COBRE - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / CORGI / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Corgi / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Meet Cobre! Cobre is a Corgi/Cattle Dog mix who made his way up from Texas in September 2025 and is slowly learning that life can be pretty good. He is a very shy and skittish boy when meeting new people, so patience and a gentle approach are essential. While he may never be the life of the party, Cobre is deeply content with the people he knows and trusts, and once you’re in his circle, his loyalty truly shines. Cobre is fully crate trained and happily sleeps in his kennel at night and relaxes there when his foster mom is away. He’s also fully potty trained and does great living with other animals—he currently shares his home with another dog, two cats, and even a duck! He especially adores his foster dog sister and follows her everywhere. While another dog isn’t required in his future home, having a canine buddy could help him feel more confident as he settles in. He is gentle and playful with the cats, enjoys carrying toys around (and enthusiastically “deconstructing” them), and loves spending time outdoors running and playing in the yard when the weather is nice. Cobre enjoys going for walks and rides very well in the car, though he can get a bit carsick at times. Like many smart, curious pups, Cobre is still working on his basic manners. He’s treat-motivated, sits nicely for snacks, and learns quickly, which will make continued training a rewarding experience. He does need supervision, as he may chew on items like shoes or blankets if left unattended—and he’s a bit of a counter surfer, so food should stay safely out of reach. At the end of the day, Cobre enjoys wandering, playing, and then settling in on the couch when it’s time to relax. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you on peaceful walks and quiet cuddle sessions, Cobre might just be your perfect companion.
