WOODRUFF - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Australian Shepherd / Mixed. Hello! My name is "Woodruff" - my foster parents call me "Walter" because Mama Sarah says I look like a Walter Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that even though I look like a "Walter" - apparently I'm a "hoot and a half" - whatever that is? Mama Sarah says I have personality for days, and am one of the best behaved puppies she's ever let stay at her house! I only go potty outside, and I like to sleep in my fluffy bed in my kennel when asked to. I really enjoy running zoomies with complete abandon, the wind through my ears fuels me on! My foster brother, Auletes, and I play all the time! We play chase, tug, chew sharing, and WWE wrestling. Auletes is 4x my size, but that doesn't stop me from chasing him and tackling him. He's very gentle with me, but I still show him how tough I can be when we play! There are 4 other dogs that live here with Mama Sarah, they're all nice to me, but they're not interested in playing. They are teaching me "boundaries" like: not jumping on them, no wrestling on the couch, no playing bitey ears when we're out for a walk, and most importantly - personal space. I can be quite the snuggler, but I'm learning to respect personal bubbles. There's also, like, a bunch of cats that live here - some inside, some outside. I'm not really interested in them. When they run I play zoomie with them, but I don't actually want to catch them, just play. Mama Sarah says that's fine as long as I remember to be nice if they don't want to wrestle after zooming. I listen pretty good for a tiny pup (I'm only ~15# at 4 months old) who had no official training before getting here. I don't really know many commands yet, Mama Sarah says she likes to give young puppies who start out really shy time to build their confidence and play before going to "school" - she says I respond so well to my name it won't take me long to learn other English words. Maybe I'll ask her if I can start school this week like the human children are? Speaking of snuggling, we've just had dinner and some play time, so I'm going to run a short zoomie route from the dining room to the couch and land on Mama Sarah to let her know it's time for my evening nap. While I'm resting (recharging for the next round of zoomies, etc) it would be super cool if you shared my story so my Furever Family can find me! Thanks!
