CHOCOLATE - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Richmond, California

Chocolate really is as sweet-natured as her name! She loves snuggles and belly rubs and has a heart full of love. She's very affectionate with both kids and adults and just wants to be with her people. Time to go outside? Chocolate is ready! Walks, hikes, play time in the yard, you name it! She will happily fetch the ball and plays well with other dogs. You won't believe how fast she is!

She will thrive with an active owner or family that can give her both love and exercise.

Here's a summary of all the amazing things Chocolate's foster has told us about her:

"She walks well on the leash and seems to have great recall. She's house trained and crate trained, but totally not destructive and can be free roaming when left alone. She already knows commands including sit, stay, come and drop it, and is working on down and pay. She's generally pretty quiet and will only bark to alert or when startled, but she settles quickly. Chocolate gets on well with other dogs and will zoom around and play given the chance. She's on the submissive side, so prefers slow intros, but once she's made a friend, they're a friend for life! Chocolate is an all round great dog and will make a wonderful companion for a family, couple or solo owner, with or without resident dogs."

Apply today to meet her and have Chocolate melt your heart!

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
