Story
My name’s Rooster, and I’m a 3-year-old Red Heeler with the coolest coloring (just like my name)! I came to the shelter with my sister, Birdie, and we’ve been through a lot together, so it’d be awesome if we could find a home where we both get to stay, but I can also go solo if I need to.
I’m a playful boy, but I’m not all wild energy. I’ve got a calm side too—especially when I’m hanging out with people I trust. I’m smart, loyal, and full of curiosity, always ready to explore and get involved in whatever you’re doing. But, let’s be honest, I’m also a dog who likes to have a purpose. Being a Heeler, I really thrive when I’ve got a job to do, whether it’s herding, playing games, or learning new things. If you’ve got a ranch or even a big yard where I can run and burn off some of my energy, we’ll be a perfect match!
I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and a pro on a leash. I know how to “sit” and “place” when I need to, and toys? Oh, I love them! Whether it's fetch or a tug-of-war, I’m all in. Training is something I enjoy, and I’ll be ready to learn new things, especially if there’s a job involved!
I’m super dog-specific, which means I get along best with a single dog household—unless I get to hang out with my sister, Birdie, of course. I’m not sure how I feel about cats, but I do have some experience with livestock, so I’m all about the herd life. I’ll be loyal to my family for life, but it’ll take me a little while to warm up to strangers. Once I know you’re “my person,” I’m all in—trustworthy, loving, and ready to have your back.
I think I’d do best in a home with kids aged 10 and up. I’ve got some herding tendencies, so I like to be in charge sometimes, and I need a family who can respect my space when I need it. But once I know you, I’m a loyal buddy who’s up for any adventure!
If you’ve got a ranch, room for me to run, and a loving heart to offer, I’d love to meet you! Let’s see if we’re a perfect match.
