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

Hi! My name is Alphonse, but my friends call me Alphie. I'm super sweet--especially when I'm a little sleepy. When I'm wide awake, I love to play and explore, either on my own or with my foster sisters. I'm a smart pup and already potty trained! I'm very food motivated and eager to learn, though I sometimes need gentle reminders to be patient and keep my teeth off fingers. I get along well with other dogs and cats. New environments can feel a bit scary at first, but I warm up quickly and settle in once I know I'm safe.
If you would like to meet Alphonse, please complete an adoption application at www.souldog.org. Once approved, someone will contact you to set up a meet and greet. If you have any questions, email adopt@souldog.org!
