In the shelter’s words

Meet Sheila (AKA Rowan)! Rowan is an adorable Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighs about 38 pounds. She came to us at the beginning of September as an 8-month-old pup from a local shelter, where she was named Sheila. Her foster family has gotten to know her as Rowan, and it seems to fit her personality perfectly! We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to bring this sweet girl into our rescue. She has truly been quite a catch, and we have no doubt she’s going to make an amazing companion for a very lucky family. Rowan is a complete lovebug with a happy, joyful personality. She loves people and is thriving in her foster home, where she lives happily with a male dog. She loves to play and enjoys having a canine friend to romp around with. She has also had an introduction to a cat and showed very little reaction, which was a great start! She also seems very interested in meeting children—in fact, when she sees kids outside the window, she watches them with a wagging tail and sometimes even whines because she wants to say hello! Rowan is doing wonderfully with her training. She already knows quite a bit and is eager to listen and learn. She’s also doing remarkably well with crate training. Rowan is still learning that her crate is a great place to relax, and she settles very nicely once she’s in it. She does especially well with crate time while her foster family is away, even for several hours. Rowan is a gentle girl, too. She takes food and toys gently and is very comfortable being handled all over. Her foster family can touch her, pick her up when needed, and even take something from her mouth without a fuss. She’s curious about the world around her, but so far her puppy curiosity is mostly focused on the important things in life: food and toys! Like any young dog, Rowan is still learning and has plenty of growing and learning ahead of her, but she’s off to a fantastic start. She’s affectionate, playful, happy, social, curious, and eager to please—and we think she has all the makings of an absolutely wonderful family dog. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving young dog who will happily be your new best friend, Rowan may just be your girl!
