Sara

3/9/11 Update: Sara was adopted!  Yay!!!!!!

Sara...with a little Australian flavor!  And, one of my good friends (and bridesmaids) is named Sarah and lived in Australia for several years after college.  Perfect!

G'day, mate!  I'm Sara, a 5-year young 50lb Australian Cattle Dog mix.  My family brought me to MaxFund because I wasn't a good fit for their family.  I'm still trying to make sense of it all, but I'm an optimistic sheila (that's what they call us young gals in Australia!) and I'm actively searching for my Forever Family.

Australian Cattle Dogs are working dogs - we were born and bred to herd.  Because of this, I will probably flourish in an active home that has time to really appreciate just how intelligent and faithful I am.  Being active is especially important to me as I need to shed a few pounds in 2011!  Living with small children probably isn't a good idea for me as the lil' blokes don't seem to appreciate my special cattle dog talents.  I find this rather ironic as, in Australia, we often refer to children as ankle biters!  Oh well...I'll just have to find a family without any ankle biters on the loose!  I lived with cats my entire life and we got along just fine - it's no fun to herd anything that can simply jump out of my way.  Playing with dogs and people is fun - I especially enjoy playing "fetch" and playing with any stuffed toys.  I am housetrained and know basic obedience commands.  Seems that I'll just fit right into your home, eh?

I sure hope you can find the time to come visit with me.  I'm waiting!  Until then...Hooroo (that's slang for goodbye in Australia!)
