Pit Bull Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hello from Columbia, Connecticut! I’m Jax. A cool Pitbull/Cattle Dog mix about 1.5 years old, and I weigh about 45 lbs. I was a stray dog in Texas, taken in by a rescue dog sanctuary, where I lived outdoors full-time in a kennel. I was safe and fed, but I’m a really nice dog who deserved to live in a home with people and fun things to do, and that's where 4 Little Paws Rescue came in. Bless my lucky stars when they paid for a 6-week “Board & Train” in Columbia, CT, and that’s where I am currently staying, just finishing up my training, and now ready to find a forever home!

My trainer/dad says I’m a sweetheart and a bit of a doofus, with my youthful exuberance and joy for life. I love to learn, and I’m good at it! I am also affectionate, love to cuddle with my people, love blankets to sleep in, and I love chew toys, especially a favorite water buffalo chew. I am friendly, energetic, playful, and great with other dogs, preferring girls over boys if I get a choice of dog friends.

Training-wise, I have learned sit, heel, down, come, working on stay, and I have excellent recall. I’m doing great with leash manners, crate training, and house manners. I’m already housebroken and very food-motivated, and I LOVE getting a treat reward. The rescue has paid for an additional 2.5-hour training session in YOUR home with further video/phone consults if needed. Ideally, you should come over to meet me with my trainer, so inquire about me today!
Adoption Fee: $400

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 Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature.
