Meet Kenobi

Hi, I’m Kenobi  Raleigh, NC 12 Weeks Old • Male • Australian Cattle Dog Looking for structure, leadership... and someone who can keep up! Hey there, I’m Kenobi—a smart, sassy, wiggle-powered ACD pup with BIG plans. I’m only 12 weeks old, but let me tell you, I’ve already got opinions, energy, and a serious zest for life. I was surrendered young, but I’m not sad—I'm ready for my next adventure… with someone who gets me. Here’s the deal: I love to play (dogs, people, toys—yes please!) Cat-tolerant (a bit too playful at times) I sleep quietly through the night in my crate I ride great in the car I’m confident and curious in new places BUT… I’m mouthy (hello, herding dog!) I test limits (boundaries) I need ‘em!) I need structure, routine, and training to thrive I’m not a couch potato and I’m definitely not a beginner dog. I need someone who knows cattle dogs or similar breeds—and who’s ready to guide me with patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement. No young kids for me, please… I don’t mean to nip, I just get excited and forget my manners. Give me the tools, the guidance, and the love—and I’ll grow into your loyal, brilliant best friend. Think you’ve got what it takes to help me be my best self? I’m ready when you are. Love, Kenobi  Foster MaMa Here: True to his breed, Kenobi is mouthy, confident, and go-go-go, so he’ll thrive in a home that understands the needs of a young cattle dog. He’s doing great in foster care but is ready to find his forever home that will give him the structure, boundaries, and enrichment he needs to grow into the amazing adult dog he’s meant to be. He needs much more than cuddles and toys—he needs structure, consistency, and someone committed to training. No young children, please—his mouthy puppy play style isn’t a match for little ones. Cattle dog experience preferred to help guide this spirited pup through his adolescence. If you're ready for a high-energy, intelligent companion who will keep you on your toes and steal your heart, look no further! Kenobi is packed with potential, but he won’t raise himself. In the right home, with structure and leadership, he’ll grow into an incredible companion. If you’re ready for the challenge (and reward!) of raising a driven, smart pup—Kenobi is waiting.
