My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location: NJ



Are you looking for a dog that is down to have fun or just snuggle on the couch with you? If so then Flounder is your man! Flounder came into the rescue in August as a scared but super sweet young man. He is a small guy at about 30 pounds, 1-2 years old and is neutered. Flounder is up to date on his vaccines and is on monthly flea and tick and heartworm preventatives. Flounder has made great progress since coming into the rescue. He now will slowly go up to people and politely ask for pets. He sits nicely and watches the world when he is out and about with his foster family. 

Flounder is potty-trained and crate trained and runs into his crate when he knows its times to eat. He makes no fuss about going in his crate as that is his safe space. Flounder is a medium energy dog and enjoys running in the backyard with his foster siblings. He LOVES other dogs and will need at least 1 other confident dog in his new home. He is working hard on his leash walking manners and he making good progress. He had no idea what a leash was when he got here but does best with a harness. Flounder would really benefit from some doggy obedience classes to boost his confidence. He is a lovely, sweet dog who needs a patient new family to continue his progress he has made in his foster home. Flounder is also working on riding in the car. Flounder does get car sick when going on long cars but does best in a crate covered and some calming music playing. Flounder already knows sit and his recall is getting better and better every day. He is a very smart boy and loves learning. He could make a fun tricks dog or if his new family wants to try other sports Flounder would enjoy that. 

Flounder has a few must haves for his new family. First, a confident playmate. Flounder loves other dogs and lights up when he sees other dogs. He looks to his foster siblings for confidence when meeting new people. Second, a physically fenced in yard. Flounder enjoys playing fetch and soccer in the yard and running full speed across the yard. He is one fast boy!. Third, a comfy bed to sleep in. Flounder loves to sleep in bed with his foster family. He enjoys cuddling with his people and wants to be as close as possible. Fourth, a fun-loving family that will take him on adventures and teach him new things. Flounder’s new family need to be ready to continue his progress to build a confident young dog. He needs a home with children 14 years or older. He even does well with the cats in his foster home. 

Flounder is a fun-loving, snuggly boy who is ready for his new home. He is the perfect age, loves training but the hard work of potty-training and crate training are already done. This boy has been waiting a long time for his new family and we are hoping it is finally his time to find it!

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
