Hi there! I am a one year old male beagle/Australian cattle dog mix, and I weigh about 13 pounds. They named me "All American Sport" here at Wayside Waifs, but you can call me "Sport" for short. I'm from the Grandview area - at least that's where they found me - on the streets, wandering alone looking for someone to take me in and love me. You see, I've never had a home - at least that I can remember. I was a stray until the good folks at Wayside Waifs took me in and thought I deserved a second chance to find a loving human companion. They say I would do best in a single person's home with no other pets or a young couple's home with no children or other pets. I am blind in the right eye. I don't know what happened, but it is probably due to an injury that was left untreated. The nice vets here looked at it and said the eye does not appear to be painful, so no treatment is required right now. My new owners might want to "keep an eye on it" though, should any changes occur. (I'm so cleaver with words! ) Being blind in one eye doesn't mean I'm not smart and energetic. I am!! And I can be trained to follow commands if you would like. In fact, my breed is ranked 10th among breeds in obedience command trainability. Wouldn't it be fun if you were my trainer and my companion! What good times we would have! The cattle dog is a herding dog, bred in Australia to help with cattle round ups. We are hard workers and quick to learn new tasks. We do best with plenty of exercise, companionship and a job to do. But we like to participate in dog sports too! At home we make happy, affectionate and playful pets. However, we are reserved with people we don't know and naturally cautious in new situations. This makes me an excellent choice as a guard dog when trained for the job. I know you would be happy with a smart, energetic dog like me who is fully house broken by the way. It's gonna take a good person to love me and make me feel that I belong to someone. After all, isn't that what we all want! Please come by and visit me; give me that second chance! You will be so glad you did! See you soon! Your friend & companion, All American Sport "Sport"
