Ren is your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

He herds.

Ren is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 3-1/2 year old, 52 pound, male, Australian Cattle Dog mix.

Australian Cattle Dogs are herding dogs. That doesn’t mean Ren will want to herd you, but it does mean he will keep a close eye on all of his family members so they don’t go somewhere they shouldn’t be.

Ren doesn’t care for loud noises or fast moving things like bicycles, scooters or joggers. When he goes on a walk, Ren will ignore almost anything if he finds out that you have a little bite of chicken as a reward.

When you get home after your walk or hike, Ren will want to sit on the couch with you and snuggle.

The $145 adoption fee for Ren includes medical exams, vaccinations, neuter, and registered microchip. For more information call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, or log on to SDpets.org. Kennels and Cattery open 11 AM to 5 PM every day but Tuesday.
