Published on Fri, Sep 18, 2026
If you’re looking for a handsome companion, Long Beach Animal Care Services has just the guy for you. Meet Swayze, a 1-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who is ready to steal your heart!
Swayze is a big, playful boy weighing in at 68 pounds, with gorgeous golden eyes, an adorable pair of floppy ears and an irresistible face. This young pup with frenetic feet is curious, smart and always ready for his next adventure.
This pup loves treats and plush toys, and he’s always eager to see what fun might be waiting around the corner. He may be slightly hesitant when it comes to getting into the car, but once he’s buckled in and on his way, he settles down and enjoys the ride.
Give him a little patience, some encouragement and a loving home, and this handsome boy could be the perfect leading man.
