Meet Romeo! What a heartbreaker of a cattle dog mix !

He is about 12 weeks old and about 12 pounds. He is an energetic dog who loves to play with other dogs and is also able to auto-entertain . Because he is a puppy, sometimes he auto-entertains with your shoes! He is shy around humans at first but is learning to play with humans and enjoys a good snuggle once he gets sleepy. He is learning so much each day.

He is learning to come when called and is working on housebreaking but still has some accidents . He is learning to walk on a leash and sleeps all night in a crate with no messes . He even puts himself to bed in his crate. He will bark at cats, but just because he is unfamiliar and wants to play with them. He has enjoyed playing with young children.

Cattle dogs are high energy dogs who know they are equal members of the family. He would be a great running/hiking buddy. He would not be happy being left in a yard by himself . He would love to have a dog sibling. He was found as a stray in Georgia with h is mom and siblings . He is up to date on immunizations , has been neutered and been on flea and tick medicine as well as heartworm preventative. He is being fostered in midcoast Maine.

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.
