Red is an 8-year-old Red Heeler with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At 65 pounds, he’s not overweight — just a solid, beefy, handsome boy built like a true working dog. Think “big teddy bear” with heeler attitude. Red absolutely adores his people and is happiest when he’s close by — preferably curled up next to you convinced he’s a lap dog. He’s affectionate, loyal, goofy, and loves a good cuddle session. He also comes with one hilarious bonus feature: the boy drools. A lot. And somehow it just adds to his charm. This handsome guy is completely house trained, does great left loose in the home, and is also excellent in a kennel when needed. He walks well on leash, listens well, and thrives with structure and clear leadership. Red is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his people and wants to know what’s expected of him. Like many heelers, Red does best with someone who understands the breed and respects his boundaries. Because loud, chaotic environments make him uncomfortable, he would do best in an adult home or one with older, respectful children who understand dog boundaries. Red loves playing ball, tugging ropes, hanging out with his people, and enjoying the simple things in life. He’s past the wild puppy phase but still has plenty of personality and playfulness left in him. He’s looking for a home that appreciates loyal, intelligent, slightly stubborn cattle dog types — the kind of home that understands that heelers are incredibly rewarding dogs when matched with the right people.
