Meet Rowdy, one of our cutest fellas at the shelter!
Rowdy is a 4 month old Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix. He's active and super lovable. Rowdy came to us alongside his two sisters, Francis and Chloe (who have their own listings here on our website). They were surrendered to us through no fault of their own. They were the result of an accidental pregnancy, and their owner just couldn't keep all of the pups. So, now they're here looking for their forever homes!
Out of the three siblings, Rowdy has been the most social so far. The shelter is a stressful place for any animal, and it usually takes a while for a new animal to feel comfortable. Rowdy is trying his hardest to be brave, and is already starting to open up. With some patience and time, Rowdy will blossom into a loving little gentleman.
Rowdy, still being a puppy, has not gotten very far in his training. While he is learning to sit on command, that's about all he knows. He is not housebroken, and still jumps on people. He is young enough that he shouldn't give you much trouble with training, but it will just take some dedicaiton to get him to a good point. If you've ever been aorund this breed, you know that they are known for their intelligence - however, they're also known for having a little sass. Their personalities are part of what makes you love them, but they sometimes require more patience than other dogs. These breeds are also known for being high energy, and will need owners that can help them stay active so they aren't misbehaving out of boredom.
Rowdy has grown up around his littermates and got along well with them. He has not been tested with any other dogs, however, or any cats. While Rowdy has met some kids in passing and did fine with them, he has not spent any long amount of time with children. Rowdy is still a puppy, and with proper training and socialization he likely would be able to adjust to new circumstances. We still always recommend a meet and greet with any pets or kids in the home prior to adoption so you can be sure this dog would be the right one for you.
Rowdy has received his first round of vaccinations and is ready to go home! If you think this pup could be the one for you, stop by and meet him today!
