My story

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


Bones is a 21-pound 1-year-old (b. Sept 2024) mixed breed - Australian Cattle Dog with something small - with one blue eye. She was adopted by her current owner from Lollypop Farm in early November 2025.

She is, first and foremost, a snuggler. "Lazy Bones" loves her rest and prefers to take it curled up next to someone. She can be quite playful at times, especially belly rubs and ball-chasing.

Bones was potty-trained by her current owner and has finished basic puppy training classes. Though not perfect, she has proven the ability to learn.

As a young dog, she is understandably energetic, though when energized she can get jumpy and mouthy (but she doesn't bite in anger). She also barks a bit too often given she lives in a townhouse. She can be clingy, and isn't yet used to spending long stretches alone. She is taking anxiety medication, a continuation from her time at Lollypop.

Overall: A good cuddlepup who could use more training, just not a great fit for her owner.
