Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Bluetick Coonhound Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Earl Gray, a brave 3-4 month old Heeler mix that was going to be euthanized at the shelter due to overcrowding.

Eggy is a floppy, curious pup with a big heart. Despite his rough start to life, with time he opens up into a loving, playful, and eager-to-learn companion.

Eggy is super courageous and loves exploring his surroundings. He’s playful, toy-driven, and loves other dogs. He has a gentle, more submissive personality around other dogs making him a great future playmate for yours!

He’s doing great with both potty training and crate training, and finds comfort in his crate as a safe space. Eggy is very food motivated, which makes training enjoyable and helps him build confidence quickly.

With patience, consistency, and kindness, Earl Gray will blossom into a sweet, affectionate, and loyal pup who will happily bond with his new forever family.

His adoption fee includes all rounds of puppy vaccines, microchipping, deworming, and a $300 refundable neuter deposit, with a mandatory neuter contract to sterilize at 6 months.

He is currently being fostered in Austin Tx, but available for out of state adoption.
