Buddy - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Lafayette, Colorado

Buddy is an easygoing, happy-go-lucky puppy who takes life exactly as it comes. He's a fluffy little roly-poly with a laid-back personality that makes him an absolute joy to have around.

He loves being outside and is often the last one to come in, perfectly content to hang out in the yard and take everything in. He's usually exploring, relaxing, or finding something to entertain himself.

He plays really well with the other puppies and is very social, but he doesn't demand constant attention. Buddy is great at finding toys, making his own fun, and happily joining in with his siblings without needing to be the center of everything.

If you're looking for a puppy who is playful, well-balanced, and easy to live with, Buddy is your guy.

Buddy and his siblings overcame parvo early on and have bounced back into happy, resilient puppies ready for their next chapter.

He loves other dogs, has been around a patient cat (and is learning not to chase), and is great with kids. He's smart, treat motivated, and while not potty trained yet, he's already doing well with potty pads.

He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and being fostered in North Denver.
