Story
Meet Sport, the handsome and energetic cattle dog who's always ready for an adventure and eager to be by your side as much as possible. Sport is approximately five years old and weighs 40lbs. A recent DNA test has discovered him to be 100% Australian Cattle Dog!
Sport loves playing ball and even knows how to toss it back to you. He thrives with a predictable daily routine and, when he's not engaged in activities, enjoys lounging on his comfy bed.
Sport has been making great progress on his reactivity to dogs and men. He's shown that he can quickly warm up to people and is improving with other dogs. He's even been able to visit pet stores and shop with his foster.
Sport would do best in a home that enjoys activities like horseback riding, kayaking, backpacking, day hikes, and daily jogs. He's the perfect workout partner and adventure companion. Sport loves cuddles and attention once he’s mentally and physically satisfied. If not challenged, he’ll find ways to entertain himself, like tossing his ball at you! Playing fetch is Sport's absolute favorite.
Sport may enjoy a home with a small dog companion, though it may take time for them to build a strong relationship. He needs a family committed to continuing his training, and his foster and a training consultant will provide guidance on what he has learned.
Sport's ideal adopter will have a fenced yard, plenty of tennis balls, and no children under 16, as he can be too energetic for smaller children. He’s not suited for a home with cats, as he finds them too interesting and fun to chase.
Sport is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his core vaccines. He is being fostered in Tacoma, WA.
If you're ready for an adventurous and loyal companion, Sport is waiting to meet you!
