Meet Rougaroo Male Lab x Heeler Mix Born 4/5/2026 Part puppy. Part swamp legend. All heart. Rougaroo is an adorable Lab x Heeler mix with a big personality, a playful spirit, and the kind of face that makes people instantly stop and smile. Born on 4/5/2026, this handsome little guy is expected to grow into a medium to large-sized dog when fully grown. Currently thriving in foster care with his littermates, Rougaroo is curious, goofy, and always ready to investigate whatever fun is happening nearby. He's the kind of puppy who bounces through life with joyful confidence, then crashes hard for the world's most dramatic puppy nap. Like any good Louisiana "Rougaroo," he's a little wild, a little mischievous, and completely unforgettable - but unlike the legend, this one just wants belly rubs, snacks, and someone to love him forever.

Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee.
