Hex - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Gainesville, Virginia

Meet Hex!

Don’t let the name fool you. This tiny boy looks much more likely to charm you than put a spell on you!

Hex is currently about 7 weeks old and will be arriving at his foster home in Millsboro, Delaware the weekend of October 2.

Based on Mom and his own scruffy little appearance, our best guess is that Hex is an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler and Terrier mix, possibly with Chihuahua or another small breed mixed in. Dad is unknown.

Hex has an adorable black-and-tan coat, fuzzy little face, and the sweetest tiny puppy expression. He is still a baby, so his personality will continue to develop as he grows and settles into foster care.

His future family should be prepared for all the normal puppy stages, including potty training, crate training, leash training, chewing, socialization, and plenty of playtime and snuggles.

Hex is expected to arrive in Millsboro, DE the weekend of October 2.

His adoption fee is $550.

Because Hex is too young to be altered prior to adoption, all puppy adoptions require a signed spay/neuter contract. The adopter agrees to have the puppy neutered at approximately 6 months of age. The adopter is responsible for scheduling and paying for the procedure. Paws Deep Animal Rescue does not cover the cost of the neuter.

Once proof of neuter is provided to the rescue, $100 of the adoption fee will be returned to the adopter via PayPal or check.

Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters in Texas or directly from the streets of South Texas. The adoption fee helps cover transportation, age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing when age appropriate, and other veterinary and rescue expenses.

We partner with VCA Animal Hospitals. Every adoption includes a complimentary First Exam at a participating VCA location within the first 14 days of adoption. VCA also provides limited health guarantee coverage of up to $250 for certain minor illnesses diagnosed during that initial period.

We do not guarantee breed or adult size. Breed listings are our best guess based on appearance, available parent information, and personality traits. We also cannot guarantee that any rescue dog is not mixed with pit bull.

Paws Deep Animal Rescue is a nonprofit rescue. Any excess revenue is used to help cover the care of animals with additional medical needs.
