Story
Hi I’m Bluey, a two-year-old Australian Cattle dog with a medium coat and a heart as big as the Outback! I’ve been through a lot, but I’m ready to find my forever home with someone who understands me inside and out.
First things first, let’s talk introductions. I’m a bit shy around new dogs, so I’ll need a slow and gentle approach when meeting my furry pals. But once I get to know them, I’m sure we’ll be the best of mates! I do NOT do well with small animals, they say I have a high prey drive. I can not live in a home with small animals like cats, bunnies, birds and rodents.
Now, let’s talk about my strength. Despite my petite 35-pound frame, I’m as strong as an ox! So, when we’re out and about, it’s important to keep an eye on me, especially in unfamiliar places like the pet store or the vet’s office.
Speaking of being out and about, I’m a total social butterfly when it comes to people. I’ve spent time with both adults and kids, but I’ll admit, I can get a bit too excited and jump up on the little ones. So, it’s best if I’m around older kids who can handle my exuberance.
One thing I absolutely adore is gazing out the window. There’s something about watching the world go by that fills my heart with joy. And when you call my name, you can bet I’ll come running – I’m a good listener like that.
Now, let’s talk about my home setup. I’m totally house-trained and crate trained, so you won’t have to worry about any accidents while you’re away. And when it’s time for bed, you can find me snoozing away on the couch – it’s my favorite spot in the house! A home with a fenced yard would be best for me; I'm a fun loving girl but safety is a priority!
As for toys, I’m a big fan of anything I can sink my teeth into. But those soft toys? Let’s just say they don’t last long around me! I much prefer antlers and Nylabones, especially when they’re filled with delicious peanut butter.
In short, I’m a loving, loyal companion who’s ready to bring endless joy and laughter into your life. If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a furry friend to share adventures with, I’m your girl!
