Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: NC Say hello to Theodore or Theo for short! Theo was brought into a local overcrowded shelter with 2 other cattle dog housemates. Theo is estimated to be about 2 yrs old, and once he settles into the routine he’s the goofiest little guy. Theo loves having playmates, he's currently living with 2 other cattle dogs and a chihuahua. He seems to be curious but neutral with the 3 cats in the home, though they have only had supervised time and stay in separate parts of the home majority of the time. Though he can be a little shy at first, he quickly warms up and just wants to play with his toys. Balls are life, but a good plush toy can also do the trick if needed. Theo is housetrained and goes into his kennel with no issues over night and when his foster parents go to work. Theo is a medium energy cattle dog, a good walk or play session is enjoyable but he easily settles in the house with his toys to chew on or to follow you from room to room in typical cattle dog fashion. He does well on a leash with minimal pulling and he’s very polite at meal time, sitting patiently until you set his bowl down. He doesn’t know many other cues yet, but with some consistent training he’s quickly picking them up. Theo is looking for a home, ideally with another playmate, however he could be an only dog in an active home. Theo can go to a home with older kids, as he does like to jump on occasion. Theo is up to date on vaccines, fixed, heartworm negative, and on monthly preventions. He is located in Durham, NC but will consider neighboring states as long as potential adopter is committed to the drive to meet him. Theo can and will jump baby gates and exercise pens (even 48” tall) in the house when he wants to follow you or thinks that being confined is above him (when he doesn’t get to join every walk!) He has no issues in the kennel Please contact griffinbri91gmail. Complete an Application: .acdra/adoption-application

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.
