Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Adoption Fee: 620. Incoming Heartthrob Alert: Meet Merle the Blue Heeler Pup! Merle isn’t just a name — it’s a whole vibe. At 12 weeks old, this cattle dog cutie is already turning heads with his big eyes, big ears, and even bigger personality. He’s whip-smart, endlessly loyal, and has just the right dash of mischief to keep life fun. Merle has already received two sets of vaccines, so he’s well on his way — he only needs one more booster and his neuter before he’s officially all set. In the meantime, he’s ready to wiggle into the arms of his perfect pre-adoptive home or a loving foster who wants to help him kick off his next chapter. Keep in mind: Merle will need to return to our vet (Riverview, Sarasota, or St. Pete) for his final booster and neuter, so we recommend you live within 1.5–2 hours of one of those locations. If you’ve got an open heart, a love for herding dog energy, and maybe a pair of boots for the aesthetic — Merle is ready to trot, wiggle, and zoomie his way into your life.

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.
