Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Pasadena, California

Say hello to
Spot,
a 1-year-old Cattle Dog mix with a big, sturdy build and the most eye-catching “cookies and cream” coat - velvety white splashed with grey and black, plus an adorable spot right over one eye! Though he was surrendered for alleged aggression toward other animals, we haven’t seen that at all - instead, we think this smart boy was just showing natural herding behaviors typical of his breed. At the shelter, Spot has been nothing but sweet and loving, even if he’s a little timid at first and could use some confidence building. Once he feels safe, he eagerly seeks out affection, handing out kisses and leaning in close to his favorite people. He’s shown polite curiosity around other dogs (even offering a cute play bow to a smaller pup!), though he may try to “herd” his friends from time to time. With the right structure, guidance, and outlets for his energy, Spot is sure to grow into an incredible, loyal family companion!

-1 year 2 month old white and black cattle dog mix

-86.5 pound neutered male

-may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before he can go home with you, but the shelter can likely help with this!

-came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 2/28/26 as an owner surrender due to alleged “aggression towards animals,” but we’ve seen zero sign of this and suspect it may be natural, not harmful “herding” behavior, like a cattle dog would do to keep cows or other livestock safe and together

-super affectionate - big kissy boy that will lean in for all the loving once he feels safe
