Oro - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in The Colony, Texas

Meet Oro, a handsome 3.5-month-old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix with a beautiful copper and white coat. This gentle and sweet boy has an outgoing personality and loves being involved in whatever his people are doing. He's the kind of puppy who wants to tag along, explore, and be part of the family.

Oro is still learning all the things that come with being a young puppy. He is working on his manners and learning how to walk nicely on a leash. He's already making great progress with "sit," and since he is very treat motivated, positive reinforcement should make training a fun experience for both Oro and his new family.

Like any puppy his age, Oro will still need help with potty training, crate training, leash training, basic commands, and everyday manners. He'll need a family that understands puppies take time, patience, consistency, and plenty of tasty rewards while they learn.

Oro is expected to grow into a large boy and would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a sweet, outgoing pup to grow up alongside them. If you're ready to put in a little puppy work in exchange for a lifetime of love and companionship, Oro is ready to meet you!
