German Shepherd Dog and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Lenexa, Kansas

Franklin needs a foster or forever home!

He's only a puppy, but one family has already let Franklin down. They had him since he was a baby, but turned him in to the shelter, claiming they found him as a stray. We're here to help Franklin find a home with people who will love him forever and proudly say he is theirs.

Franklin is darling, about 6 to 8 months old, and a mix of German Shepherd and cattle dog/blue heeler. He has the looks and size of a small German Shepherd, but Franklin's personality is blue heeler through and through. You might think of him as a heeler in German Shepherd clothes.

Understandably, Franklin's unsure of himself right now. He'll need time to trust again, and he'll need patient adopters to help him with this adjustment. Franklin is absolutely, 100% worth your time and patience.

If you're interested in giving this great boy a loving, stable home, please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. He's in the Kansas City metro, but transport might be available to the right home.
