Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: MD. Larry is a playful 2-year-old ACD mix who weighs 36 pounds. Despite a rough start—he was abandoned at a landfill in rural Kentucky—this resilient pup has blossomed in foster care. Kind volunteers initially built temporary shelter for Larry until ACDRA could arrange a proper foster home. Life on the Farm Larry has truly come alive in his foster home on a farm, where he loves running and playing with his foster siblings. He's sweet, outgoing, and affectionate with adults, though he hasn't been around children yet. His favorite activities include daily pack hikes, chewing bones, and swimming in the farm pond. At the end of each adventure-filled day, Larry's favorite spot is snuggled up with his foster dad on the sofa, followed by a peaceful night's sleep beside him. Larry is mostly house-trained and does well in his crate. He's mastered the doggie door and walks nicely on leash. He is highly food motivated and takes correction and redirection well, making basic training easily within reach. Ideal Home Larry will thrive with a confident, cattle dog-experienced owner who can provide clear boundaries, consistent daily training, and plenty of exercise. True to his cattle dog nature, he will try to nip your heels and loves chasing anything that moves—especially water from the hose! However, his chase instincts extend to cars, making a securely fenced yard essential for his safety. Areas for Continued Work While Larry hasn't shown resource guarding with his foster dad, he does need ongoing work on treat-related aggression with other dogs. With patience and consistent training, this behavior can be managed. Larry is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives. He's ready to find his forever family! Larry is being fostered in Adamstown, MD. Contact his foster dad: kirkdrueygmail 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.
