Aero is a stunning 2-year-old, 45 lb Heeler mix with a bright mind, playful spirit, and a heart that’s learning how to feel safe and loved. This handsome boy was rescued just in time from a Houston shelter after landing on the euthanasia list simply because he was too scared to walk on a leash. Thanks to a dedicated foster family, Aero got his second chance and he’s been making the most of it ever since. Aero loves music and will sit quietly and listen when his foster brother plays guitar. Music even helps calm him, making it a sweet way to connect with him.
Ideal Home
Aero is smart, active, and thrives when he has structure and routine. He would make an amazing adventure buddy. He does have strong herding instincts and heeler nips from time to time, so we think a family with older kids would be best. He does great with the other dog in his foster home and would love a friendly furry sibling or at least opportunities to socialize with other dogs. He is not a fan of cats. Aero isn't a big fan of the kennel, but given that he's not destructive he doesn't really need it. He may sneak off and hide a shoe or two if given the chance, just part of his playful personality!
Ongoing Health
Aero has completed heartworm treatment.
Training & Support
Aero needs a patient but confident owner who can provide clear guidance and consistency. He still needs some continued training and reassurance, but he’s eager to learn and bond with his person. Like most rescue dogs that have had to fend for themselves on the streets, he can display food aggression. He is fed separately in his kennel to ensure no scuffles. Breed experience or knowledge is required.
