Meet Pecan 🩵🐾

Pecan is a stunning 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with gorgeous merle colouring, beautiful blue eyes and a personality that may surprise you if you're expecting the typical always-on Cattle Dog.

Because this girl? She wants to be in your lap.

Pecan is described as a sweet, happy girl who loves being close to her people. She's curious about her surroundings and interested in what's happening around her, but she's also incredibly affectionate and seems happiest when she can stay close to someone she trusts.

At 40 pounds, she may not technically be lap-dog sized, but apparently nobody has explained that to Pecan yet.

She's also been wonderful with other dogs. Her dog-to-dog assessment describes her as soft, social and gentle, with a gentle/dainty interaction style. She came into the shelter with another dog, so she's already accustomed to canine companionship.

Pecan also walks great on leash, does well in her kennel and showed no food aggression during her assessment. She can be a little whiny at times, but overall she's been described as a very sweet and happy girl.

As an Australian Cattle Dog mix, Pecan comes from a breed famous for being exceptionally intelligent, loyal, observant and devoted to their people. Cattle Dogs were bred to work closely alongside humans and often form incredibly strong bonds with the people they consider their family.

They also tend to thrive when their intelligent minds have something to do. Training, sniffing walks, enrichment, games and adventures can all be wonderful ways to keep a Cattle Dog brain happy. And while the breed is often associated with high energy, individual dogs vary - and Pecan is already showing us that she has a wonderfully affectionate, softer side.

Pecan is vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. She is not currently spayed.

She really seems to have such a beautiful combination of traits - smart and curious, yet soft and affectionate. Social with dogs, but deeply interested in being close to her person.

If you're looking for a beautiful, intelligent dog who will happily explore the world with you and then attempt to fit all 40 pounds of herself directly into your lap, Pecan may be your girl. 🩵🐾
