Fat Boy - Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler Dog

Shelter: BC SPCA - Maple Ridge Animal ID: 473158 Birthdate: October 11, 2010 - Senior Spayed/Neutered: No Male Fred is one special guy looking for a special home. At 8yrs old he is looking for love and companionship. Fred absolutely loves going for walks, in fact he kind of walks himself. He loves being petted and likes to snuggle. Fred is nervous when at the vet. His new guardian(s) will need to work on this with their vet by using desensitization methods i.e. go visit the vet/groomer a few times before any treatments take place so that Fred associates positive things with his visits to the vet. Although he is 8yrs old, Fred can still be pretty excitable and has some separation anxiety. He is looking for a home with; experienced adults, a calm consistent routine, and lots of time for exercise. Fred is on the larger size so diet and exercise will need to continue in his new home. Dog savvy kids 12+ would be ok. Fred seems to like other dogs and lived with cats in his previous home. As he is a herding breed he could potentially herd the cats. To meet this lovely guy, come to the BC SPCA Maple Ridge Branch!
