Cider

Cider is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Cider is a handsome, approximately 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix weighing about 50 pounds. He is looking for a loving new home through no fault of his own. His elderly owners are no longer able to safely care for him, and we want to find him a family that can give him the exercise, structure, and companionship he deserves. Cider is neutered, house trained, and crate trained. He rides well in the car and settles comfortably in his crate. Like many Australian Cattle Dogs, he is intelligent, loyal, and devoted to his people. He can be cautious with new people at first, but once he gets to know you, he is affectionate, playful, and forms strong bonds. He has not had formal obedience training, so his new family should be prepared to continue his training with patience and consistency. Because he is young, smart, and eager to learn, he has great potential in the right home. Due to his strength and protective nature, he is not a good fit for an elderly owner. Cider appears to do well with other dogs and is believed to do well with respectful children with proper introductions. He would thrive with an active person or family who understands herding breeds and can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training. This sweet young dog deserves a home where he can be part of the family and enjoy the active life he was bred for. If you think Cider might be the right fit for your home, please reach out. We'd be happy to answer any questions and tell you more about him. If you are interested in Cider, please text: 765-753- 9900 or email: [email protected]. ***PLEASE CONTACT OWNER DIRECTLY***
