Ziva Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Norton, MA

If you’re looking for a sweet, sassy, and silly dog that will absolutely adore you, meet you in all of your feelings, and look at you like you’re their whole world, look no further than Ziva, the 40 lb., 6.5-year-old, Australian Cattle Dog mix. She’s incredibly intelligent, crate trained, fully house trained and can even ring a bell to tell you when she needs to use the bathroom! She knows all your standard tricks, but also has a handful of really fun ones like spinning, high fives, and playing dead. She really enjoys the toughest of chew toys, food puzzles, tug of war, and snuggles and scratches. She’s terrible at fetch! She will chase the ball but then will insist you chase her to get it back. Huge fan of sticks. You will inevitably have to tell her that she’s given you enough kisses and must cease such, and though she will protest profusely, she will eventually acquiesce!



Ziva needs to be the only dog in the home. Ziva will not want to co-exist with any other pets and is currently separated from the other dog in the home by alternating crate time. A fenced backyard would be best where she can run freely to get her needed exercise away from other dogs. Dog parks and walks around other dogs would not do well for her unfortunately.



Ziva will sit next to you on the couch and love the quiet attention as well. She won’t hog the blankets at night but will frequently crawl under them and lay against your side. If the two dogs here did get along then I would be keeping them both but two years of keeping them separated in the same home has shown that she must have her own home.



Ziva is in Norton, MA and is looking for her forever home. If you are that home, or have any other
questions about Ziva, please reach out and contact johan.stewart@gmail.com.
