My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roach is a young heeler mix rescue. He spent a large part of his puppyhood in a cage without proper socialization before we got him, so he needs some work getting used to public settings/new people. He does great with those coming into the house if they sit on the couch and meet him, but is wary in public. He is house trained, working on muzzle training, and his vocabulary expands quickly. He is great for nail trims, will give you his paw and sits still. Accustomed to having his teeth brushed. Very high energy, loves to play fetch, enjoys training. He has made great progress with leash manners. We are rehoming Roach due to career changes giving us very little time for his energy needs, and with maturity he has developed a strong prey drive towards my cat. He grew up around children, is gentle with them, but gets excitable/likes to chase, so may be better suited for older children. He is very affectionate, always wants to be near his people, knows many commands. Comes w/ bowls/bed/crate
