About Chief

PLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. In foster in Tumwater, WA CHIEF is a 32# Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) male that is about 3 yrs old (best guess by our vet). He is a lively and happy dog. He loves to play with other dogs and the introduction time is almost not needed for him. He is housetrained. He is weary of cats but if they run he will chase. We are working on that and he is learning some house rules. As much as his teeth tell us he is about 3yrs old, his happiness and activity level says he's younger. On a scale of 1-10, I would put him at about a 7. He is happy and asks for love and attention. He is okay on the leash...not yet 'good' but we're working on it. He doesn't mind the leash but he does want to go and have fun. With one day in our house, he was running outside with our pack of house dogs and coming in when called. He is very smart and willing to please. Most Heelers love water and would be great for water adventures. Heelers are a major cross of the Border Collie (for their brains) and the Australian Dingo (a wild dog that is very sturdy and healthy). Other breeds were included in the background to include Dalmatian (which is why the puppies are born all white then develop their spots and colors during the next year), and even Kelpie and English Bull Dog. The Blue Heeler holds the Guinness Book of Records for longevity...a dog named Bluey at 29yrs 5 mos. The Heeler's personality is a lot like the Border Collie... very dedicated to their owner; a need to work...or be busy. They are like all dogs, though, that they need socialization with other dogs and other people. (Check out on YouTube about the Blue Heeler called Skid Boot). Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.
