Dusty Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Springfield, MO

Look me in the eye and you will see your forever best friend looking back! I am Dusty, and I am a darling 9 week old heeler mix puppy. I may be small right now, but I am going to grow up to be a medium sized boy. Right now I am working on house, crate training and simple commands. As you can guess, I have lots of playful energy. I get along with humans and other dogs, and, as young as I am, I will most likely do fine with dog-savvy cats too (though I haven't met any yet. I will need a home with a privacy fenced yard and plenty of exercise and training as I grow. No apartments for me.

I belong to a working breed that is known to be super smart and eager to learn and to please. I would love a family to go on adventures to dog friendly places with. Another dog and/or kid would be great too, but not a requirement. Puppies are a lot of work and I will need kindness, patience and discipline in order to grow into the best dog we can be! Ready to meet your bestie?

**As a reminder, puppies will need lots of time and attention during the first year. Before adopting me, please make sure that you have enough time, energy and commitment to devote to my training. Puppies need a lot of care, so everyone in your household should be on board and ready to help out**

My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
