Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Wonka is a sweet and easygoing puppy with a lovely mix of affection, playfulness, and calmness. He enjoys being near his people and happily comes when called, but he is just as content exploring the yard or playing with toys. He has a naturally relaxed energy that makes him easy to be around and a joy to share daily life with.

He does well with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. He is polite in his play, happily engaging with dogs who want to play and giving space to those who do not. Cats are a bit intimidating to him, so he respectfully avoids them and keeps his distance.

Potty training is going very well. He prefers going outside but also knows how to use a potty pad when needed. Wonka handles baths and nail trims with ease and takes it all in stride like a little pro.

Wonka is a gentle, affectionate puppy who would thrive in a home looking for a loyal companion, a steady sidekick, and a professional snuggler.

He is being fostered in Texas, but can be transported.
