Description
Posted Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Terrier / Mixed. Put on your dancing shoes, fire up the oldies tunes and party like it is the 1950s with Rizzo. This lovable, huggable 9-month-old Australian Cattle/Blue Heeler pup is eager to shake, rattle and roll her way into your heart. Rizzo and her siblings were rescued from a kill shelter before coming to DSR. Rizzo is a black and white member of the litter, with adorable spots. She is a sweet affectionate girl with plenty of energy and an appetite for treats and attention. She is still growing and it is estimated she will be a large-sized dog (over 50 pounds) when she is full grown. She is currently 38 pounds. Rizzo is simply fine hanging out with children and other dogs. It is not known currently if she enjoys cats. Rizzo is working on her house and crate training but is fully leash trained. She is very treat motivated, which will make consistent, positive reinforcement training successful. Rizzo is still a pup so accidents should be expected. If crate training is planned, she needs a crate that is big enough to stand and turn around in as well as lie down comfortably. Crates should be cozy, happy places for dogs to hang out. Never use a crate for punishment. Shine the spotlight on Rizzo, watch her spread her sparkling personality and high spirits everywhere she goes and get ready for plenty of fun and frolic with a girl ready for her happy ever after ending. The adoption fee for Rizzo is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us. If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
