Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! I am one of six heeler pups (5 boys and 1 girl) that were rescued from Alabama after the unexpected litter from a family's "purebred" Australian Cattle Dog. No one is sure what other breeds we are, other than cute! We were born on December 7th, 2018, so we are staying with our littermates at Found Chicago Boarding and Training Center getting some fun exposure to people, other dogs, and working on our drive development with toys so our new owners will be able to exercise us when we grow up!
My name is Tabor and I'm the most cautious of my siblings. My handlers think it's because I'm wicked smart and like to observe before diving in. I have incredible eye contact and will lick with the gentlest tongue and melt your heart. Don't let me fool you, though! I can be crazy and playful too! I like tug and ball toys just like the rest of my litter. I have medium-high food drive and follow a lure well. I would do well as an active pet with a family, and perhaps a dog sibling to keep my confidence growing as I mature. I'm a really good boy who does his best to do the right thing and I would be very excited to be part of your routine and day to day activity!
If you are considering adopting me or any of my siblings, it is preferred that my new family have experience and knowledge of herding breeds like Australian Cattle Dogs. We are not the breed for everyone, as we need consistent exercise and challenge as we grow into adults. Please ensure you are ready for the time and effort a puppy like us will need.
With our adoption fee, you can attend a Found Chicago Boarding and Training course for FREE. Email brittney@caninesandcompany.org with any questions or concerns you have about me or any of my siblings.
