Festus is a friendly, playful Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler with a real knack for making people laugh and feel at home. The short-coated, harlequin beauty is full of curiosity—always eager to explore new sights and sounds outside, but just as happy snuggled up on the couch with you. Intelligent and athletic, Festus has plenty of energy for playtime, especially if a ball is involved, though he appreciates time to wind down indoors with his people. He isn’t shy about affection, either. This dog loves to hand out kisses and enjoys spending time with other dogs. Festus didn’t have the best start, having been abandoned alongside his sister, but you’d never know it from his cheerful spirit. Now healthy and thriving in rescue, Festus is looking for a permanent home where he can be both your active sidekick and cuddly co-pilot. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
