Catalina is a kiss hoarder—she holds onto them like precious treasures until she decides you're worthy, and then she shares them generously! This young Cattle Dog is a little timid when first meeting new people, but don't let that shy start fool you. Once she warms up, she transforms into a professional belly rub enthusiast with advanced certification in affection distribution.
At 33 pounds, Catalina is the perfect medium size, and every single pound is packed full of love. She's got that classic Cattle Dog intelligence and loyalty, wrapped up in a slightly more cautious package than your typical hard-charging herding breed. She needs a minute to assess the situation, make sure you're trustworthy, and then she's all in. Catalina is looking for someone patient enough to let her warm up at her own pace. Once she does, you'll be rewarded with kisses, belly rub requests, and the kind of devotion that only a Cattle Dog can give. She's smart, she's sweet, and she's ready to find her person—someone who understands that the best relationships are built on trust and earned over time. If you're looking for a medium-sized companion with a heart full of love (and a belly that desperately needs rubbing), Catalina is ready to slowly but surely steal your heart!

Ongoing Health
All dogs are examined by our veterinarian and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions.
Training & Support
When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected.
