Beautiful Cricket was pulled from a shelter in Texas. She is about two years old. Cricket is a sweet girl who had an owner, but was kept outside in the Texas heat without any vet care. She got pregnant and was dumped at the shelter after giving birth to nine puppies. Unfortunately, we have no idea what happened to the puppies as there were nowhere to be found!! Poor Cricket deserves so much more. She’s about 40 pounds, and estimated to be a two-year-old heeler. She is now fully vetted and vaccinated. She doesn't care about cats. She did growl at the dogs in the foster house when she first arrived, but after a few days of decompression, she became their friend. She is a quiet girl that doesn’t really bark much at all. She loves to play. She loves attention. She would do awesome at agility training because loves to run hurdles. She's also good on a leash. She's an energetic but good girl. Cricket can come to the NJ area on our next transport if adopted and will go to her new home upon arrival.
