Woody is a sweet, curious 11-week-old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix with a heart full of love for his people. Born on April 20, 2026, this 13-pound bundle of energy is expected to reach a medium size when fully grown. Woody thrives on companionship and is looking for a family that can match his playful spirit. His breed is known for its intelligence and high energy levels, so Woody needs a home that can provide him with plenty of physical and mental stimulation to keep him happy and engaged. He enjoys playing with toys and gets along well with his littermates.
Ideal Home
Woody's ideal home is with an active family who understands the needs of a high-energy breed like the Australian Cattle Dog. He would do best in a home that can commit to consistent, positive training and socialization. Due to his breed's tendency to nip and herd, homes with small children may not be the best fit, as rough play could trigger his herding instincts. Potential adopters should research the breed to ensure they are prepared for the commitment.
Ongoing Health
Woody is currently up-to-date on his puppy vaccinations, with his second round administered. He will need a third and fourth set of vaccinations after adoption. He is scheduled to be neutered and microchipped before his adoption date.
Training & Support
Woody is working on pad training and will need continued potty training in his new home. He has already learned basic commands such as "sit," "no," and "come." He is currently sleeping through the night in a puppy pen and shows promise for successful crate training. Early training and socialization are a must for this bright and motivated pup.
