Estimated size as adult - medium
Rooter and his two litter mates were rescued from a kill shelter on 11/7. He has settled into his foster home very nicely. This handsome fella will make a wonderful companion and protector for a very lucky family. He's so smart and sweet!! He quickly learned how to sit and to shake on command. He's working on his house manners and doing well. At adoption events, he's very outgoing and eager to make friends. He gets much attention with his wonderful personality. Rooter would love nothing more than to have a family to cherish him. He deserves nothing less.
Rooter is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, dewormed, on heartworm preventative, and treated for fleas/ticks. The adoption donation is $165.
If you're interested in giving Rooter a loving FOREVER home, please complete an application via our website, www.cofas.org. If you have questions, you can email me (his foster mom) at fostermomjudy@gmail.com.
Australian cattle dogs (aka blue heelers or red heelers) are known for their keen intelligence and energetic disposition. They are NOT well suited for a "couch potato" lifestyle. They require daily activities that exercise both mind and body; therefore, they're best with an active human companion - great for agility, endurance sports such as hiking, or other dog friendly activities/sports. ACDs are typically affectionate, playful, and form a strong bond with their owner (which can make them quite protective). They require minimal grooming and are not year round shedders.
