My story

Fostered in Nokesville, VA. This dog is part of our Clear the Shelters 2025 celebration, with a $50 adoption fee reduction through September 15! Meet Whiskey - the three-legged heeler with a full-sized heart If you’re looking for a best friend who’s smart, loyal, and endlessly affectionate, say hello to Whiskey! This handsome Australian Cattle Dog (aka “heeler”) has classic breed superpowers—brains, bravery, and a velcro-level bond with his people—plus a gentle, snuggly side that makes him the perfect family dog. Despite missing a leg, Whiskey is pure “three-wheel drive.” It doesn’t slow him down one bit—he’s up for walks, playtime in the yard, and learning new tricks. True to his breed, he loves having a “job,” whether that’s carrying a toy on walks, practicing cues, or showing off how nicely he can settle for belly rubs. He’s sweet, steady, and polite with kids, and he does great with other dogs—happy to make friends and share the fun. Whiskey’s highlights Loyal shadow and cuddle champion—expects daily pets and couch snuggles Quick learner who thrives on positive training and brain games Social with dogs; kind, gentle presence with children Adventure buddy outdoors, calm companion indoors Tripod pro: confident, capable, and ready to roll Ideal home: Whiskey will shine with adopters who enjoy light-to-moderate daily activity, plus mental enrichment (treat puzzles, sniffy walks, short training sessions). Like most heelers, he bonds deeply - he’ll be happiest included in your routines and family time. Ready to add a courageous, cuddle-loving heeler to your life? Whiskey is ready to go home - forever. Apply to meet him today and come see how perfectly three legs can carry a whole lot of love. Veterinary Care Up to date on vaccinations for age Neutered Microchipped Heartworm preventative Flea and tick preventative Worm and parasite treatments

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Whiskey (Tri-Pod), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
