Andi - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Cross Roads, Texas

8-month-old Cattle Dog Mix
Bug hunter - Puddle jumper - Brave little comeback kid

Andi is an 8-month-old Cattle Dog mix who has already lived a whole story's worth of life, but she's writing a much brighter chapter now. She came into the rescue in really rough shape, but this girl is resilient. With love, safety, and time, she is blossoming into a confident, curious, joyful pup who greets each day like an adventure waiting to happen.

She LOVES to hunt and catch bugs (seriously, it's her favorite hobby...you'd think she was getting paid!). She thinks puddles are nature's playground. She adores playing outside, exploring, and romping with other dogs.

When she's done with her adventures, she's more than happy to curl up in a soft spot for a cozy nap. She's crate trained, super smart, and settling beautifully into the rhythm of home life.

Andi is still working on being brave when meeting new people, but really? It might just be her clever way of earning extra treats.

Once she warms up, her sweetness shines through. She's adorable, fun, a tiny bit sassy, and full of heart.

Andi would be a great match for someone who:
- Loves an active, playful companion
- Enjoys a dog with a curious, outdoorsy spirit
- Has another friendly dog for her to romp with (bonus!)
- Understands that confidence grows with patience, kindness, and snacks

If you're looking for a spirited, lovable pup who has overcome so much and is ready to live her best life, Andi might be the perfect fit. She's brave, joyful, and so easy to fall in love with.
