Story
Meet Cordelia
Fostered in Cedarburg, WI
Cordelia is a 6-month-old Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who just arrived in Wisconsin on April 12, 2025, after being rescued from a high-kill shelter in Georgia. Now safe and settling into her foster home on a beautiful farm in Cedarburg, this sweet girl is blossoming more each day.
Cordelia is the kind of pup who wants to be wherever you are. She has excellent recall, stays close off-leash, and is already comfortable around farm life—doing wonderfully with horses, the tractor, and the general hustle and bustle of the property. She’s curious, affectionate, and eager to bond with her people.
She gets along well with other dogs, is friendly with cats, and has been gentle around kids. While she’s still learning the basics like potty training and crate training, she’s smart and picking things up quickly with a consistent routine.
Cordelia would thrive in a home that can give her both love and structure—bonus points if you love the outdoors or have some space for her to roam!
