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 is approximately 4 months old and weighs around 19lbs as of July 10th. She 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. 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. She isn't the right dog for everyone, but for the right family, she'll be an incredibly loyal companion who will stick by your side through every adventure.
