DESCRIPTION
Dancing in Starlight
Let me tell you about Starlight. He’s believed to be a Red Heeler mix. He is 1 year old and weighs 22 lbs. This guy is very affectionate; he’ll shower you with love & kisses, asking only for kindness, love & tenderness. In return for your care, he is incredibly faithful & loyal. He just wants to be with you as much as he can.
Starlight enjoys vehicle rides. He likes to stand up (I use a tether for the dogs' safety) & watch out the window. He enjoys the company of other dogs & especially appreciates the more playful ones. He’s OK with cats, but very curious about them. The cat may not appreciate his sniffing & closeness.
Star, Starry, Starlight has a lot of energy & requires daily exercise. I strongly recommend a fenced-in yard where he can run freely.
This obedient, loving guy is up-to-date on vaccinations & neutered. He has been house trained, kennel trained (& sleeps all night quietly in a kennel) & somewhat leash trained.
I invite you to come to our next "Pups at PetSmart," Mar 22, 1:00–3:00, & meet Starlight, or apply at adoptapal.org/adopt.
ABOUT: AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG BLUE HEELER DOG 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.
