Description:
Location: VA and NC Meet your new adventure partner, Squid! This striking 42-pound cattle dog mix is estimated to be approximately 2 years old, and he's as handsome as he is huggable. With his soft coat, sweet eyes, and love for cuddles, he’s the perfect blend of rugged and affectionate. He thrives in an active home where he can stretch those long legs, sniff out new trails, and be your enthusiastic sidekick—whether you're running on the beach, hiking in the mountains, or just exploring your neighborhood. With his natural athleticism and drive, he’d also excel in agility training or any sport that lets him show off his smarts and stamina. True to his cattle dog roots, he has a playful, energetic spirit and a little bit of that classic herding nippiness and jumping when he’s excited—but don’t worry, he’s already making great progress through training! He’s incredibly intelligent and eager to please, making him a quick study. He already knows basic commands like sit, down, and off, and he's actively learning even more. He's also crate trained, potty trained, and quickly picking up leash manners. Whether it’s doggie daycare or a bustling park, he’s a total social butterfly—great with other dogs and friendly with people of all ages. This sweet, smart boy is ready to be someone’s loyal companion for life. He’s fully up to date on vaccines, loves playtime just as much as snuggling, and has all the makings of an incredible best friend. If you’ve got the energy, love, and time to offer a bright, affectionate pup with a big heart and a bigger zest for life, he might just be your perfect match. Available for adoption in NC & VA—email [email protected] to meet your new best friend! Complete an Application https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application *Not tested with children or cats
