Meet Tofu!
Tofu is a thoughtful seven-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with a handsome blue mottled coat and a loyal heart. This 49-pound boy forms deep bonds with his trusted humans and thrives in a calm, predictable, and secure environment. Once you're part of his inner circle, Tofu will be your shadow, happy to relax beside you on the couch, join you in the garden, or embark on an outdoor adventure. He's exceptionally smart and enjoys having a job to do, having completed formal training and knowing commands like sit, down, place, roll, heel, come, shake, and high five. Tofu responds beautifully to structure and clear guidance from a confident caregiver. He finds joy in chew toys and is an excellent hiking, walking, and running companion.
Ideal Home
Tofu is seeking a calm, adult-only home with experienced pet parents who understand anxious or reactive dogs and are committed to positive reinforcement. He is not comfortable around children and should live in a home without them, as their unpredictability can increase his anxiety. Tofu can be cautious around unfamiliar people and prefers slow, structured introductions. He has a history of fear-based nips when strangers have attempted to make direct eye contact or pet him before he felt comfortable, but he consistently gives warning signs beforehand.
