Gypsy - Coming Soon - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in League City, Texas

Gypsy and her sister Stormi were dumped with their mom in a hay field with no food, water or shelter. We estimate Gypsy's birth date to be April 1st. 2026 and think she is a mix of Shepherd, boxer, cattle dog maybe. Estimated adult weight is 45 lb. She is very good at using puppy pads. Outdoor potty training is in the works. She plays well with her sister and with the small adult dogs in her fosters house. She has also been exposed extensively to cats and shows them the proper respect so far. She loves to play with toys, collects them in her bed, and chews on chewies. Chewies, lots of them. At night she has free rein of the kitchen and the breakfast room and after a little bit of complaints and she puts herself to bed. Foster Mom leaves a small light on in the kitchen so she can see if she needs to find the puppy pads at night.

She was shy when first rescued but has warmed up to her foster family quite well. Right now. She's mostly interested in being a puppy, which means running around, playing with the other animals, carrying toys around the house, chewing on things and barking if her sister has the toy she wants. Right now, her baby teeth are very sharp, and she thinks hands are like toys, there to chew on so older, considerate children who know how to handle puppy antics would be more appropriate. The good news is that with the right training and LOTS of love, she will be the best addition to your family ever and your best bud.

If you are interested in her, please send an email to scpdogworld@gmail.com to get more information on how to fill out an application and have a great meet and greet to see if we are a match made in heaven.
