Kola is an amazing, very intelligent boy looking for a loving home!

Kola is an energetic playful pup who loves to be the centre of attention. He is very silly, and has a big personality. Although sometimes shy at first, Kola warms up to anyone and just wants to be your best friend. He is an amazing dog to go on adventures with, and when he chooses someone as his, he is the most loyal companion. He is an active dog, but is always right there when you want to sit down for a cuddle!

As Kola is still a puppy, he is still needing socialization and continuous training! Other more dominant dogs are quite intimidating at first but he warms up to them and then loves to play. He is getting more confident every day! When things get scary his favourite thing to do is sit down and observe, until he realizes he is okay and then goes back to his activities!

Because he is so smart he loves to learn tricks and is incredibly food motivated. He already knows sit, down, come, and is learning heel, stay, and centre! He also loves to play with puzzle toys, and always impresses with his determination and skill.

This incredible boy loves to melt hearts, no matter who you are. He loves playing with the neighbourhood kids, and has shared a home with multiple dogs and people. He travels well in the car and is currently also learning crate training.
Kola is an incredible dog, with a heart of absolute gold. All he wants is to be loved, and is very ready for a forever home and his own people!

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
