BILLIE
Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler, Shepherd
🇺🇸
Lafayette, Colorado
April 20th
female, medium, baby
DESCRIPTION
Billie is one of the bigger pups in the litter and definitely one of the leaders of the pack. She's always ready to play and brings a big, fun energy to everything she does.
She's confident and not afraid to take charge when she's running around with her siblings. Billie loves to wrestle, chase, and keep the action going.
Because of her playful personality, Billie would thrive in a home with another dog who can match her energy and help burn it off.
While she enjoys human attention, she's not overly demanding about it. She's independent enough to entertain herself but always happy to check in and be part of whatever you're doing.
Billie and her siblings overcame parvo early on and have bounced back into happy, resilient puppies ready for their next chapter.
She loves other dogs, has been around a patient cat (and is learning not to chase), and is great with kids. She's smart, treat motivated, and while not potty trained yet, she's already doing well with potty pads.
She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and being fostered in North Denver.
