BATMAN - FREE TO ADOPT! - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $0 - WAIVED if picked up in TN Meet Batman, the playful and happy 2-year-old mixed breed pup who weighs in at 45 pounds. We think he might be part Cattle Dog, German Shepherd, and Husky. Batman is an expert at catching treats and playing tug with a dog or person. He explores his toy box several times a day to pick out a toy to take to his dog bed or out to the deck to relax. He is housetrained and quickly learned to use the dog door. He sleeps in an open crate and is well-behaved when crated with a chew toy. Batman enjoys sharing toys with other dogs, taking trail walks, chasing balls and being petted. Batman’s shy and timid but affectionate nature with people makes him a wonderful companion for an understanding person. Even though he was very scared when he was first rescued, Batman has matured and is a friendly dog who smiles a lot, showcasing his joyful spirit. Batman has never shown aggression. He seems to love every dog he meets and welcomes visitors in his foster’s home – especially if they come with a dog. He loves spending time with a 13-year-old boy who visits. He is quiet in the car, loves walking on trails and enjoys laying near his foster in the evening, usually with his head touching her leg letting her know he is ready for affection or he naps peacefully on a nearby dog bed. Batman knows several commands, including "Come," "No," "Sit," and "Wait at the door." Batman would thrive in a calm home with another playful dog, a securely fenced yard, and a dog-savvy family willing to be patient as he adjusts to his new environment. He enjoys affection, often entertains himself with toys, and is very appreciative of regular meals and a stable routine. Batman is ready to bring joy and love to a new family that can offer him the same in return. Interested? Apply to adopt today. Interested in adopting?
