Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat).
Meet Cupid â The King of Side Eye and Second Chances!
Cupid may be named after the god of love, but his real talent is stealing hearts with his hilarious personality and legendary side-eye! This handsome 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog is 54 pounds of intelligence, loyalty, playful energy, and just the right amount of sass! Cupid is a clever boy who loves putting his working-dog brain to good use. Whether itâs solving enrichment puzzles, learning new tricks, or heading out for a walk, heâs always ready for his next adventure.
Heâs treat-motivated, knows basic commands like âsitâ, âstayâ, shakeâ and âtouchâ, walks nicely on leash, and is house-broken. When it comes to canine companions, Cupid prefers female dogs with a similar energy level but has done well with a small female dog and respectful males in the past. During his time in a foster home, Cupid worked on his manners around cats. He was an excellent houseguest, and his foster shared that he learns quickly; this means that Cupid has the potential to live with cats.
When you first meet Cupid, he may need some time to feel comfortable. It might take a day or a week, but once he trusts you, he will become a loyal friend who greets you in the morning with sweet kisses and adorable little hops. The way to his heart is through delicious treats, space, and patience.
