Meet Blondie, the Australian Cattle Dog! You’ll fall head over “heels” for this sweet heeler girl. She is sure to make you laugh and steal your heart with her boundless energy, unique fur pattern and those darling eyes. She just might be the cutest and most loyal companion you’ll ever have on your daily adventures! Blondie is described as the perfect house guest! She is super affectionate and loves making new friends. She is currently working on her house training and showing progress every day. (This is great for such a young puppy!) Blondie loves her toys, likes to snuggle and does very well in her crate. She’ll bark here and there, but not too much—just enough to keep things interesting and let you know what she’s thinking. Her perfect family will be ready for playtime and daily walks to help her get the exercise she needs. If there are kids in the home, we think it’s best that they’re older and able to handle her heeler high energy! Blondie’s paw-fect life will be with an active family that is committed to consistent training, plenty of physical activity, and, of course, lots of couch cuddles at the end of a long day. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
