Story
🐄 BESSIEBlack & white cattle dog mix | ~1 year oldBessie is the classic farm girl with a curious mind and a gentle soul. A black and white cattle dog mix with one full red heeler parent and one mini Aussie/chocolate lab mix parent, she’s built for movement, problem-solving, and loyalty.Bessie has spent her life outdoors, so the indoor world is still a bit of a novelty. Floors are weird, doors are suspicious, and couches may or may not be magical. That said, she’s incredibly sweet and already knows some basic commands. With patience, consistency, and a sense of humor, she’ll catch on quickly to potty training and house manners.She came from a farm where she did well with cats, chickens, and children, and she’s used to being around other dogs. Any potential canine siblings will need a meet and greet to make sure everyone’s comfortable.Bessie would thrive with an adopter who understands cattle dog mixes and their need for daily exercise, mental stimulation, and a job to do. While she can absolutely adjust to indoor life, she’d also do well with an active indoor/outdoor lifestyle, provided it’s safe, secure, and enriching.Bessie is sweet, thoughtful, and quietly loyal. Once she bonds with you, she’s the kind of dog who watches your every move like it matters… because to her, it does.

Story
🐄 FERDYBlack & white spotted | ~5–6 months oldFerdy is the baby of the bunch, and it shows. At just 5–6 months old, this black and white spotted cattle dog mix is still figuring out the big wide world and why everything is so exciting. He is 50% Red Heeler crossed with what is guessed to be a mini aussie mixed with a chocolate lab. Ferdy is young, sweet, and soaking everything in. He’s lived outdoors so far, so potty training and indoor routines will be part of his learning curve, but at his age, he’s a blank slate ready to learn. He already knows some basic commands and is just unsure enough to be endearing.He came from the same farm environment as his sisters and did well with cats, chickens, kids, and other dogs. As with all our dogs, meet and greets with potential dog siblings are required.Ferdy will need an adopter ready for puppy energy plus cattle dog brainpower. That means daily exercise, enrichment, training, and plenty of positive outlets so he doesn’t invent his own hobbies. He could adapt to indoor life or do well with a safe, active indoor/outdoor lifestyle.If you’re looking for a young dog who’s ready to grow into an incredible companion with the right guidance, Ferdy is ready to moo-ve right in.
