Blue - German Shepherd Dog and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Ona, West Virginia

Blue has plenty of puppy enthusiasm tucked inside a slightly cautious package. He can be a little unsure when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, but his sweet, friendly personality shines through once he has a chance to settle in. He loves toys, happily chases a ball around the yard, and is always ready to join in on the fun, even if he is still learning that bringing the ball back is part of the game. Blue is house trained, crate trained, and travels wonderfully in the car. He is affectionate, playful, and looking for someone who will help him grow into the confident dog he is meant to be.



Blue's best fit:

Blue will thrive with a family that enjoys helping a young dog learn and build confidence. He gets along well with other dogs, has lived with a toddler, and has done well with cats, though he may occasionally give chase. He is still learning leash manners and will benefit from continued training, socialization, and plenty of opportunities to play. For someone willing to invest a little time and patience, Blue will make a loyal, loving companion.
