Hardy

Description

Location: Cedar Bluff, AL   Hardy is a three-year-old cattle dog mix with a heart of gold. For a younger male cattle dog, he's refreshingly laid-back. He's equally happy to go on an adventure or curl up for a couch session. He's food motivated and a quick learner, which makes training fun and rewarding. Hardy has been working hard on his manners and leash training and is making great progress every day. He aims to please! While Hardy is a bit of a ladies' man, he can be a little shy with new men at first. He warms up to men quickly, however, with patient and gentle introductions. He's happily navigated breweries, farmers markets, and city streets and won over plenty of new friends along the way.  He's currently hanging out with a lot of canine friends, both male and female and does very well with all of them except for one dominant male.  He doesn't like the pushy male dogs but as you can see in the videos plays well with all of the others in a play group.   Hardy is still getting the hang of crate training. He'd always prefer to be with his person, but he's learning to settle in and relax and getting better with time. Hardy would thrive in a breed-savvy home without young children or cats. If you're looking for a loyal, snuggly, adventure-ready companion who's still growing into his best self, Hardy might just be your guy. Hardy is neutered and up to date on all shots and preventatives.  Hardy is currently hanging out in Cedar Bluff AL but please don't let distance deter you as we can help with transport arrangements.  If you have any questions about Hardy or would like more information email mrulffes@gmail.com Complete an Application: https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application
