Sweet and cuddly blue heeler needs a loving home
Meet Meg, a sweet, cuddly, loving blue heeler mix puppy needing a home. We found her on our street without a collar or microchip and took her in temporarily. At first, she was extremely scared, but after some love, food, water, and many gentle pets she opened up and showed her sweet and loving nature. We hate to part with her but we have 2 dogs and a very small home and backyard. She deserves a family who can give her more attention. I promise you will love this girl so much and she will become your best friend.
She appears to be 3-4 months old and is about 20 - 25 lbs. She is currently teething but doesn't chew on shoes or furniture. She typically likes to chew on blankets and pillows but is very easily directed before being destructive.

What are your pet's favorite toys and activities?:
She loves squeaky chew toys, but we have another very large dog who doesn't let her play with them because he is obsessed with them, too.

No
What commands does your dog know?:
Not many but she is smart and is beginning to catch on to "get down", "no", "sit". lol
Has your dog ever exhibited any challenging behaviors, such as biting a person or another pet? If so, could you please share some details about the situation?:
No
How does your dog react to being left alone for short periods?:
She is fine being left alone but she always has 2 other dogs around so I'm not sure how she is truly alone.
Are there any specific triggers that cause your dog anxiety or stress?:
Trying to catch her or pick her up seems like a stressor. Riding in a car was traumatizing for her when we took her to check if she had a microchip but she was much more calm on the second car ride to the vet. She will be nervous and stressed the first 1-2 days in a new home but once she trusts you, she is adorable, loving, and playful.
Is there a particular routine that works best for your dog in terms of feeding, walking, and sleep?:
We have not tried walking her on a leash, nor have we put a collar or harness on her, yet.
