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

Meet Maximus! He is approximately 3 year old male, neutered ACD mix. Approximately 35lb. Things to know about me: * I’ll be your best friend. I am the happiest, go lucky boy around! *

Need a snuggler? Sign me up! * I love my other dog friendly and play well with them. * I also love cats...but a little too much. My foster believes I would do best in a home without cats because I don’t understand “soft” play with these furry felines. * You’ve got kids? No problem. I have done great with the 4 young children I’ve lived with.

* I am a high energy guy and am looking for a home that can provide lots of exercise. * Looking for a dog who’s already house trained? I’m your guy! * Car rides on windy roads can be a bit tough for me as I get car sick. Please try to go slow and stick to highways if possible. * I walk great on a leash but we can be a bit leash reactive when I see other dogs. I’m working on it, ok?!

* Smarty pants here! I already know some basic commands like sit and lay down.

Please contact Alison at amaksimak@gmail.com if interested in adopting Max.

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.
