Tucker is an awesome 8-month old cattle dog mix at the Delaware SPCA. He shows the great traits of the breed, but, unfortunately, was quite fearful when he first came to the shelter. He was twice adopted out to people who couldn’t handle his cattledog-ness! The first adopter returned Tucker for herding the family’s older dog, and the second adopter returned him after he bit a 12-year old child. We don’t know the circumstances of the bite incident, but prospective adopters were explicitly told that Tucker should not go to a home with kids. So now Tucker is awaiting the right home who understands him and can meet his mental and physical needs. He is a smart and active dog who will grow and blossom with the correct guidance and plenty of appropriate stimulation.
While at the shelter, he’s become friendly and lively, is super attentive, and fun to work with. He’s been good meeting new people and dogs, though can be a bit jumpy still, particularly around the cat cages. This young dog has energy to burn and his need for exercise is extreme. All he wants to do is run! You can see him in action and get a good sense of his personality in this video.
Tucker is neutered, up-to-date on shots, HW neg, and microchipped. For more detailed information about him, please contact Angie at the shelter at 302.998.2281 or via email at awells@delspca.org. (Updated 4/29/2010)

My name is Riley. I am an 8 month-old, super intelligent purebred Australian Cattle Dog in need of a home with breed
experience. I have LOTS of energy but the amount of love I will give back to you is well worth the time you will have to dedicate
to me. I would love positive rewards-based training and I would also do great with agility. I need a home without children because
I am a herding breed. I would also like an active home that understands how special and smart I am and who is willing to work my
mind. Please ask the staff more about me because I am a sweet boy in need of my loving and forever home.

*** ADOPTED!!! ***
Hi, I’m Ferguson. I’m at the SPCA in Cumberland County, NJ (just west of Atlantic City). I’m about 6 years old. I’ve had a hard-knock life but I’m still a very happy guy. I’m a little overweight and could probably lose a few pounds but some nice walks will take care of that. I have a docked tail so that means I can wag my whole butt when I’m happy, and I like to be happy. I’ve been “fixed” so don’t worry about that either. I was brought in as a stray when I was about 2 years old by a hunter who found me in the woods. I was adopted and lived with a nice lady for about 2 1/2 years but she became too sick to care for me.
I am very happy and energetic. I’m still a pretty young guy after all. I like other dogs around my size (I have a roommate here at the shelter) but I like to chase small dogs and probably cats. I mean no harm at all and get bored with it after a while. I like kids over the age of 8 or 9 years old. I love to snuggle. I snuggled up with the nice lady from ACDRA and I didn’t even know her. My fur is very soft so you’ll enjoy petting me as much as I enjoy being petted.
Please give me a chance, I need my own person or family to play with me and to let me love them. I can sit when you tell me to, I know to go potty outside, I take treats very gently (soft mouth) and I can walk well on a leash.
Overall I’m a great guy who needs ANOTHER chance. Please give me that chance. Please call the shelter at (856) 691-1500. (Updated 8/30/2010)

Rebel is a 3 year-old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog. When we first picked him up, his living conditions were horrendous. He came in with another older dog as well as 23 young chickens. They ALL lived together in the previous owner’s house (yes, the chickens too!). He’s shy but housebroken and not aggressive. Once he knows and accepts you, he’s in LOVE. He has no clue how to play with people. He is up-to-date on his shots (DHPP/Bordetella/Rabies). He has been treated for fleas/ticks, and has been de-wormed with Drontal. He was neutered at the end of June. If you’re interested in adopting Rebel, please contact the Elk County Humane Society. (Update 7/16/2010)

Caesar is a 1-2 year old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog mix. He was brought in as a stray. He is about 30 lbs and is young and frisky and likes to play. Caesar has lots of energy and would need some basic obedience training (He is somewhat nippy since he tries to herd people along by going after their calves and ankles as they walk away!). Caesar does not like other dogs but appears to be housebroken. Please be advised that we do pre-adoption and post-adoption home visits and limit placement to a 30-mile radius from Allentown, PA. This enables us to keep in touch with the family and also get there quickly in an emergency. (Updated 1/31/2010)

Dinky is a Ham (or maybe a Ham-biscuit?). Judging by her weight some might say she was a big dog, but she’s really only a medium-sized girl. She’s a smart girl and will do anything to please you. She’s entering her 3rd year of living at the shelter but all she really wants is a home of her own. She’s very friendly and calm, but she’s got energy, too. If you’re looking for a 7 year-old companion who gets along with other dogs and loves attention, please consider Dinky — she’ll love you for it! (Updated 7/30/2010)

Tuko is a 6 year-old male Blue Heeler. He is housebroken, well-trained and energetic. He loves playing soccer and loves playing with squeaky toys. He is generally well-behaved.

He is very happy and playful. He is very good with children. He requires a lot of play time. Don’t let him near your children’s stuffed animals as he will demolish them almost instantly.

The dogs listed here have not been evaluated by the ACDRA, therefore we cannot vouch personally for them. The ACDRA does not know the parentage of mixes, therefore we cannot and do not assure that any stated mixes include Australian Cattle Dog. Potential adopters are advised that the best approach to selecting a companion is to objectively evaluate their own situation and needs and to match that with the personality and behavior of the adoptee, regardless of parentage.
