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 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. He absolutely loves music; his foster brother starts playing guitar, and Aero will sit quietly and listen like your biggest fan. 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 do best in a home with older children and would love a friendly furry sibling or at least opportunities to socialize with other dogs. He is not a fan of cats.
Ongoing Health
Aero has completed heartworm treatment.
Training & Support
Aero still needs some continued training and reassurance, but he's eager to learn and bond with his person. He does have strong herding instincts and may nip from time to time. Like most rescue dogs that have had to fend for themselves on the streets, he will protect his food from other dogs, so he is fed separately in his kennel to ensure there are no scuffles. 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, which is just part of his playful personality!
