Breed: Mixed breed, Mastiff x Bull Arab (mum) x Cattle Dog (dad)

About Aurora:
AURORA is a delightful, laid back little girl with a striking red roan coat, courtesy of her Cattle Dog dad. She loves exploring her surroundings, playing gently with her littermates, and cuddling with people she knows. Friendly, affectionate and easy-going, she is sure to win hearts wherever she goes.
Her mum, Xena (Mastiff x Bull Arab), is a calm, gentle, and affectionate family dog who is fantastic with children. AURORA has inherited the gentle, affectionate nature of her Mastiff/Bull Arab mum and the intelligence and spirited energy of her Cattle Dog dad, making her a clever, playful, and loving companion.
What Aurora Needs:
AURORA will thrive in a home that treats her as an integral part of the family. She will need secure fencing to keep her safe, indoor privileges to enjoy family life, and humans who can offer gentle guidance and consistency as she grows through puppyhood. Plenty of love, attention, and interaction will help her develop into the wonderful dog she is destined to be. She would suit a family, a couple, or an individual looking for a devoted companion.
Availability:
AURORA will be ready for her forever home from 7 January 2026. She is also available for interstate adoption via road transport; we are happy to assist with arrangements.
Desexing:
AURORA is offered for adoption under the terms of our Deferred Desexing Program. This means she can go to her new home undesexed, but her family must agree to strict conditions regarding preventing breeding and ensuring she is desexed at an agreed and appropriate time. Her adoption fee covers the cost of her desexing, subject to our terms and conditions.
