About Freckles

Freckles is the ultimate trail buddy. This affectionate Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix thrives when he's by your side, whether you're enjoying a leisurely walk in town or hitting the trails. He walks well on a leash and has a solid recall, thanks to his time with his foster mom. Freckles is loyal and loving, but he needs a patient adopter to help him regain confidence around new people, especially in public spaces. When overstimulated, he may nip to express he wants to play or doesn't want you to leave, so understanding his cues is essential. Freckles gets along well with most dogs and would excel in an active home that offers plenty of opportunities for exercise and adventure. However, he is not a fan of cats. His personality is huge, despite his smaller size, making him a delightful companion. Currently in a foster home, you might spot him enjoying walks at a local park. Be sure to reach out to the shelter to arrange a meet-and-greet, and let Freckles show you what a great friend he could be!
