PUFFIN - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: Delmar, NY Say hello to Goose’s puppies! There are three of them in the flock - Jay Jay (m, red collar, darker ears), Kiwi (m, green collar, thin line down nose), and Puffin (f, purple collar, mask on ears/eyes). These puppies made their way to upstate New York from West Virginia with their mom Goose and have been taking in all the fall foliage while they grow and explore the world. They have all been exposed to a variety of experiences and items indoors (like vacuums) and outdoors (like deer), are used to being handled by adults, and have been in a house with a small child. They appear to be a healthy mix of cattle dog (momma Goose) and something else (???). And, while Goose is pretty small (22 lbs), the pups are quickly outgrowing her and will likely be at least medium sized when grown. Puffin is the more reserved one of her siblings - read, not calm, she’s still a puppy of course and enjoys a good frolic with the best of em'! She is very sweet, but a little nervous of new humans (who are these giants?!), so she should be in home that can offer her continued patience and gentleness as she gets more comfortable. She would do well with a confident dog sibling that she can bond with and that can provide a model for her (and let her know her new people are pretty cool). If you're willing to build trust with Puffin the rewards are great however - and may include very fluffy cuddles. As with her siblings, she will still need a home that can offer her regular physical and mental activity and continued training. She has been in a home with young children, and does well with kids, but would do best in a home with children who are gentle, dog savvy, and/or older. By the time of adoption they will have been dewormed twice, received their first two rounds of vaccinations, and been microchipped. They will go out on a spay/neuter contract. They were born on August 7, 2025 and will be 13 weeks old and available to go to their new homes beginning November 8th. They are started on potty training with pee pads and outside (but obviously have a ways to go with being housetrained) and have a good start with some basic commands, including sitting before meals, comfort with being handled, being with children and other dogs.
