Cattle Dog / Hound / Mixed : : Male : : Baby : : Medium
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.
Spot is a male Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler/hound-mix puppy, abandoned on a 100-degree day with 8 siblings on a remote country highway. We estimate his birth date at June 20, 2010. He is about 24 inches at the shoulder and weighed about 60 lb., as of mid-January. He will likely be a 70+ lb. dog at maturity. He is parasite-free, fully vaccinated, neutered and house-trained. Spot is relaxed, sweet, affectionate, and plays well with other non-aggressive dogs. He does pretty well with cats too. His velour-like coat makes him exquisitely huggable, and he loves hugs. We recently realized that Spot is deaf, so he is being trained to respond to hand-signals. He is obviously intelligent, since he has functioned quite well prior to the discovery of his hearing impairment. Spot is very food-motivated and eager to please, so he should prove quite trainable, given time and patience. **This pet is currently located in Arkansas. Once adopted, transport will be arranged. Our transport makes stops in NH, NJ, CT, MD, & PA. The total adoption donation is $400, which includes the transport fee. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please contact Kelley@adoptastrayrescue.com Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.
