A little about them

Meet Pato, an approximately 8-month-old Texas Heeler mix weighing 25–30 pounds. This playful, cuddly, and affectionate boy loves roughhousing with canine friends, lounging in laps, and joining his family on walks and outings.

Pato is initially timid and talkative in unfamiliar situations, but he is gaining confidence with patience, consistency, and positive exposure. He would thrive with an active family and another energetic dog who enjoys his playful style.

Ideal Home

Pato is good with dogs, cats, and children. He enjoys canine companionship and should do well in a family environment with continued guidance during play, as he occasionally uses his mouth when excited.
