Meet Batman

Hello, the humans call me Batman. Not sure why, but it’s okay, as long as I have my human(s), a fun dog buddy/roommate and food, glorious food! I’m a happy guy. Allow me to tell you a little about myself…. I am a 1 ½ year old Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. I am very, very smart. I already know some basic commands and would be happy to learn more if you teach me. I am a very happy guy and just love to be around my people-pack! That includes going for rides (I love rides). The only problem is I may not want to get out when we get home. I adore playing fetch! If you have tennis balls, especially the squeaky kind, I can play fetch all day long! I also love any kind of squeaky toy to play with. I am also very treat/food motivated. I can’t get enough of those Denti-Stix. My foster Mom will tell you that I have a habit of eating my food so fast and I need to have one of those slow-eating bowls but that’s okay, I’m the kind of pup that will make a game out of it. I also like to check out the other pup’s bowls and eat what they didn’t…really, really fast. I am also completely house broken and crate trained and will eat and sleep in my crate at night. My foster mom says that I walk well on a leash with a collar or a harness, but I prefer the harness.  As for my future siblings/resident pups, well, I get along with all 3 of the heelers that I have been staying with although, I do get possessive of my toys at times. I do best with a slow introduction too. My perfect fur-ever home would be with an active adult(s). I am not the kind of pup to be crated for long periods of time and I prefer to be around my humans and getting lots of love. I need a lot of exercise and I mental stimulation. My foster mom thinks I would do fantastic with agility training. If you are interested in a meet and greet, please email my foster mom. She is handling all of this stuff because, well, she will not allow me to use her laptop. Please contact [email protected]. Complete an Application: https://search.app/x6VdVLYHVyXCqR9G7
