Inquisitive and Ready for Adventure

Huey is an Australian Cattle Dog mix with a playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious personality. Adventurous and brave, he loves exploring the world around him—whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, a game of fetch in the yard, or showing off his signature zoomies. Huey is always eager to investigate new sights and smells, making every day with him an exciting little adventure.

Huey enjoys going to our social playgroups with other dogs, showing a friendly and playful side while also listening carefully to guidance and corrections. He’s house-trained and crate-trained, so he’s comfortable both at play and during quiet, relaxed moments at home.

While he can be a little shy when meeting new people, Huey quickly warms up and reveals his affectionate, cuddly side, showing just how much he loves attention and companionship. His inquisitive nature makes him a smart pup who thrives with gentle encouragement, mental stimulation, and activities that challenge his agile mind.

Huey is looking for a home where he can continue to explore, play, and grow into the loyal adventure buddy he’s meant to be. He’s the perfect match for someone ready to embrace an active, fun-loving dog who is as spirited as he is loving.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
