Marshall - Hound and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

Introducing Marshall! Marshall is a 9 month old (approximately) heeler mix and is just as sweet and fun as his photos portray! He's a little velcro pup who will make the best adventure buddy in an active home! He loves other dogs and would love a confident sibling to play with, though he would also love being the sole focus of all your love and attention! He probably should be in a home with no cats; he's been a little too interested in the resident cat. When fully grown he will be about 40 pounds.

Marshall is building confidence and working on skills like sit, come, and stay. He is unsure of new people and places, but with patience (and treats- he LOVES treats) he quickly warms up and shows off his cute personality. Marshall is the best cuddler! Currently, his favorite spot is on his foster mom's lap! Crate training is going well, but he's not yet staying in one for too long as we work through some anxiety. Marshall is learning that being alone is okay and needs some patience as he gains some confidence being without his human.

Marshall would benefit from a home who understands, or is willing to understand, herding dog needs. He is a smart boy who needs both his mind and body exercised. He has strong herding dog instincts that need to be redirected and will need patience as he learns he is not, in fact, a working dog.

Marshall is excited to meet you and can't wait for his furever home!

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
