About Noa
🐾 NOA
Playful | Confident | Full of Personality
If you’re looking for a pup who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and steal your heart in the process — Noa is your boy. Playful, funny and full of life, he’s the kind of pup who throws himself into everything with enthusiasm and brings a joyful energy wherever he goes.
Noa 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.
Noa is a confident, outgoing pup with a big personality. He is not shy at all — he is the one leading the charge, keen to explore, engage and be right in the middle of whatever is happening.
He is energetic and playful and thrives on interaction, making him well suited to an active home that will embrace his zest for life.
Foster mum says he gets along beautifully with older dogs, and he would likely benefit from having a calm, friendly canine companion to learn from and play with.
Like his siblings, Noa has all the wonderful traits of his breed mix — intelligent, loyal and people-focused — and will benefit from guidance, routine and inclusion as he grows into a well-rounded adult dog.
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 Noa’s likely adult size.
Noa has the naturally short “stumpy” tail often seen in Australian Cattle Dogs. It is a genetic trait (not docked) and comes with a few practical advantages — less risk of injury, less chance of damage from an enthusiastic wag, and less maintenance overall. Most importantly, it is simply part of who he is, and adds to his unique character and charm.
🏡 Ideal home
✓ Secure, good fencing is essential
✓ An active home that enjoys play and interaction
✓ Someone who will include him in daily life
✓ Another friendly, steady dog would be a great match
Noa will be adopted through ARK’s deferred desexing program, with his adoption fee including the cost of desexing when he is old enough (terms and conditions apply).
