About Dolly🌺8 month, cattle dog x (On Trial 4/11/25)
Miss Dolly is a confident and playful 8 month old, cattle dog x bull terrier. She likes playing with the other dogs she lives with and can also entertain herself by exploring the yard, inventing her own games, and playing with toys. She enjoys bursts of zoomies and fetch. She'd be an awesome running mate for an active person or family.
She loves being with people and adores snuggling, especially in the evenings.
Dolly has good basic training—she knows how to sit, stay, wait, and comes when called. Her food motivation makes her a quick and eager learner. She will let you know when visitors arrive with a proud bark but isn’t a nuisance barker.
She’s fully house trained, uses a doggie door and travels well in the car. She’d love to join you for outings and adventures. Her favourite place is the dog beach where she really stretch her legs.
Dolly doesn't like to be approached by other dogs when walking on lead but likes the dogs she lives with. She is very people oriented and bonds deeply with her humans.
Dolly’s ideal home would include:
🐾 Affection and inclusion – She is happiest when she’s included in daily life and activities, both indoors and out. She loves closeness, a good snuggle and being part of the action. She thrives with human interaction.
🐕 She can be an only dog or live with other active dogs.
🎓 Ongoing training – She’s doing well and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. Her love of treats makes training fun and effective. Our qualified dog trainer is happy to assist you.
🎾 Play and enrichment – Dolly enjoys fetch, yard games, and playing with other dogs. She needs a daily walk or run.
🚗 Adventures and outings – Dolly is great in the car and ready to join you wherever you go.
🏡 Being allowed indoors to enjoy family life – She’s house trained and well behaved indoors.
If you're looking for a clever, cuddly, and confident pup to grow with your family, Dolly might just be your perfect match.
Dolly is medium sized. Her mother is a cattle dog mix and dad was possibly a bull terrier mix. She is available for adoption in NSW and ACT.
Dolly’s adoption fee is $700. She is microchipped, registered, desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas, ticks and worms. She is in foster care in Dudley, NSW (Lake Macquarie, near Charlestown).
