STARLA

Say hello to Starla, a 7-month-old female Australian Cattle Dog who came to the shelter as a stray and is now looking for a home where she can truly shine. This young pup is full of personality, energy, and curiosity, the verything you’d expect from a smart working breed puppy! Starla is friendly and tolerant of handling, allowing staff to pet her all over from head to tail. She’s an affectionate girl who enjoys attention, but she’s also got that classic cattle dog enthusiasm. Starla has a playful, energetic spirit and isn’t shy about expressing herself; she can be a bit vocal, sometimes with a high-pitched “chatty” bark when she’s excited.Like many young dogs, Starla hasn’t had much formal training yet. She’ll need a home that’s ready to guide her with basic obedience training and continued socialization so she can grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. She does have some typical puppy habits—she likes to jump up and can be a bit mouthy during play, so a home without very small children may be the best fit. When meeting another dog, Starla showed interest in playing. Because every dog is different, a dog-to-dog meet is recommended to make sure everyone gets along. As a young Australian Cattle Dog, Starla will thrive in an active, experienced home that understands the needs of this intelligent and energetic breed. If you’re an active household familiar with the cattle dog breed and looking for a fun, spirited young companion to train, explore, and grow with, Starla may be your perfect match.
