My story

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

Location: MD 

Meet Cinch, the Happiest Boy on Earth!

Cinch is a 10-month-old ACD mix (we think with shepherd) weighing 45 lbs. He was found as a stray and taken in by a kind neighbor until ACDRA could place him in his long-term foster home. This wonderful boy is the perfect blend of playful, calm, and affectionate.

Why Cinch Will Steal Your Heart

Cinch is simply the sweetest, happiest boy with a tail that never stops wagging (see videos)! He has medium energy and is generally laid-back, with the occasional burst of zoomies. Cinch gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and ages—he loves to play and roughhouse.

Smart and food-motivated, Cinch has already mastered house training, crate training, the doggie door, and leash walking. He loves chewing on toys and Nylabones and knows several basic commands. With solid recall skills, Cinch wouldn't necessarily need a fenced yard. After a day full of adventures, he settles beautifully and loves snuggling with his foster dad on the sofa. He also enjoys his quiet time in the crate and sleeps peacefully throughout the night.

Good to Know

Cinch has lived with cats but, like many cattle dogs, may chase them. He has also lived with young children in his temporary foster home and would likely be gentle with them despite his larger size. Cinch is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives.

Ready to Make Cinch Part of Your Family?

 

This incredible boy deserves a wonderful forever home for the holidays !  At just 10 months old, he's past the intense puppy stage but still young enough to bond deeply with his new family.

Cinch is being fostered in Adamstown, MD. Contact his foster dad:  kirkdruey@gmail.com  or fill out the adoption application:  https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application .

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
