Custard - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

We rescued Custard’s mom from a rural shelter we help when she was still pregnant. Thankfully, one of our wonderful fosters brought her into her home so she would have a safe place to have her babies. Custard was born in July, and she has been a great pup. She has completed her veterinary care, so she’s ready to find her forever person.

Custard is a social girl, and she likes any attention she can get. She likes to play with other dogs and cats too. She loves kids and has been with children as young as 6. She is learning how to walk on a leash, and is almost house trained.

Custard is 11 weeks old and weighs 10 pounds. We think she is a Cattle Dog mix and will be about 35 pounds as an adult. She is spayed, vaccinated for rabies, DHPP and Bordetella. She is also microchipped, heartworm negative and is current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Custard can arrive in Dewitt, New York on 11/7. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out the application found here: https://throwadogabone.org/adopt.
