Zane needs a foster carer
About Zane
🐾 ZANE
Calm | Gentle | Easygoing
Zane is one of eleven beautiful Cattle Dog cross puppies looking for homes. Born on 19 February 2026, he is ready to join his new family now.
While some pups are busy taking on the world, Zane is a little different. He’s a calm, placid boy who is happy to just take things as they come. He hardly ever barks, doesn’t demand attention, and has a lovely quiet presence about him.
Foster mum describes him as a pup who is simply content to just be — the kind of dog who will fit easily into a relaxed home and bring a sense of calm with him.
Zane still has all the wonderful traits of his breed mix — intelligent, loyal and people-focused — but without the intensity. He would be particularly well suited to someone who is looking for a more easygoing companion rather than a high-energy pup.
His mum is a Blue Cattle Dog, and his dad is a mixed breed, likely including English Staffy and Blue Cattle Dog. Dad is an average-sized dog, no bigger than mum, which gives a good indication of Zane’s likely adult size.
With the right guidance and inclusion, Zane will grow into a devoted, steady and affectionate companion.
🏡 Ideal home
