Capriccio Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Lenoir, NC

Meet Capriccio

This sweet measure of music is dancing her way into her foster's heart.
With a guesstimated birthday in Aug. 2021, Capriccio weighed about 30 lb at her spay in March 2022.
She is a happy girl but is easily intimidated by new experiences. She would like to be with her people, but they need to give her opportunities to learn to trust they'll keep her safe.
Capriccio is comfy in a 42" crate which allows her room to sprawl. She doesn't make a mess overnight but will want to go out as soon as her people are awake.
She needs to work on her leash manners as she gets excited and pulls. She also is nervous in the car but would rather go with her peeps than stay home.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, heartworm (HW) test, HW prevention, and deworming if recommended by our vet.

Puppies will have two vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm prevention if age-appropriate. An additional fee for the 3rd puppy vaccination and rabies vaccination, if administered, will be added to the adoption fee.

If you are adopting an intact dog, a refundable spay/neuter deposit is required, and a vet reference may be required.

Scheduled Meet & Greets occur on Saturdays in our Adoption Center at Waggin' Tail Resale (220 Joyceton Church Road) in Lenoir between 11am & 3:00pm. Additional times may be available depending on schedules of Adoption Counselors and Foster Parents. Shelter Dogs can be seen on Saturdays from 12pm-3:30pm, or by appointment. To request an appointment, e-mail: info@foothillscaninerescue.org. We will respond within 24-48 hours M-F.
