About Chestnut

CHESTNUT NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Chestnut Best Guess for Breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of Nov. 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 41 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - Chestnut needs a foster or adopter to make his way to the DC area Chestnut is Looking For: Chestnut is a 2-year-old Blue Heeler mix with a smile that could light up any room. He’s sporting the classic heeler look: a gorgeous tricolor spotted coat that’s a little different everywhere you look, topped off with a pair of pointy, expressive ears that perk right up whenever someone says hello. And people saying hello is Chestnut’s favorite thing in the world. Our shelter staff describe him as very happy and sweet, and it’s clear he simply loves people. Whether you’re stopping by his kennel or taking him out for a stroll, he greets everyone like they’re his new best friend. His tail never seems to stop wagging. As a heeler mix, Chestnut likely comes from a smart, active, and loyal heritage. Dogs like him often thrive with daily exercise, games that challenge their brains, and a family who enjoys spending time with them. In return, they tend to be devoted companions who stick close to the people they love. What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog . Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
