Batman

Batman is a one year old, lovable Blue Heeler. We brought him home at 3 months old, hoping to give our other dog a furry friend to play with. Unfortunately this change has caused too much anxiety for her and we now have to find Batman a new home.

Batman is an energetic puppy who loves to play fetch inside and out. He would love a family with a big fenced back yard or one that loves the outdoors, taking plenty of walks. Batman is super affectionate and loves to play with kids and grown-ups alike. He is a very smart dog, who just wants love!
