Meet Roo!
If you're looking for a dog that's as smart as she is spirited, this little cattle dog is ready to find her perfect match. Roo has all the traits that make heelers so incredible—loyal, eager to be involved in everything you do, and always ready for the next adventure. Because of her intelligence and drive, cattle dog experience is required. She is not a good fit for first-time dog owners and will not do well in an apartment. She needs an active home that understands the physical and mental exercise this breed requires. Roo is mostly house-trained and fully crate-trained. While she isn't a fan of going into her crate, she settles down quickly and does well once she's inside. She's also not destructive, especially when her mind and body are kept busy. Roo would absolutely thrive in a home with another playful dog who can match her energy. Having a canine companion helps keep her engaged, gives her an outlet for play, and allows her to be the happy, confident dog she's meant to be. As of July 10th, Roo is estimated to be 4 months old and weighs 19lbs.
Ideal Home
Roo needs an experienced cattle dog owner who leads an active lifestyle with plenty of exercise and enrichment. A fenced yard is a must, as she will not do well in an apartment. Another playful, energetic dog would be a huge bonus, and her adopter must be committed to continuing her training and helping her reach her full potential.
Ongoing Health
Roo is currently healthy.
Training & Support
