Kayla the Cattle Girl!

3/22/2014

UPDATE: 3/23/14 - Kayla Cattle Girl has a foster home! She will be leaving the shelter very soon. Once she has had a chance to destress, she will be available for adoption through St. Francis APS!

We don't know her story.

She was found on the streets in south San Jose and brought to the shelter.

This beautiful Australian Cattle Dog mix is a little too frightened in an unfamiliar shelter environment. For now we are naming her 'Kayla the Cattle Girl'.

Kayla is about 4 years old and weighs 63 lbs. While she cowers in fear in her noisy kennel, once she is led out to the play area, her true personality starts to show. 

She's interested in other dogs and people passing by; she solicits attention from people (and slips in a kiss or two). If she gets a chance, she will take a sneak peek into the window of the cat house.

Because of her fear while in the kennel, Kayla the Cattle Girl is at risk. 

Once she is in a caring home, we know she will have a chance to blossom! She needs a temporary or permanent home immediately.

Can you give Kayla that chance? Fill out our foster application here.

Cattle dogs are known for their intelligence and high energy; Kayla will need regular exercise. You can find out more about this breed here.

Have you tried contacting Norcal herding breed/cattle dog rescues to see if they have space/foster home to take Kayla, so she gets out of the shelter and into a home environment ??
Ie. Central Coast Australian Cattle Dog Rescue (San Luis Obispo) or Herd it Through the Grape Vine (Santa Rosa). They are outside the Bay Area but could be better suited to take a dog like Kayla - at least temporarily to help her decompress from the shelter and make her more adoptable. Also the type of adopters they get (perhaps some from more rural areas with some land) could be better suited to a cattledog than many Bay Area adopters that are gone to work longer hours and often rely a lot on dog parks etc for "exercising" their dog. Just some thoughts...Good luck and hopefully Kayla is in a loving home soon!!

Oops, sorry correction to my previous comment - the rescue is called Central Coast Herding Dog Rescue in San Luis Obispo.
