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

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Available: Deuce 1 y/o Blue Male Louisville KY Meet Deuce, a sweet and affectionate boy who brings the perfect blend of playfulness and calm. At 25 lbs he is a great size for both adventures and snuggle time, and he adapts easily to whatever the household is doing. Deuce came into rescue after being removed from an abusive home where he was “buckshot” and kicked multiple times. He received the veterinary attention he needed and healed well both physically and mentally rally. He has a very slight occasional limp in his front left leg, but it does not slow him down or affect his day-to-day life. Deuce enjoys meeting new people and exploring new places. He is curious, friendly, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. He loves toys, enjoys a good game of fetch, and will happily bring you his favorites. When playtime is over, he is just as content relaxing on his own or curling up beside you. Deuce is house-trained and will go to the door when he needs to go out. He does not vocalize to alert, so his new family should keep an eye on his signals. He is crate-trained and settles quietly with a small bit of encouragement. He is learning sit and making steady progress with leash work. He chews only his toys and has not shown any resource guarding. He has two barks, a playful, excited bark and a deeper working bark, though he rarely uses the second one. Deuce is wonderful with dogs of all ages and sizes. He enjoys being included in daily activities and does well with a household that offers regular play and structure. He travels well in the car but can get motion sickness on longer rides. He tolerates baths without issue and approaches new environments with curiosity. He enjoys company but is also comfortable relaxing independently. Deuce will thrive in a moderately active home that can continue guiding his training and give him opportunities to play, explore, and learn. He would enjoy another friendly dog in the home but does not require it. Deuce is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, on preventatives, and healed from his previous injury with no ongoing care needed. Deuce is ready for a fresh start and a family who will give him patience, consistency, and love. If you are looking for a happy and well-rounded companion who brings both joy and calm to your home, Deuce may be the perfect fit. Questions about Deuce? Please email kebtyleryahoo.
