Jackson - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Jackson may have started out life as a sweet little pup but his character is now that of a rowdy cattle dog. Now 20 pounds at 15 weeks he is living his best life, taking on all that comes at him with confidence and endless energy.

Not much into playing ball, he would rather herd the players or steal the ball when they are not looking. Lives with cats of all ages, pestering some, chasing others and in some cases having a snuggle.

He loves people but hasn’t been around the little people. He enjoys car rides and loves his off leash runs in the local game lands. Swimming, so far, is not his thing but wading in the shallows in search of frogs can be great fun.

Backyard activities include climbing the A-frame, walking on the dogwalk and having a swing. He will also tug endlessly with his foster brother. He is getting much better at leash walking, just not sure of all those neighborhood barking dogs.

Scheduled for his final puppy vaccinations, and is not yet neutered. He is microchipped and ready to roll. Jackson is being fostered along with his foster brother Trip in Watsontown PA.

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.
