Meet Tadpole, a little dynamo with a big heart and a unique story. This tiny guy came to us in July, battling severe malnutrition and parasites, and he initially faced some tough challenges. His tail had been docked with an open wound, but as he has healed, his vibrant personality shines brighter each day. At about three months old, Tadpole is already neutered and full of energy. He shows signs of being a working dog mix, possibly with some blue heeler in him. His intelligence is impressive; he knows basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down, and walks well on a leash. He thrives on activity and prefers to be engaged constantly—whether with human family members or other dogs. Ideal for an active household, Tadpole requires ongoing training to channel his herding instincts effectively. He does well with cats and has a playful spirit with other dogs, but he can be a bit nippy during play, so a patient dog friend would help him learn boundaries. His foster mom is eager to connect and see if Tadpole would be the right fit for your family. Ready to meet your new companion? Apply now!
