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

Meet Gary, a very mellow and sweet 8 month old Lab/heeler/other type mix weighing about 45 pounds.

Gary’s story started off tough. He was found abandoned on the streets and it took time and patience to bring him to safety. Once he realized he was safe, his true personality emerged. Gary is VERY affectionate and loyal. He loves being near people and it may take him a few minutes to warm up, but he quickly wins you over.

Gary has the perfect balance of calm and playful energy. He enjoys hiking, exploring new places, and splashing in the water, but he is just as happy relaxing at home. His very mellow nature makes him a perfect companion for any household. He even watches tv with you!

He is crate trained, leash trained, and potty trained. Gary does well with other dogs, is excellent with cats, and has been fostered and done well with an 8 year old child. He LOVES other dogs and truly comes out of his shell when he has doggie friends. He would love a home with at least one other happy, playful dog to show him the ropes.

Gary would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore and enjoy his adventures. Even a four-foot fence works perfectly.

He is currently fostered in Delaware County, Pennsylvania and is ready to find a forever family. Gary is the kind of dog who quietly becomes the heart of a home and a devoted companion for life.
