Patsy - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Irving, Texas

Meet Patsy

Patsy is a beautiful 2–3-year-old, 35-pound Heeler/Jack Russell Terrier mix—or at least that’s our best guess! Everyone seems to have a different opinion about her breed, but everyone agrees on one thing: she is a very sweet girl.

Patsy and her puppies came to us from the South Texas border. Her puppies were most likely born around Christmas Day 2025, and three of them are still available for adoption.

Patsy loves to run and play in the backyard and will happily romp around the house, too. At bedtime, she knows the routine—she goes right into her crate and settles down for the night.

She is fully vetted but still needs to complete her heartworm treatment, which we will make sure she receives.

Patsy has finished raising her babies. Now it’s Mama’s turn to find her forever family.

Age: 2–3 years
Weight: Approximately 35 lbs.
Adoption fee: $100
