DESCRIPTION
Meet Russell — our adorable 3-month-old male Heeler mix — ready to steal your heart!
This sweet little guy is a tiny cattle dog with big personality potential and the cutest face you'll ever see. Russell starts off a bit shy with new people, but once he warms up, he transforms into the biggest love bug — showering you with affection and following you with those adoring eyes.
He's already showing off his playful, spunky side:
• Great with kids and other dogs — he especially loves tumbling and playing with the big dogs, even though he's still so tiny
• Crate trained like a pro: he settles in nicely and sleeps peacefully through the night
• Potty training in progress — he's learning quickly with consistent guidance (every puppy has accidents at this age!)
• Smart and eager to learn — currently working on his “sit” command and picking it up fast
• Snuggle champion — he loves curling up for cozy naps and quiet cuddle time
Once comfortable, Russell is outgoing, spunky, and full of energy — the perfect mix of adventurous Heeler spirit and sweet companion vibes.
If you're looking for a loyal, playful little shadow who will grow into a wonderful family dog, Russell is the one! This smart, affectionate boy is ready to find his forever home where he can blossom and be loved.

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
