Sprocket is a handsome 2-1/2 year old male Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler who was surrendered by his owner on October 19, 2024.
Sprocket may look familiar to many of our HSOV volunteers and Facebook followers since he originally came to our shelter on April 13, 2024 and was kept safe for his owner in hopes that he would eventually be able to take Sprocket if housing/landlord issues were resolved. Sprocket's status was changed to adoptable in early July 2024 since his original owner was unable to take him back.
This good-looking boy has a shiny black-and-white medium-haired coat with blue ticking, a long tail with a white tip on the end, and a beautiful symmetrically-marked Blue Heeler face with hopeful trusting eyes, a black button nose, and large erect ears. Sprocket has natural wavy hair.
Sprocket has a friendly, outgoing personality. He is good with cats and also with other dogs. Sprocket has a fun-loving disposition and is full of playful puppy-like energy .. And is an accomplished 'fence climber' so he requires a little supervision.
These pictures were taken on April 14, 2024 when HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren spent time with him outdoors for his 'glamour photos'. Sprocket posed like a Westminster Show Dog for Emma and also gave her the nicest hugs and sweet kisses.
Sprocket weighs 42.6 lbs and walks well on a leash.
Sprocket was neutered on July 2, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
This sweet boy went home with a foster family on July 12, 2024 and was officially adopted on July 14, 2024.
Sprocket came back to HSOV on October 19, 2024 and is once again looking for the perfect home. His owner reported that Sprocket is still good with other dogs as well as cats ... And he is still an 'accomplished fence climber/jumper' and also exhibits some puppy-like chewing behavior. Sprocket has some separation anxiety issues and does not like to be left alone.
