Moby (URGENT Foster or Adopter Needed) - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Westwood, New Jersey

Meet Moby

Moby is a 2 year, 8 month old Australian Cattle Dog weighing about 50 lbs. He is a neutered male who is both crate trained, leash trained and house trained, and he knows basic commands like sit and down and comes when called.

Moby is a friendly, affectionate dog with new people. He enjoys attention, belly rubs, and is comfortable being pet by neighbors. For this reason, Moby will need an experienced adopter or foster who understands herding breeds and is comfortable continuing behavior work and setting clear boundaries. His breed does best with a fenced yard so his home will need to have one.

Dogs: Selective; does best depending on size
Cats: Unknown

Moby would likely thrive in a structured, adult-only home with consistent leadership, breed experience, and a commitment to helping him succeed. With the right environment and guidance, Moby will be a loyal, loving companion. He desperately needs a foster. He is not doing well in boarding, he has been there for months.

Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression.

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
