FRECKLES - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 300.. Meet FRECKLES, an adorable young mixed breed pup looking for a home. Officially he's listed as an Australian Cattle Dog (Blue heeler) mix. We think he looks an awful lot like a "Cowboy Corgi" -- a "designer" blue heeler/corgi mixed breed dog. He doesn't have heeler ears, his ears are very corgi-like. Of course there may be a few more breeds mixed in. Freckles is still a pup at 10 months old and currently 20 pounds. If he's not fully grown, he's very nearly so. Freckles is a timid boy who seeks out the companionship of other dogs. So far he's a low key guy, but heelers are active dogs so once he gains confidence, he may blossom into a higher energy dog. Freckles needs a home with another friendly, playful dog and a physically fenced yard. His cat test was inconclusive -- he's so timid he wouldn't even look at the kitty. If you'd like to meet Freckles, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Freckles at our weekly adoption event, Saturday noon-2 at PetSmart Eastgate if he's still available. All of our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoption fee covers the dog’s veterinary care, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip, deworming, flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention and any other needed veterinary care. A deposit is required to take a dog home for a trial period. The deposit will be applied to the dog’s final adoption fee.
