GREAT FAMILY DOG
DOB 11/1/18, weight 65 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Kodi, a sweet, gentle, loving, and playful red Australian Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog mix. (This is an AKC breed that is NOT an Australian Cattle Dog with a docked tail.) We are a naturally bob-tailed breed that stands square with plenty of leg-length under our bodies.
My hooman mom describes me as “a great family dog” because I get along great with adults, kids, cats, and other dogs. You name it, I’m easy to please. I can’t get enough of playing fetch, and I’m an expert at focusing on the ball. Alas, I need to work on my ball-catching before I’m recruited to be an Astros outfielder! Foster Mom thinks I look like a unicorn when I lope around the backyard. I’m very much like a young teenager in my demeanor yet possess all the refinements of a mature dog, i.e. no chewing, no food aggression, no housebreaking accidents.
After a rousing game of fetch, I enjoy being a couch potato with Foster Mom because I cherish lying as close as possible to her. Although I’m not demanding, I soak up any affection and cuddles that she dispenses; in fact, occasionally I like for her to hold me. I treasure the shared downtime with Foster Mom as much as I enjoy our neighborhood walks.
I’m quite intelligent and know basic obedience. I realize that I have the capacity to learn more commands, which I’d enjoy because I’d be spending more one-on-one time with my hooman. I’m not much of a barker, although I alert Foster Mom when Amazon or the postman is at the door. Also, I share my glee when it’s time to go outside for fetch or a walk.
I was orphaned when my owner died, and my Foster Mom graciously agreed to bring me into her home, which I share with both cats and other dogs. I blended into the established group quite pawsitively and am actually quite kind to my foster mates. I prefer to be the leader, but I’m not an alpha dog. I’m such a perfect pooch that I’d make a great starter dog for any family. Do you have room in your heart and hearth for a big, burly, and handsome red man who will love you 200%? Then arrange to meet me, and let’s begin writing a new chapter in our lives together!
