Story

Hi, I saw this ad on CL for Junior and he had been kept in a crate and under-nourished for the breed and age. The seller was eager so I offered to purchase him before things got worse for the kid. He is adorable, very cute, loving, active, well mannered, understands sit command. His bones are sticking out a bit inspite of which he has so much spirit and is loving exploring the house and the yard and making friends with my small dog. If you have a heart and a home, he is waiting for you while getting house-trained. Thank you !

Story

Luigi is an amazing dog who is great with people, high energy and loves his toys. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances I am unable to keep Luigi, I am looking to rehome him to a loving household who would be willing to take on having a puppy. He is potty trained and crate trained. I would provide crate harness leash and toys.

Clark

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Adult

Stamford, CT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Clark is a 4-year-old Cattle Dog mix with a heart full of love and energy. He’s the perfect blend of playful and affectionate — he lives for a good game of fetch, loves to run and explore on long walks, and will happily snuggle up at the end of the day for some well-earned cuddle time. Clark is incredibly smart and thrives in a calm, structured environment. He’s looking for an experienced, patient dog owner who understands the needs of a sensitive, loyal pup. Like many herding breeds, Clark is very aware of his surroundings — he does have reactive anxiety and can be slow to warm up to new people. He would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with someone who can offer him consistent routines and lots of outdoor time. Clark is dog-selective — he tends to prefer calm, submissive dogs and doesn’t do well in off-leash group settings. He is not suited for a home with children. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and happiest when he has a job to do — even if it’s just being your most loyal
