Adopt Vena a Black Australian Cattle Dog / Mixed Breed (Medium) / Mixed (short

Location:

Mesquite, TX

Description:

You may notice that I got carried away with photos of Vena. She is very photogenic. She captured my heart, and I wanted to show her off! She is an approximately four-year-old 48 pound Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Kelpie mix that was brought in by one of our officers as a stray on 4/11. For the life of me, I can't imagine why her owners haven't come looking for her. She's a nice-looking gal with a sleek black coat and pointed ears. It looks like she's been well taken care of. I'm told when she first came into the shelter she was extremely shy. She's coming out of her shell but she still is laid-back and a little on the cautious side. There's no doubt she's looking for love and has a lot of love to give her new family. At first, she explored the yard and even at one point frolicked, but she mostly stayed close to me. When I stood by the wall, she stood up right next to me leaning on me. When I sat down, she immediately came to me and put her head on my lap. She sits for treats and takes them gently. She did not have a strong pull on the leash, but did jump on me several times when we were walking for reassurance. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She sniffed other dogs, but jumped back when one barked at her. She's very attentive, somewhat playful, very well mannered, sweet, friendly, and very affectionate! She would do best with an easy-going family that would take her for walks, but would let her be an integral part of the family by keeping her in the house most of the time. She deserves the best because she is the best!
