Meet Batman - In Foster Care @ Training Facility
UPDATE: Batman is currently being fostered at a Training Facility. We need to have an approved adoption application on hand before we can set up a time for you to meet him at their facility.
Meet Batman! Batman is a 6 (ish) year old male Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who is looking for a very particular type of home.
Batman is in many ways a very typical cattle dog. You MUST know and love the breed to understand Batman. He is bossy, opinionated, sassy, and will definitely use his mouth if/when he feels the need. Because of this, he may not be appropriate with young children. He lived with 2 other dogs and 2 cats in his previous home,
In other ways, Batman isn't as confident as you'd expect a heeler to be. He actually has quite an insecure side to him, and may nip if he feels scared. During his vet exam, he was muzzled for safety but he turned into a puddle when the vet was scratching his back...he even leaned in for more! Turns out, Batman is more sensitive than he leads on ;)
Because of Batman's quirks, an experienced, open-minded owner is preferred. It would also be a plus if his new family was willing to work with a trainer to overcome some of these things. His family should expect to give him PLENTY of time to settle in and adjust.
We're not saying these things to scare people away, but we feel that it's necessary to be very up front with you about how he is, while also understanding how much potential he has! Again, if you know, understand and appreciate true Heelers and all they come with, most of Batman's traits won't surprise you.
Batman is neutered and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $150.00
We can schedule a time for you to meet Batman after an adoption application has been approved:
