About Appa (Australian cattle dog/blue heeler) in Ocala

Appa is waiting for you at Marion County Animal Services in Ocala, FL 34480. Hi, I'm Appa! I’m basically the total package. I love every human I meet (seriously, I haven’t found one I don’t like yet), I know “sit,” walk like a gentleman on leash, and keep my space tidy—no trash raiding, no naughty shenanigans, even overnight. I’m housebroken, well-mannered, and very interested in learning new things. In fact, I’d gladly continue my education… especially if treats are involved.My hobbies include making friends, going for walks, collecting toys… and conducting aggressive quality-control testing on stuffed animals. (Stuffies rarely survive. Consider yourself warned.)I’m proud to report I do not destroy property. Fine print: “Property” does not include stuffed toys. Stuffies have their own separate policy.I also have an adventurous side. While I’m perfectly happy relaxing on my bed in the shelter office, I’d love an active home where I can be part of the fun—whether that’s a running partner, hiking buddy, or maybe even trying dog sports like agility or Fast CAT. I’ve got the enthusiasm and interest to give it a go.If you’re looking for a friendly, easygoing companion with good manners, a playful side, and lots of love to give, I might be your guy. References available upon request… although everyone in the shelter office already seems to be a fan.
