CLARA BELLE - 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. 9/15/26 Clara Belle is a gorgeous pup who is about 4 months old. She’s in New England. We are not sure of Clara Belle's breed but she appears to be a Heeler mix. She is shy but sweet. She has lived with cats and kids and does fine with both, but we would be hesitant to place her in a home with cats. Although she is fine with them now, I fear that as she grows, her herding instinct may be too much for cats to tolerate. She should go to a home with older kids, for the same reason. If she develops the tendency to herd, this can be hard for toddler age kids to understand and can viewed as "biting." She is a medium to high energy pup. She is on the go making it hard to get good pictures She sleeps most of the night but wakes up a few times. She loves to play and absolutely adores Nova (her Great Dane foster sister). She weighs maybe 20lb and you would think she was the same size as Nova with the way they play. She barks a little bit. She has nipped a few times when she is getting excited and playing. Again, she’s not being mean, but it’s that herding instinct. She will cuddle when she is ready to settle in for the night. We are working on learning how to walk on a leash. House training is a work in progress but she seems like a very smart girl who will learn quickly. She’s a sweet girl with a dash of sass! Clara Belle needs a home with a family who is committed to giving her plenty of exercise. She is a very beautiful little girl and has great potential in the right home. Her story of how she came into rescue- She was being given away in a parking with the caption "I'm feeding her one last meal. If no one takes her by the time she's finished, I'm dumping her somewhere because she's not going home with me." Turns out the guy is a backyard breeder and his female got out and came back pregnant with mixed breed puppies. He was mad that he couldn't sell the puppies and make some quick money. Thankfully a Good Samaritan took her in. She is spayed, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. In New England.
