Dawdy (Portland, OR) - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Mount Vernon, Washington

Don't tell the other adoptable puppies, but we think Dawdy is the absolute best! Confident, intelligent, curious, outgoing, cuddly, and adorable, what's not to love? It's hard to believe that he was abandoned by a dumpster in Texas, but a bumpy start hasn't phased this spunky 2 month old pup.

Dawdy is a huge fan of everything! He loves any dog he has met so far and always tries to engage them in play. He is happy to meet any new person and eager to share some puppy kisses. Dawdy loves to be outside either playing, going for walks, sniffing, or relaxing in the sun. He loves to splash in water, and while he hasn't been to the beach or river yet, he will probably happily take to it.

Dawdy is a huge fan of the game of tug and would love any home where he can tug for hours. He also loves a good car ride and is happy to go on any adventure you can dream up!

Since Dawdy is still a teething puppy, he can be a little nippy. He doesn't have any experience around children. He's currently learning basic commands and is a very quick learner. Dawdy is looking for a family committed to continuing with his training and helping him grow into the amazing dog he is destined to be.

Dawdy is neuteredm microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate core vaccines. He is currently being fostered in Portland, OR. His adoption fee is $490.
