Male Cattle Dog/Heeler Mix

 

10 weeks ( est born 05/02/22)

 

Current weight 13 pounds

 

He will be a medium size (40-60 lbs) dog when fully grown.

 

He loves to play with the big dog in his foster home and his ideal home would have  another dog to help with socialization.  

 

Tong is an affectionate puppy and loves to sit in your lap.  He seeks out attention and loves to be held.  He loves being outside and is curious about everything.

 He is really starting to enjoy playing with all kinds of toys.

 

He hasn't been in his foster home long, but he really seems to be getting the potty training thing down.  He has already picked up on ringing the bells on the door to be let outside to go potty.  As long as his forever family continues to work with him, he should have it mastered in no time.  He is treat motivated so he knows the commands "sit' and "come" and should pick up on new commands quickly.  

 

Tong is currently sleeping in a puppy pen and doesn't make any noises during the night.  His foster mom is hopeful this means he will sleep quietly in his kennel as he begins his kennel training.

 

Tong will be available for adoption July 24th after his neuter, microchipping & 2nd round of puppy shots.
