About Magdelena (Australian cattle dog/blue heeler) in Oakland

Magdelena is waiting for you at Oakland Animal Services in United States. At 5 years old and 51 pounds, this cattle dog/husky mix is a refreshing surprise. Instead of high-octane energy, Magdelena brings a peaceful presence wherever she goes. She walks beautifully on leash, no pulling, no fuss. She’s wonderfully polite in public, neutral around other dogs, and has charmed everyone from busy adoption event crowds to TV studio staff with her steady, composed demeanor. In her temporary foster home, she’s been easygoing and adaptable. She’s the kind of dog who’s just as happy strolling the neighborhood as she is lounging by your side. While she may be a little aloof at first, she has a soulful way of connecting with her people and will shadow you around the house. She’s incredibly gentle and loves scritches. She’s currently recovering from a treatable UTI, which may be affecting her potty routine, but she’s already showing good instincts like signaling when she needs to go out. Magdelena could thrive as a solo dog or with a respectful canine companion who appreciates her space. Whether you’re a peaceful homebody or someone who enjoys chill adventures, Magdelena is waiting to meet you.
