He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and wormer. He tested heart worm positive and is currently undergoing slow-kill treatment. He is asymptomatic and doing great. He is a little intimidated by the loud shelter, but is adjusting. He needs an adopter familiar with the breed.

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.
