This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
A puppy from the Classic litter, a charming group of pups, would be a bundle of joy for any dog lover. These puppies are characterized by their endearing qualities, making them irresistible.
They are superb cuddle bugs - these little ones are experts at melting hearts. While all the puppies exhibit an affectionate nature, the boys in the litter may initially appear a bit more reserved than their female counterparts. However, once comfortable, they are sure to warm up and become just as affectionate and lively.
In the evenings, the living room comes alive with their nightly zoomies, as they joyfully run in playful circles, bringing a dose of happiness to the household. Beyond their energetic bursts, these puppies are known for being incredibly affectionate, making them the perfect companions for cozy moments. With their playful antics and undeniable cuteness, the Classic litter of heeler mix puppies is sure to capture the hearts of those lucky enough to have them as part of their family.
Medical Note: Slight over/under bite- At the time of adoption, no gum or soft palate trauma, nor discomfort with or effect on eating/chewing is noticed; no treatment is recommended at this time. As the dog is a growing/developing puppy, this could change and change quickly. Adopter should do regular checks of the mouth weekly to see if there is any trauma occurring. Comfort and ability to eat are going to be the main observation points, but the adopter should also look closely for damage to the gums/palate. If any concerns, exam by an oral specialist is recommended as they are best equipped to recommend the care and timeline that would benefit the individual the most. If intervention is required, growth and facial development should be relatively complete.
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
