Hi, I'm Rooster. I'm a loveable and affectionate Cattle x and arrived from a Country pound on 18th August, 2018. I was a very shy and timid boy when I arrived there and after a month, was wagging my tail and greeting the staff at the shelter. I went a bit backward when I arrived at Sutherland, wanting to sleep amongst the hedges and hardly coming out, however 6 days on I have come out of my shell again and am romping around the back yard and now spend most of my time on the alfresco, either on the banana lounge or in one of my 2 beds.

I am sharing my carer with two other dogs, a 12 year old cattle x corgi and a 15 year old fox terrier x chihuahua who walk under me if I stand still long enough. Being older, they don't play as much as I would like, however I am an independent guy and enjoy company, or my own.

My foster carer bought me a teddy bear which is my favourite toy. I also love her hand-towel and a Kong which is full of treats. I enjoy a varied diet and have the most beautiful teeth.

Due to my timidness, I haven't been heartworm tested, vaccinated or desexed yet. My foster carer must earn my trust in order to take me to the vet, which is slowly happening. As I said, I've come a long way so far. So if you would like to meet me, I'd be thrilled to meet you and hopefully find my furever home.

Rooster will thrive in a special understanding household who will give him the initial space he needs to open up.
