Story

Age: 2 years Size: 58 pounds Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Spotty needs a home with: resident dog(s), fenced in yard, no young children Update 7/7: Spotty is super dog social guy who needs to be with other dogs. He absolutely adores every dog he meets. Spotty is still a little reserved around people but has been making huge strides and seems to improve every day! He has gone through professional training to work on self- confidence and is able to go on walks now and trust more than he used to. Spotty is super submissive and needs a home with a very social dog that will hang out and play with him all day. He loves to play with dogs more than anything. Spotty is also house trained and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard as he can get spooked and we don’t want to take chances of him trying to flee. Spotty has endless potential if you give him the time and patience he needs and deserves to come out of his shell! -------- Spotty is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and 45 pounds. He was found as a stray in SC and was completely petrified at the shelter. He sat in a corner shaking and had to be carried just to move out of his kennel. He came to us very nervous and shy but with the help of his canine friends, he is slowly learning to trust and thriving in his foster home. He has also met and done training with our trainer where he is now comfortable going for walks on a leash and exploring the outdoors! Spotty gains comfort from other dogs, so he requires a home with a friendly resident dog to help show him the ropes. Spotty would do best in a home without young children as he is still gets timid around new people and retreats. With time and patience, he will show his new family how goofy and happy he really is. All he needs is someone who is understands that just needs a little time to know he is safe. His best quality..... he is AMAZING with other dogs and wants to be their best friend. If you have a dog that has been wanting a sibling, Spotty is your guy! To adopt Spotty, please apply on our website! www.keytolionsheart.org/adopt Please note we cannot guarantee the breed or adult size of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. November 4, 2024, 12:43 pm

Story

Meet Mishka -- a 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix. Another name for the Australian Cattle Dog is a Blue Heeler, referring to the color of the coat. We do not know what he might be mixed with. He is on the small side, weighing about 35 pounds. Mishka is a happy, healthy, active little man who gets along well with most dogs and cats that he has met. Mishka is very smart, house-trained, and loves to learn. Since coming into foster care, he has learned how to sit, lie down, leave it, trade, how to jump up into a car and ride quietly, how to sit for his dinner bowl, and how to play “touch.” Like most herding dogs, he is wary of new people and things, but he acclimates quickly. He has a clear preference for women, but he warms up easily to men who sit quietly and offer cookies. He enjoys chasing balls, but not necessarily to retrieve them (he actually likes to demolish tennis balls!) He likes a good game of tug. Miska is an angel on the leash, walking close to his person with no tugging. Like most herding dogs, Mishka has a lively bark and lots to say. He is learning the “quiet” cue, and his barking has diminished greatly in foster care. He also tends to resource guard food, although he has learned “leave it” and “trade” very easily. He will counter surf, so keeping food items safely out of reach is important. Mishka’s breed requires exercise, so placement in an active home is essential. He should have a securely fenced yard for potty breaks, but he will need at least one long walk every day. Time spent jogging, hiking, or playing dog sports would be a wonderful outlet for his boundless energy. With his proven trainability, Mishka would make a terrific training partner for agility, advanced obedience training, treibball, flyball, or similar activities. Lots of exercise and mental stimulation will help to prevent boredom, barking, and destructive behaviors. The Australian Cattle Dog was bred to work and run for many hours and miles a day. He is not by nature a couch potato. Overall, Mishka is an adorable small guy with lots of potential as a family member and as a playmate. He would NOT be suitable for apartment/condo/townhome living due to his barking behavior. Miska bonds very closely with his person; his ideal placement would have someone at home with him most of the time. Because of his love for counter surfing and his breed-related energy and herding instinct, we do not recommend him for a home with small children.

Story

Meet Mooney! He is an incredibly smart, 48 lb, 5.5 year old cattle dog mix who was given up by his previous owner due to her illness. He loves people, playing with his doggie friends and being a goofball. The sofa is his favorite piece of furniture, but he will settle in a crate, on a cool wood floor, lounge in a water trough or snooze in the car. In spite of being nearly middle-aged, he still has lots of bounce and energy to run, jump and explore. He has been introduced to some agility work and caught on right away. Being food-motivated, training is a breeze. Mooney knows Sit, Wait, Down, Crate, Roll Over, Off, Gently and Come. He has the intelligence and focus of a cattle dog, the silliness of a boxer and the cuddly nature of a pittie. He seeks the affection and companionship of his people. Mooney will need a large fenced yard to keep his active brain engaged and humans with time to keep him exercised and entertained. He is a confident dude who would love to live with other playful, balanced dogs or be an only dog. He will do best in a home with savvy dog owners who are interested in providing him with structure, interesting things to do and learn, and appreciate his zest for life. Mooney is house and crate trained. Mooney is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.
