Orinda is a smart, loyal, and loving Basenji/Australian Cattle Dog mix seeking a patient home. She enjoys short play sessions followed by relaxation and is housetrained and crate-trained. While great with dogs in public, she can be protective at home, so proper introductions are vital. Orinda thrives with a strong leader, learns quickly despite a stubborn streak, and has a prey drive, so no cats or small critters. She would prefer a home without small children.
