About Cayden

Hi, I'm Cayden, a 5-year-old, 42 lb Australian Shepherd with luxurious hair, soulful eyes, and a deep love for my people. When we meet, I'll roll over and let you rub my belly – that's how you know we're officially friends!

I'm a chill guy who likes to see new places with my people and spend time together. I have a great "off switch," meaning I'm perfectly happy being home and hanging out and don't need to train for a marathon. Walking around the neighborhood is my idea of a good time – all those smells! I also enjoy activities like car rides, pontoon adventures, and quality cuddle sessions.

I am cuddly, calm, thoughtful, and just a tiny bit clumsy. Hardwood floors and I are currently in negotiations (sometimes my feet go one direction while the rest of me goes another!). I'm friendly with new people and dogs. I could live with another low-key pooch or be the only dog in my home. My foster family thinks cats would be okay for me.

Honesty is important in any relationship. You should know that I get distracted by things like fast-moving bikes, rollerblades, or very energetic dogs. I may need help managing my big feelings about all that movement. If you are observant, patient, and understand herding breeds, we'll do great together.

Ideal Home

My dream match is a quiet home with a homebody who has a kind heart, no young kids, and lots of love to give. I don't need a huge yard or nonstop entertainment; I just want my person.

Ongoing Health

Cayden had a balloon angioplasty on June 16 to help his heart work more efficiently and came through the procedure like a champ!

Training & Support

I can get distracted by fast-moving objects or energetic dogs and may need help managing my feelings about them. Patience and understanding of herding breeds will help us succeed together.
