Male • 45 lbs • Neutered • Crate Trained • Active, Smart & Affectionate WATCH SNICKERS VIDEO HERE: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXhVH5QkZv6/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Snickers is a 4‑year‑old Kelpie/McNab cattle dog who is as sweet as he is smart. With his gentle nature and eager‑to‑please personality, he’s ready to become a devoted companion to an adopter who appreciates an athletic, intelligent herding dog. Personality Snickers is a soft, affectionate dog who bonds closely with his people. He’s polite, calm, and enjoys being near his human—whether that means joining you for a walk or relaxing at home. Snickers can be a bit wary of children and sudden movements, so he is best suited for a home with adults or older, dog‑savvy teens. Training & Skills Snickers is crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and loves learning. He’s attentive, responsive, and food‑motivated—an ideal match for someone interested in continuing his training. He already knows: Sit Stay Lie Down He picks up new commands quickly and genuinely wants to do the right thing. Other Animals Snickers does well with: ✔ Cats ✔ Female dogs He is best as an only dog or paired with a calm female, as he can be pushy with male dogs. Energy Level & Ideal Home Snickers greets each day with fresh enthusiasm and looks forward to his daily walks. He will thrive in an active home where he can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and engagement. A person or family who enjoys hiking, walking, or outdoor adventures would be an excellent fit. Why Adopt Snickers? If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will happily join you on adventures and melt into your side afterward, Snickers might be the perfect match. He is affectionate, smart, polite, and ready to give his whole heart to the right home.

Story
Bailey is a beautiful, affectionate 9-year-old with big brown eyes, a winning smile, and the energy of a dog half her age. She loves daily walks, cuddle time, and being close to her person. Check out @its_baileybae to see her in action.She is smart and knows her commands. She loves 2 walks a day but is happy with one solid outing — a neighborhood walk, a hike, or a beach trip all work (she's not a water girl, which keeps her clean!). Get her going with a squeaky toy and she plays like a puppy.Bailey requires a child-free home — she is fearful and reactive around young children. She also does best as the only pet and would thrive with a retiree, someone who works from home, or a person who can bring her along to work.
