Lala turns heads with her blue merle coat and lively personality. She's a young Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler) mix who quickly charms people and seems especially fond of kids at adoption events, curling up sweetly once she's comfortable. Lala has come a long way with her leash skills and is fully housebroken—she uses a doggy door and catches on to routines fast with a little patience. Like many Heelers, she needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Splashing in the pool or chasing the hose is her idea of fun. Lala can be selective with other dogs; shelter staff suggest careful introductions, and she should not live with small animals due to her high prey drive. If you’re familiar with herding breeds and ready to give Lala the structured, active home she needs, she's eager to become someone's loyal companion. All adopters must live within a four-hour drive of Parkville, MO. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
