Hi, Im Mystic!

My foster mom says that Im the sweetest, most loving and trusting girl, who is a super fast learner, and a pro cuddler!

I was found as a stray, so Ive had some hard days. Im a nervous girl when it comes to loud noises and new experiences, but Im gaining confidence every day! My foster mom says that even when Im scared, she can tell Im doing my absolute best to adapt and be brave, and that Ive done an amazing job adjusting to life in the city so far. I trust my people, and if they say something scary is actually safe, Im willing to give it a chance. For example, when I first heard the TV turn on, I was not a fan, but now I love curling up with my foster mom to watch a show!

I love playing with other dogs, and I learn really quickly from my doggy friends. I once learned Shake just by watching another pup get a treat for doing it! Id love to join a family where I had a doggy sibling, I promise Id be the best addition to any pack! Im polite and well-behaved on-leash and at home, and also a quiet lady, so if youre looking for a pup who doesn't make much noise, Id be perfect!

Im a smart cookie, and in addition to shake I know sit and leave it. Im also very good in my crate! My foster mom works in the office, and I dont mind entertaining myself with my toys or bones while shes out making the treat money. I know Ill get all the snuggles and cuddles once shes home!

Snuggling is one of my favorite activities. I like to give my foster mom hugs by pushing my nose into her body, slowly leaning further and further in until my butt is in the air, and then eventually sliding down so I can get belly rubs. My foster thinks this is very adorable, and I agree! I love getting all the attention, and am more than happy to play therapy dog and let people pet me all day long. Im a giver!

If youre looking for a sweet, smart, snuggly pup to add to your family, who to pick is no mystery! Mystic is the one for you! Apply to adopt me today!

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
