SPECKLES - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Border Collie / Mixed. Location: Salem, Ohio Speckles! 1 year old female spayed Cattle dog/ Border Collie cross This sweet girl is showing me everyday that she deserves her own human and a safe life. She is also telling me she had that at one time. What we do know is that her human passed away. After her human passed away, she was put outside & fed sporadically. So what do you think happened to Speckles, an unspayed female thrown outside to fend for herself? Yep, barely a year old herself & she finds herself pregnant. Well, family members wanted no part of taking care of puppies so they drop her off at the closest overcrowded shelter. So here’s poor Speckles, in a strange loud, scary place just wanting to find a safe spot to have her puppies. ACDRA to the rescue! They pulled her and placed her with me to foster. She looked horrible when she came to me. So thin & scared. Another new strange place, new people & other dogs. Soon she delivered ten (yes, as in 10) healthy puppies. What a good Momma! Well fast forward, puppies have been weaned, another traumatic time for a Momma. Then what do we do to her? We take her to the vet & have her spayed! Another scary, uncomfortable venture for her to overcome! Well guess what? She did overcome & is just getting better every day! She feels good. She’s happy! She loves playing with balls! Speckles has glowed up! She looks so much better & is much happier but she has one more hurdle to leap. Once again she is looking for her home. Her forever home. Her forever home with her very own person. Speckles seems to be a good candidate for dog sports. She is young & very easy to train. She loves balls and frisbees! I can see her excelling in disc dog and loving every minute. She so much fun to play with in the yard because she loves chasing balls. So that’s her story. Speckles is just over a year old, spayed and current on all vaccines. She is also on flea & tick prevention and heartworm prevention. To be safe I’m going to suggest she be the only dog in the home. Although she is showing signs she wants to play with my dogs, when she first came to me she was in Momma Bear mode & wanted nothing to do with other dogs hanging around! Not only that, she just deserves to be someone’s one & only where she will get lots of love & attention! She is fostered thru ACDRA in Salem Ohio.
