Jasper - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Manassas, Virginia

If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn't always work.

Hi everyone! My name is Jasper and you don't know it yet, but you want me to be a part of your family! Let me tell you a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better! I am a young boy at just 1.5 years. I am told I am a very energetic boy, but if I could talk, I would remind everyone I AM a cattle dog and I AM all cattle dog!! It takes me a minute to warm up to new people because well, I have been through a lot. You see I was adopted but got returned because the humans in the home had some life changing events that didn't include me so they left me behind. My new friends at ACDRA said I have potential, good intentions and a very sweet side if given a chance to get to know me.

As you can see I am a handsome boy, I love love love to be outside and on the go and the jolly ball is my new best friend! I am friendly with other dogs as long as they don't try to rule my world, slow introductions work best for me! Something I do need to share, I am a bit scared of brooms and mops and will try to put them in my place. My foster dad thinks they were probably used to punish me so I try to make sure they don't get the best of me and I show them who is the boss!

I love my treats and food and will work hard for both. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives and really just want to find a place of my own where I can run, play with jolly balls and get snuggles once I understand you are going to be kind and loving. I am currently hanging out in Cedar Bluff AL, but my best friend Kaleb says he is happy to drive me pretty far to make sure I get the best family ever!!

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.
