Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Terrier / Mixed. His boots were made for walking, so Boots wandered as a stray until he found his way into a shelter and now to Connecticut to end his wandering ways and walk his way into a forever home. Boots is an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mixed breed, who sports a short black and white coat. He weighs 38 pounds, and it is estimated he will be a medium sized dog (31-60 pounds) if he does a bit more growing. No amount of adventure, exercise and play will be too much for Boots, as he has loads of puppy energy and a spirit for discovery. Dogs and children will be great companions for Boots whether he is exploring new worlds or making new friends. It is not known whether Boots will extend his sweet temperament to cats. Boots is learning that being a good boy in a forever home means learning his manners and he is hard at work absorbing and obeying house, leash, and crate rules. Making training fun with positive reinforcement and some delicious treats will help Boots enjoy etiquette lessons. Rescue dogs have experienced several transitions and will have accidents as they become comfortable in their new home. If crate training is planned, Boots requires a crate that is big enough for him to turn around, stand in and lie down. Crates need to be warm welcoming places and must never be used for punishment. Toss a ball, fling a frisbee, go hiking, whatever games and adventures you can dream up, Boots will be right there with high spirits to make every day an adventure. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Boots 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.
