Australian Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Festus, Missouri

Meet Bo: The Sweet & Independent Soul!
Rounding out the group is Bo, the pup for someone who appreciates a little bit of a "thinker." While his siblings are busy wrestling and chasing tails, Bo is the calm, cool, and collected member of the litter.

Bo is a gorgeous Australian Cattle Dog / Collie mix with a coat that is incredibly soft to the touch. He's a sweet-natured boy who marches to the beat of his own drum, often choosing a quiet corner for some "me time."

The Toy Connoisseur
Bo has a unique personality that makes him stand out from the pack:

The Independent Spirit: He is the most independent of the four, often happy to explore on his own.

Toy Enthusiast: Bo loves his toys. His favorite hobby is sneaking away from the group with a prized toy so he can chew and play in peace.

Gentle Heart: He is very sweet and possesses a calm, gentle energy that makes him a joy to be around.

Bo's Ideal Home
Because Bo is a smart working-breed mix, he needs a home that balances his independence with structure:

Mental Stimulation: He'll need a "job" or puzzle toys to keep his clever mind engaged.

Presence: Like his siblings, Bo needs an active, involved family. He will not do well if left in a crate for long hours alone.

Older Children: He is best suited for a home with older kids who can respect his space and join in on his training.

Training Support: Bo is still a work in progress! He needs a patient family to continue teaching him the basics of potty training, crate training, and leash walking.

Adoption Details
Location: Currently being fostered in Villa Ridge, MO.

Adoption Fee: $325
