Queensland Heeler / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Meet Sparrow At 7 years old, Sparrow is the kind of dog you don’t have to convince yourself about — he simply is a good dog.This handsome Cattle Dog mix has a calm, steady presence that feels like an exhale. He’s non-reactive, thoughtful, and takes the world in stride. While he still carries that classic Cattle Dog awareness and intelligence, he isn’t looking to manage the neighborhood — he’s looking for comfort.Sparrow has done well with dogs big and small (with respectful, typical cattle dog behavior), and he’s also done well with cats. Has done well with chickens and sheep in foster home while being monitored. We always recommend SLOW introductions to all new animals. He reads the room well and prefers harmony over chaos. He’s not flashy or demanding — he just quietly shows up as the solid, dependable companion you didn’t know you were missing.Sparrow is always down for an adventure and can be your ultimate side kick. He would love to hike, explore, BBQ, stroll around town, go to the park, he is up for anything! Sparrow also values comfort. A soft bed. A peaceful home. A family who sees him for what he is — a really, truly nice dog. He’s at a stage in life where he’s not interested in proving anything. He just wants a soft place to land and people who appreciate his gentle loyalty.If you’re looking for a steady heart, a warm presence by your side, and a dog who will settle in like he’s always belonged there… Sparrow is waiting
