at 33 lbs and has a calm, gentle demeanor that makes him a delight to be around. He enjoys human companionship and already knows how to sit on command. Artie walks nicely on a leash, displaying relaxed manners as he navigates his surroundings. Despite being a bit unsure of shelter life, he takes his time adjusting to new situations. In the yard, he tends to observe rather than engage, allowing other dogs to approach him while maintaining a little distance. Artie may be somewhat dog selective; therefore, a home where he can be the primary focus, potentially without other animals, might suit him best. With patience, reassurance, and time, he is likely to gain confidence and thrive in a loving environment. Click apply to start the adoption process.
