Heath - Shepherd and Australian Cattle

I HERD you were looking for a furever friend!  Well look no further! My name is Heath and I have been at the shelter since the beginning of February.  I am 52 pounds of happiness and love! I am still young and trying to figure things out as I am nervous and shy at first.  But if you move slowly and calmly, I will warm up to you and I very much enjoy affection and lots of attention.  I love love love my tennis balls and get so excited that I tend to forget to bring it back.  At first, I am a bit stand offish so a home with kids over the age of 10 will be best.  If you have another furever friend at home, I would do best with large friendly and social female dogs. The shelter recommends a home free of small animals because I tend to get a bit too excited when interacting with small dogs.  Please check me out the Front Street Animal Shelter and I'll give you lots of love!





Breed: Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog

Personality: These bulldogs are intelligent and affectionate.  They are sweet and gentle and they actively solicit human attention as they are dependable and predictable.  They make fine watchdogs since they were originally bred for bull baiting.  

Living habits: They are low-endurance dogs, only needing a moderate amount of exercise so they don't require a yard if you don't have one.  Sometimes, they tend to snore and wheeze if full bred.  They overheat and easily get cold so temperate climates are best.  They are short haired but still are moderate shedder and require little grooming.
