SHINZO - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Border Collie / Mixed. Meet Shinzo 11 years old • 70 lbs • McNab Mix Shinzo is a distinguished gentleman with a regal presence and a heart full of love. At 11 years old, this 70-pound McNab mix has left behind the hyper energy of youth and now enjoys a calmer, more balanced lifestyle. He’s the perfect companion if you’re looking for a loyal dog who appreciates both leisurely walks and quiet naps by your side. While Shinzo may take a moment to observe new people before warming up, once he decides you’re a friend, he transforms into a total love bug. He gets along beautifully with the dogs in his foster home and is also wonderful with kids (though he’s not a fan of cats). Unlike many herding breeds, Shinzo is refreshingly mellow—he rarely barks, and when he does, it’s with a deep, dignified voice. This boy has excellent house manners: he’s fully house-trained, uses a doggy door like a pro, and knows how to settle calmly indoors. He’s a polite walker on leash and doesn’t demand constant activity—just enough exercise to stretch his legs and then he’s perfectly content to curl up next to you. Shinzo may nudge you with his nose if he feels ignored, but trust us, it’s impossible not to find it endearing. Shinzo doesn’t need a throne—just a loving home and a family who will cherish him for the sweet, gentle soul he is.
