Meet Aero!
Aero is a stunning 2-year-old, 45 lb Heeler mix with a bright mind, playful spirit, and a heart that's learning 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. Like many Heelers, Aero is smart, active, and thrives when he has structure and routine. He has come a long way and now walks well on a leash, rides great in the car, and would make an amazing adventure buddy. Whether it's a walk, a road trip, or just hanging out in the yard, Aero is happy to be part of the action or to entertain himself with toys and solo play. He does have strong herding instincts and nips from time to time, and for that reason, we think a family with older kids would be best. He has been fostered in a home with a 9-year-old, whom he quickly became besties with. 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.
Ideal Home
Aero does best with a patient but confident owner who can provide clear guidance and consistency. He would do best in a home with older children due to his herding instincts.
Ongoing Health
Aero has completed heartworm treatment.
Training & Support
Aero will protect his food from other dogs and is fed separately in his kennel to ensure no scuffles occur. He is not a big fan of the kennel, but he doesn't need it as he is not destructive. He may sneak off and hide a shoe or two if given the chance, which is just part of his playful personality! Aero still needs some continued training and reassurance but is eager to learn and bond with his person.
