Hank - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Mocksville, North Carolina

The perfect dog doesn't exist. Well, Hank is pretty darn close. This lovable and friendly 2 year old Blue Heeler mix is handsome. He has a very interesting merle coat with red patches. A great start. He loves everyone he meets, walks well on a leash, knows the sit command and because he is already neutered, his adoption fee is only $20. Hank weighs 47 pounds. OK, there's his flaw. He could stand to lose a few pounds, 40 would be an ideal weight for him. A few extra walks and some weight control dog food and he will be well on his way to a healthier weight. Hank was adopted and returned through no fault of his.
