Mary is a 6-year-old Queensland Heeler/Cattle Dog mix ready to find her forever home after raising her puppies. Weighing 37 lbs, she brings a blend of intelligence, curiosity, and affection to the table. Mary has spent her life with one owner and is now adjusting to her new surroundings, so a patient, experienced adopter would be ideal for her. She enjoys playing fetch, learning new tricks, and solving treat puzzles, but she also loves curling up for cuddles when the day winds down. Given her herding instincts, Mary thrives in an active environment with plenty of structure and exercise. She's vocal when excited or unsure and would greatly benefit from a yard where she can express herself freely. It's important to note that she can be wary of strangers, particularly men, and she prefers respectful dog friends. For this reason, she will do best in a home with kids aged 12 and older. If you're ready for an adventure buddy who also appreciates downtime, Mary is eager to join you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
