About Dollar Joe

Australian Cattle Dog mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

DJ (short for Dollar Joe) is an approximately one-year-old, 32-lb, male heeler mix currently being fostered in Clearwater, FL (Pinellas County). DJ was picked up in a parking lot at a Dollar General Store in Starke, FL, hence his catchy name. We don't know how long he had been living on the street, but he is people (men and women) and dog friendly (cats unknown). He has a timid, gentle personality but shows some spunk when he feels comfortable in his space. He enjoyed chasing and wrestling with his foster sister who was twice his size. He has substantial hair loss on the spine, at the base of his tail, on his rear legs and a small area underneath his chin, possibly from living collared and tethered. DJ will need a home with a fenced yard, as he is fearful of walking on leash. With time and gentle training, he will overcome this fear. DJ is house trained but does not like being enclosed in a crate. We think he will do well in a home with another dog or dogs to play with, as he adjusts to life in a home again. He has not shown a tendency for resource guarding with food and water but can get possessive of toys. He is affectionate and loving and will happily sit by your side for pets and belly rubs. DJ is vaccinated, neutered and heartworm negative. DJ requires a home with an active, young and playful dog in the home AND a fenced yard (not a dog park).
