Zara - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Oakland, California

**Hi, I'm Zara! 🐾**
* I'm an approximately 8-month-old Cattle Dog mix with a sweet personality and plenty of energy!
* I'm an active girl who would love to have a person who can keep my body and brain busy.
* I'm actually a total lap dog at heart-I love melting into a cozy lap and using my perfect snoot to snuggle up to my favorite people.
* I'm a sensitive girl, and I can be fearful around other dogs, which can sometimes show up as reactivity. I'll do best with thoughtful introductions and a person who is willing to help me build confidence at my own pace.
* I'm a very smart pup, and I think training could be a really fun way for us to bond and give my clever brain a job! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 27lbs Age: 0yrs 8mths 1wks Animal has been Spayed

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.
