Meet Tito!
Tito is an approximately 2-year-old, 40-pound Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix with a striking appearance and an unforgettable personality. His beautiful black-and-white coat, speckled markings on his face and paws, tall alert ears, and mesmerizing amber eyes make him absolutely stunning in person. One of Tito's eyes even has multicolored marbling, giving him an especially unique and captivating look that perfectly matches his intelligent and soulful expression. Tito forms an incredibly deep connection with his people. Once he trusts you, he loves with his entire heart and wants nothing more than to stay close to his person. He naturally keeps an eye on the people he loves, almost as if he feels responsible for them. His devotion runs deep, and he thrives on companionship, connection, and feeling included in his humans' daily life.
This smart boy loves long walks, adventures, exploring new places, and spending quality time with his favorite humans. Tito is highly intelligent and thrives when both his mind and body are engaged. He absolutely loves puzzle toys, Kongs stuffed with treats, chew toys, and enrichment activities that allow him to problem-solve and work for rewards. He is eager to learn and enjoys having a job to do.
Ideal Home
Tito would do best as the only dog, with a female dog, or with an experienced adopter who fully understands dog behavior, structure, and proper management. He does not do well with dominant dogs, particularly male dogs that challenge him. Tito needs slow introductions, patience, and someone willing to understand his personality and earn his trust.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions mentioned.
Training & Support
Tito is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He is very treat-motivated and would thrive with continued obedience training, structure, and clear boundaries. Tito does best with someone experienced with intelligent working breeds who understands that dogs like him need consistency, leadership, and mental stimulation to truly flourish. Like many loyal and protective working breeds, Tito can be cautious around strangers, especially in situations where he feels unsure or overwhelmed. In fearful or uncomfortable situations, he may bark or growl to communicate discomfort and create space.
