Casper Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Paso Robles, CA

Cattle dog mix puppy, maleHi there, Casper (male) here. I've spent the last month in foster, learning how to be a (domestic) dog. You see I somehow managed to survive life in the wild as a stray tiny tot without starving or getting sick. Some good Samaritans brought me to CCHDR hoping they could teach me all about the delights of home life. I am learning that humans are there to lead, love and provide food, structure and safety. I have proven to be a Velcro dog, but not quite a lap dog. You see touch isn't really my love language (yet), but I always want to be next to my person and included in everything like trips to the kitchen, bathroom, taking out the trash, movies on the couch, car rides, etc. I am housebroken (no accidents; no destruction) and walk great on leash. I also have some basic commands under my belt, like sit, stay, and come, which means I'm super smart according to my foster mom (see video). Oh, and I get the wiggles for my 7-year-old human foster sibling who calls me "mini buds."
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:
I need a person or family with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. Knowledge and experience working with feral dogs a plus. Having another balanced dog(s) in the home is a requirement as of now.
ABOUT:
- Cattle dog mix
- Male
- 4 months old
- 15 lbs (likely won't exceed 20lbs full grown)
- Microchipped, on a vaccine schedule and can go home on a neuter contract
Showing a feral dog the way to good citizenship is a commitment of time and often resources but yields the highest reward. Ask anyone who has ever done it.
