Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Jeni — quite possibly the prettiest “perfect medium mutt” you’ll ever meet.

At about 3 years old and 45 pounds, Jeni is that just-right size with an even better personality. Our best guess is a mix of cattle dog, lab, and maybe a little staffy—but whatever she is, she’s something special.

Jeni is smart, sensitive, and has a gentle, old-soul energy. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention but quietly becomes your favorite companion. She’s easygoing and continues to decompress and blossom more each day in foster care.

She’s doing wonderfully with house and crate training, is dog and cat friendly, and would likely do best with children past the toddler stage who can respect her calm nature.

Jeni enjoys her walks, rides great in the car, and is always up for an adventure—but she’s just as happy to curl up next to you for a cuddle session if you let her.

Her ideal home would include a yard, an active lifestyle, and a committed adopter who will continue her training, exercise, and socialization. She’s the kind of dog who will truly thrive with consistency and love.

If you’re looking for a loyal, steady, and quietly affectionate companion, Jeni may be your girl.
Adoption fee is 200
