OTTO - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 7/26 Please SHARE Otto!!! Otto is a 6-7 year old handsome boy looking for his forever home. At 6-7 years old, he’s long past the puppy stage but still has lots of life left. His former owner did a DNA test which showed he is mixed, with the predominant breed being Australian Cattle Dog. Seems to maybe have some hound in him too. He is NOT high energy. He weighs about 50 pounds. Otto is good with other dogs but has a more dominant personality. He’s fine with kids but gets nervous if they start rough housing or get loud. More about him: He’s afraid of thunder & fireworks, loves to be brushed, walks well on a leash but will pull towards random vehicles (not all but selectively), loves to eat, doesn’t chew or bother household items. House trained. Does not need to be crated. Would like to snuggle up on the couch. Rides well in the car. Otto originally came into rescue in 2022 from a hoarding situation where he was pretty much just roaming around outside, owner had lots of animals. We believe he’d been hit by a car at one point and had a foot injury that was never tended to, but it doesn’t bother him now. We rescued him and he was adopted. Fast forward to This spring-his adopter could no longer keep him due to life changes. He’s been in a foster home since then. They considered keeping him but have decided not to, so we really want to find his forever home. He is neutered and UTD on vaccines. In New England.
