If you are looking for a new family member, consider rescue. You will never feel more love than from a rescue. |
Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Male : : Young : : Medium
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.
8/20/24 Aldo’s ideal home has another dog for him to play with and/or a fenced yard where he can burn off some energy. A home without other dogs or fenced yard will still be considered! We just want the right fit for Aldo. He is half Cattle dog and demonstrates the cattle dog energy and traits.
Aldo has been available since February and is still waiting. His foster family loves him but he really needs to find his forever home. Unfortunately the 6mo-1 year old dogs are just not popular among adopters.
He is a really cool, fun dog. He is sweet and friendly. He loves people! If you’re looking for a playmate for your dog or if you need a buddy to join you on hikes, runs, or walks, Aldo would be a great choice!
Facebook doesn’t like when we ask for S.H.A.R.E.S. But….they are very important in helping dogs to find homes. So if you all could do the thing facebook doesn’t like us to ask for…You never know who on your friends list may be looking for a dog.
BREED
A DNA test done on his sister shows he is 51% Australian Cattle Dog, 34% German Shepherd, 1% Collie, 1% Bohemian Shepherd, 8% Husky, 3% Chow, and 2% Chihuahua.
He's about 40-45 pounds currently and we don't expect him to get much bigger. He is short and has the build of a Cattle dog.
KIDS
He recently met some young children when he was out for an ice cream with his foster mom. He was good with them though he does jump and may knock smaller kiddos over out of playfulness/excitement. He LOVES people! He’s also been good with 12 year old kids that he has spent time with.
DOGS
Yes, he is good with other dogs. He LOVES to play! He does play a little rough and needs a proper introduction.
CATS
Probably not. We think he’d be a bit too rough on cats and risk their safety.
AGE
Estimated DOB 11/1/23.
OTHER
He LOVES tennis balls He will entertain himself with them if no nobody wants to play. He usually brings them back if you throw them. He LOVES people! He is crate trained and very close to being house trained. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate too! He needs work on leash training. He is a busy boy who will need someone to give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He has the Cattle dog energy. He hasn't been on a lot of car rides but has done well on the few he's been on.
He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
In New England.
