Story
Lucky is a 6-year-old Heeler who was adopted as a young puppy in 2020 and is now looking for a new forever home due to changed family circumstances, through no fault of his own. He’s currently around 85 lbs and is doing well on a structured weight-loss journey, so his future family will need to be committed to continuing healthy routines, regular walks, and mindful portions.Lucky previously lived with cats and did well with them. While he was not socialized with other dogs early in life, he has made great progress in his foster home and is doing well with calm dogs when introductions are slow and thoughtful. He has no prior experience with children, so any potential match should keep that in mind.In his foster home, Lucky is thriving. He is housebroken, shows good manners, and is actively working on improving his obedience skills. He benefits from structure and consistency and continues to show how eager he is to learn.One of Lucky’s most endearing traits is his love of “conversation” with his people, especially when he believes his meal is late or that he urgently deserves a treat right now. His expressive personality, sweet nature, and growing confidence make him a truly special companion.Lucky is looking for a patient, committed home that will support his continued progress, celebrate his milestones, and give him the loving second chance he deserves.🍀 Good with calm dogs with slow introductions🍀 Lived successfully with cats🍀 Housebroken🍀 Leash Trained🍀 On a successful weight-loss journey🍀 Working on obedience skills🍀 Big personality, bigger heartIf you’re ready to invest in Lucky’s health, happiness, and future, he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick 💙Name: Lucky - LOCALBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue HeelerSex: MaleAge: 6 years (estimated)Weight: 85.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: UnknownGood with Dogs: SelectiveGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $450.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently: New England IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
