I'll need help with re-directing my energy onto appropriate toys as well as being rewarded when I'm in a calm and relaxed state.I really enjoy playing with toys! In time, I'm sure you'll learn my favorites.Give me treats and pets and you will be my new favorite person.I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
