My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Put Me In, Coach — I’m Ready to Play

Front Porch looks like a Catahoula Leopard Dog and Australian Cattle Dog mix, and he’s full of energy, focus, and drive. He’s been part of the big game as a former Austin FC mascot, and now he’s ready for some individual coaching—someone who can guide him, channel his potential, and help him shine.

Front Porch isn’t a dog to be taken lightly. He’s smart, aware, and needs structure, clear communication, and consistent guidance to thrive. With the right coach and a solid “playbook,” he shows just how capable and rewarding he can be.

He enjoys bonding with his people and responds well to training and purposeful engagement. Cheese is a favorite treat and a great motivator for learning new skills. Front Porch is ready to suit up for his next chapter with a team that understands him, values his drive, and is ready to help him succeed on and off the field.
