About Alex

Meet Alex, a lively Australian Cattle Dog mix brimming with energy and enthusiasm. This smart boy has gone through the FIDO training program, making him a quick learner. Alex loves to be out and about, whether that's on walks, runs, hikes, or simply exploring the backyard. An active home where he can stretch his legs would make him absolutely flourish. Alex enjoys the company of other dogs and has had plenty of playdates with his furry friends. While he's had some encounters with cats and loves a good chase, a home without smaller animals like chickens or goats may suit him best. If you're seeking a loyal companion who can also be a cuddle buddy, Alex could be your perfect match. Give Heartland a call to schedule a meet and greet with him. He eagerly awaits a chance to find his forever family! 🐾
