Description
Dog Breed: Queensland Heeler (medium coat). Meet Calypso! He was recently returned by adopter after several months — not for anything “wrong,” but for being exactly what he is: a smart, energetic working dog who needs time, structure, and purpose. • High-energy, intelligent, and driven — classic herding breed traits • Needs an active home committed to training, enrichment, and consistency • Shelter life is increasing his stress — he’s ready to get out and decompress • Can experience anxiety, especially in the shelter environment • May bark at other dogs while on leash (likely excitement/frustration) — will benefit from training and guidance • Loves people and enjoys engaging with his humans • Dog-friendly and social in shelter playgroups • Would likely thrive with a compatible canine companion (with a controlled introduction) • Would do best with an experienced owner or rescue who understands working breeds Calypso isn’t “too much” — he’s just waiting for the right person who sees his potential and is ready to invest in him. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out his playgroup video here: To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Texas Heeler is a dynamic crossbreed, originating from the deliberate pairing of the Australian Cattle Dog and the Australian Shepherd, predominantly in, as its name suggests, Texas. This intelligent and energetic canine typically boasts a medium build, with a strong, athletic frame well-suited for an active lifestyle. Their coat can vary widely in color and pattern, often displaying the striking merle or mottled markings of their parent breeds. Temperamentally, Texas Heelers are known for their loyalty, eagerness to please, and high energy levels, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families who can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation. Due to their herding instincts and need for space, they are generally not suitable for apartment living and thrive in homes with yards. While generally robust, they can inherit health concerns common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, and certain eye conditions. Prospective owners should be prepared for a dedicated and engaging canine partner.
