Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a 10-week-old Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler) mix weighing about 7 pounds, and I may be the runt of my litter, but I carry myself like a tiny princess. I’m dainty, gentle, and very sweet, and my favorite place to be is close to my people. My foster says whenever she walks around the house, I follow right behind her, and the second she stops moving, I sit politely at her feet all on my own. I’m the kind of puppy that’s impossible not to fall in love with. I’m being fostered in Beverly Hills, Michigan. Right now, I’m a little more timid than my bigger, rowdier siblings, but my foster thinks my personality is really going to blossom once I’m in a home of my own. Even now, you can already see how observant, thoughtful, and eager to bond I am. I’ve been wonderful with my foster’s 5-year-old son and am very gentle during playtime. Like my siblings, I sometimes show normal Heeler puppy mouthing behavior, but I redirect easily and am already learning quickly. I’m also very confident around other animals—I’m not intimidated by large dogs at all, and I’ve shown no interest in chasing the cat. I’m making excellent progress with potty training and am such a smart little puppy. Because I’m still young, I’ll need continued help with puppy basics like crate training, structure, and consistency as I grow. If you love the softer, sweeter side of herding breeds, I may absolutely steal your heart. I’ll come fully vetted for my age, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and I’m ready to find my forever family.
