My blue heeled mix is around 4 years old she is an outside dog and I would like to train her to be an inside dog and outside dog she can choose we have a dog door any tips on how to potty train an adult dog Thank you! Also videos and links would be fine if you want to send those!
A friend (not really, he's an asshole) of my boyfriend's regularly allows his heelers to breed, and subsequently does not take care of them at all. He loves my boyfriend though, and if we asked for two of the puppies, we would be able to take them. He leaves them on a fenced in back porch with no food or water over entire weekends. Whenever there is a litter, they typically have fleas, and sometimes worms. I've managed to rehome one of them before (I convinced someone to take the runt) and he's thriving now. The puppies are currently at or a little older than 6 weeks old. The owner is not allowing them to be near their mother.
If anyone wants one or both of these puppies, you are totally free to them. I am not charging anyone. I just want them to have a good home. I've already called Animal Control, and because they're not considered an essential service where we live, they can't do anything about it. They even called the police on the guy, but his property is so far back in the woods that they couldn't go do a welfare check. If anyone is interested, please, please let me know.
UPDATE: My boyfriend and I were unable to get to the pups' owner yesterday. They went to his place and they still saw them on the side porch without their mother with nothing but feces and trash around. We will try again today or tomorrow to get in contact with him. He owns multiple properties, and he kind of hangs out at different ones randomly. The one the puppies are at is is "man cave" of sorts and is always left unlocked. If I didn't think there would be some consequences, I'd just walk in and steal them and turn them over to Lifeline, tbh.
I used to have a blue heeler / beagle mix pup. He passed a few years ago at the ripe old age of 18, and I love coming to this subreddit to be reminded of him. I'm thinking after college of adopting another mix/rescue blue heeler, they are such unique dogs.
