Tony - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?
I will be your sunshine on rainy days.
Need a pal to motivate you to get up and go? That's me!
Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.

I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs.
Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

The type of home I'm looking for:
I would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

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.
