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. 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. Roo is an estimated 4-month-old, 19lb cattle dog mix who 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. 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.
Ideal Home
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, with a fenced yard. Another playful, energetic dog would be a huge bonus, and someone committed to continuing her training and helping her reach her full potential.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Roo is mostly house-trained and fully crate-trained, though she needs encouragement to enter her crate. She is not destructive when kept mentally and physically stimulated. Continued training and enrichment are important for her success.
