Ladybug's Story

🚨AH... GIRLHOOD🚨<br/><br/>There’s nothing more feminine than diving into muddy ponds, rolling in poop, and pouncing on your foster siblings. This is LADYBUG! Ladybug is a 16 week old heeler mix looking for a best friend who will let her live out her tomboy dreams. Like a typical cattle dog she will be very loyal and attached to her person. She is currently displaying medium herding drive and will be looking for an adopter who is experienced with herding breeds and can offer an assertive yet gentle hand on training. She gets along with other dogs, has already mastered crate and leash training, does great for grooming, and rides well in the car. She will need a home with a secure fence, children 12+, and no access to poultry. She would do best with at least one other young, playful dog in the home and no senior or toy sized dogs to terrorize. She currently weighs 16 pounds and will most likely mature somewhere between 30 & 45 pounds, though we cannot guarantee her adult size.
