Artie Labrador Retriever & Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Artie! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Playful, energetic, silly, vocal
-Can Live with Kids: Yes, any age
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history - with a proper and slow introduction. I would likely be overwhelming for any shy or senior cats who prefer to be left alone.
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, I could potentially live with a PUPPY-TOLERANT dog after an initial introduction at the shelter and a prolonged introduction process in the home.
-Can do Apartment Living: Yes, with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
-Potty Trained: No
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, a 6-week puppy course
-Energy Level: high! I will need lots of exercise, playtime and mental stimulation!
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No, I am ready to go home!

Additional Information: Artie is an energetic and cuddly pup! He will need a dedicated person/family willing to work on his training to ensure he becomes a well-rounded adult dog. Puppies require a lot more attention and dedication than most adult dogs - Artie's future adopters must be ready to give him everything he needs to be successful. He will need a home where someone is present most of the time as puppies do not do well being left alone for long hours. Artie will likely be an active adult and will need an owner who is just as active! If you would like to meet/adopt Artie, the first step is submitting an adoption application. Our staff will then review your application to ensure it's a good match.
