ZIP - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 295.00. Meet Zip! Zip is a beautiful, fluffy red heeler looking for his forever home. He is 1 and a half years old and about 32 lbs. He is a friendly, medium energy boy who loves to play with toys and be around his people. He loves a good cuddle on the couch and has the most adorable wigglebutt when he's happy to see you. Zip is dog friendly with proper introductions but can sometimes go into herding mode during play, so he will need tolerant play mates and an adopter who has experience with cattle dogs. He responds well to correction and just needs structure and guidance to know what is and isn't acceptable play behavior. He will do best in a home without young children, but would be fine with children over 10 years old. Zip goes in his crate on command and doesn't have any accidents or separation anxiety, but he could still use a little bit of help when it comes to potty training since he likely lived outdoors prior to coming to POLAR. He rides well in the car and is great for all things grooming. He will need regular brushing to maintain his longer coat and shaving of his paw pads if you have hardwood floors, or else he turns into a very ungraceful ice skater when he's trying to walk around inside. If you're interested in meeting Zip to see if he might be a good fit for your household, start by submitting an adoption application here: .pawsofloverescue/adoption-application Zip is currently being fostered in Midlothian, Texas. A meet and greet with all existing dogs and members of the family will be required prior to adoption to ensure the best fit. Please share to help Zip find his family! Applications can be found online at .pawsofloverescue, under the adopt tab. We require an approved application before a meet and greet is set up.
