Grits Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Waco, TX

Grits is a beautiful dog! He’s a true Velcro pup who loves to be with his people. Grits is a medium-energy boy. He enjoys walks, fetch, and swimming adventures but is happy to snuggle and relax on quieter days. Grits is kennel trained, house trained, good on a leash, and knows basic commands like sit, down, and shake.

Grits gets along well with dog-savvy cats. He shows some interest in greeting and following cats but is gentle and respects their boundaries. He responds well to “no cats” for redirection. Grits loves his foster doggie brother and has been around other dogs. He does well with slow introductions.

We believe Grits would be great in a home with older children or no children. When very excited, he can sometimes forget his manners and jump. Grits eats a special food that is available at most vet clinics or pet stores. We are happy to discuss this in more detail and offer assistance for dietary maintenance for the right home.

Grits is about 6 years old, weighs 36 pounds, and has a docked tail. He's neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has tested negative for heartworms and is on monthly flea and heartworm prevention.
