Shrimp - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Beagle Dog for Adoption in Ona, West Virginia

Shrimp has never met a stranger, only people he has not had the chance to cuddle yet. This sweet little guy is soft, affectionate, and happiest when he is close to the people he loves. New environments can make him a little timid at first, but a kind voice, a few gentle pets, and a little reassurance go a long way. Before long, he is leaning in for affection and showing off the loving personality everyone falls for. He loves toys, especially his beloved Wubba, and enjoys spending time with other animals just as much as he enjoys being with people. Whether he is carrying his favorite toy around or curled up beside you, Shrimp has a way of making every day a little brighter.

Shrimp's best fit:

Shrimp would do well in a home looking for a gentle, affectionate companion. He gets along well with other animals, has been wonderful with children, and will thrive with a family that can help him continue building confidence in new places. With a little patience and a lot of love, Shrimp will reward his people with endless cuddles, loyal companionship, and one very well-loved Wubba.
