HomestoriesARK animal of the week

ARK animal of the week

Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption.

This week we’re highlighting MAJOR.

Age: 6 months

Adoption fee: $750

About

Please meet Major, a very handsome Australian Blue Cattle Dog pup, looking for a safe and loving forever home.

Major is a fine example of a young blue dog.

His body is compact, well-muscled, and symmetrical and he has a beautifully shaped head with intense, watchful eyes.

His blue double coat, single eye patch, and tan highlights contribute to a very handsome package.

Clever, energetic and playful, he loves the company of humans and hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t love.

However, he is untested with cats.

We estimate that Major was born in December 2021.

He currently weighs 15kg and he will be a good-sized blue dog at maturity.

Blue dogs tend to be thoughtful, eager to please, and extremely loyal.

Wherever their humans are, that’s where they want to be too – whether that’s out in a boat, in the back of a car, going for a walk or a run, or just watching television in the evening.

To be happy and content, Major will need regular daily exercise and mental stimulation.

As always, secure fencing is a must.

Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and/or there is another compatible dog for Major to play with.

Previous breed experience will be highly regarded.

If you are interested in meeting this lovely pup and can offer him a suitable, safe and loving forever home, please complete the online adoption application on ARK’s website and one of our volunteers will be in touch.

Major’s adoption fee is $750 and he is desexed, chipped and vaccinated.

He is available for interstate adoption.
