Cattle Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Cider is a sweet, young, medium-sized girl (around 40 lbs) with a loving heart and a playful spark. While she plays beautifully with other dogs and makes a fantastic canine playmate, what she really wants is her person.

Cider loves people. She lights up when she gets one on one attention and would happily choose a game of fetch with you over just about anything else. Toss the ball and she's all in! Focused, enthusiastic, and ready to bring it right back for more. When playtime is over, she's just as happy to curl up close and soak in the snuggles.

She does well on leash, has great recall (hello, hiking and camping buddy!!), and is very smart! Motivated by both food and toys, she thrives on connection and loves having a job to do.

Cider enjoys dog friends, but her heart belongs to her human. She's the kind of dog who bonds deeply, looks to you for direction, and wants to be your teammate in everything. If you're searching for a loyal, affectionate, adventure-ready companion who will choose you every time, Cider is waiting!Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas.

The Cattle Dog is a diligent and robust herding breed known for its agility, intelligence, and hardworking nature. Originating in Australia, Cattle Dogs are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. With their remarkable problem solving skills and unwavering loyalty, they excel in various canine activities and make excellent companions for active owners. Their distinctive blue or red coat, sturdy build, and alert expression reflect their heritage as versatile working dogs.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

Big Paws of the Ozarks aims to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned big dogs in Northwest Arkansas.
