Please Take me Home for the Holidays Gandolph is a black & gray Blue Heeler about 1 1 / 2 yrs old. He came to us because his owner had to move to a "no pets" home. He hasn't had much training, but is very intelligent and with very little effort will more than likely be a very disciplined companion. Gandolph will do well in a large fenced yard or on a few acres. He'll chase cats outside, but likes to cuddle up to them in the house. He's just a lover at heart. Take Gandolph Home 4 the Holidays and receive 10% off the price of his adoption.
