Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Washington, Georgia

Checkers is a 14 week old Heeler/Jack-Rat mix who is the sweetest girl with an unusual mix and beautiful coloring. She is around 13 lbs. and will probably get bigger, but it is hard to tell if she will be a small dog or more medium sized. She looks like she favors the Heeler part of her mix, so she may get over 25 lbs. She has had first puppy shots, deworming and her Rabies. We will spay and chip her.
We took her to a local festival and of course, everyone loves a puppy. She likes playing with her toys, she gets along with children and other dogs. She does not know how to walk on a leash, she just sits there, so she will need some training. However, she does enjoy being carried.
