Aero from Good Boy Town's Story:

Introducing Aero! You know how some dogs are described from being from Good Boy Town? Well.... it turns out they were talking about Aero!

Aero is a stunning 2 year old, 45 lb Heeler mix with a bright mind, playful spirit, and a heart that's learning how to feel safe and loved. This handsome boy was rescued just in time from a Houston shelter after landing on the euthanasia list simply because he was too scared to walk on a leash. Thanks to a dedicated foster family, Aero got his second chance and he's been making the most of it ever since. Check out some more photos of Aero here!

Like many Heelers, Aero is smart, active, and thrives when he has structure and routine. He's come a long way and now walks well on a leash, rides great in the car, and would make an amazing adventure buddy. Whether it's a walk, a road trip, or just hanging out in the yard, Aero is happy to be part of the action or to entertain himself with toys and solo play. He does have strong herding instincts and heeler nips from time to time and for that reason we think a family with older kids. He has been fostered in a home with a 9 year old, whom he quickly became besties with. He does great with the other dog in his foster home and would love a friendly furry sibling or at least opportunities to socialize with other dogs. He is not a fan of cats.

Aero does best with a patient but confident owner who can provide clear guidance and consistency. He still needs some continued training and reassurance, but he's eager to learn and bond with his person. Like most rescue dogs that have had to fend for themselves on the streets he can display food aggression. He is fed separately in his kennel just to make sure there are no scuffles in his foster home. Aero isn't a big fan of the kennel, but given that he's not destructive he doesn't really need it. Even though he may sneak off and hide a shoe or two if given the chance just part of his playful personality!

One of Aero's most endearing quirks? He absolutely loves music. His foster brother starts playing guitar, and he'll sit quietly and listen like your biggest fan. Music even helps calm him, making it a sweet way to connect with him.

Aero has completed heartworm treatment and is ready to move in to his forever home. Breed experience or knowledge required.
