Cricket - Rottweiler and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Gilbert, Arizona

Cricket is a sweet, affectionate 3-year-old boy who thrives on connection and loves both cuddles and having a job to do. Smart and eager to learn, he has completed professional training through Copper State Canine Solutions and enjoys continuing to work with his person.

He does well in public, is non-reactive, and is generally friendly with both people and other dogs. Cricket may benefit from slower introductions with new dogs and enjoys rough-and-tumble play, so he'd do best with a canine companion who shares his play style.

Cricket does have some resource guarding around high-value items and thresholds, so he'll thrive in a structured home with a confident owner who can provide clear leadership and consistency. Because of this, he'd do best in a home with older children and a family committed to continuing the skills he's already learned.

With the right environment, Cricket will be an incredibly loyal, devoted, and loving companion. ****Please contact Megan at meganahodges99@icloud.com to schedule a meet and greet.
