KITA (fka WYNONA) Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Shepherd Mix Loveland, CO

Meet KITA (formerly Wynona)!

This sweet shepherd/heeler? mix is about 13 months old, 50 lbs., with medium energy level. She can be timid at first, but warms up quickly and is good with other dogs. She is an absolute snuggler and full of puppy nibbles and curiosity! She met a cat and was curious, but did not chase. Most of her days were at a shelter, so she is just now discovering how to be a family member and she has already mastered many commands. She is housetrained, using a doggie door, and loves to be in the yard. She would do best with someone who works from home, as she doesn't care to be confined to a crate for long periods of time (though her foster has been working on this with her and she is improving), but will nap in one freely, with the door open. She is doing great on a leash and hasn't barked much, has not been destructive, and shares her toys.

Kita will need an owner who is experienced with heeler/shepherd breeds. Though she does wonderfully outside the home greeting strangers, she is territorial in the home and will need considerable training to get her comfortable with strangers being in the home. Although she will need some patience and gentle guidance, this girl is truly delightful and once she trusts you, which doesn't take long, she will love you to the moon and back!

Kita will need a house with a yard. We do not think she would do well with apartment living.
