Will You Help Foster Find a Home on the Cape?

This handsome fella is Foster, a 10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog on the hunt for his next home! Foster is an absolute pro when it comes to walking on leash, and would make a great companion for a hiker or a fan of the great outdoors. He’s happy to romp around and get silly in the yard with his friends, but is also a big fan of settling down for some quality couch time while you catch up on all your favorite shows. Foster is doing great with his training (he’s got crate training and house training in the bag), but he can get a little jumpy when excited!
