- Great with children and currently lives with kids ages 3, 4, and 6
- Loves running in the yard, sunbathing, chewing on her bones, and playing with toys
- Excellent in the car and slept through a one-hour ride
- Housebroken and will let you know when she needs to go outside
- Crate trained for sleeping overnight and daytime naps, and has also done great sleeping in bed
- Already knows sit and is learning paw
- Healthy with no medical concerns

Like any young puppy, Zelda is still learning! She is working on leash walking, still has typical puppy nipping that just needs redirection, and if she doesn't have appropriate chew toys in her crate, she may chew her blanket instead. She will usually tell you when she needs to go outside, but she may have an accident if you cannot get her out quickly enough. She has briefly met a cat and was more curious than fearful, so with slow introductions she may do well in a home with cats.

A securely fenced yard is strongly preferred since she absolutely loves to run and play. Zelda has a wonderful medium energy level and is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Shes simply looking for a family to love!

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.
