DORADO
Meet Dorado, a 7-year-old Queensland Heeler mix who has his priorities straight: snacks, pets, brushing sessions, and then maybe toys... if there's time.Dorado enjoys toys, but let's not get carried away. If you throw one, he'll politely go get it and bring it back, but he's not about to spend the next three hours obsessing over a tennis ball. He's got better things to do, like standing next to you waiting for more attention.This handsome guy is affectionate, easygoing, and firmly believes that every human hand was designed specifically for petting dogs. He loves being brushed and will happily volunteer for grooming duties whenever possible.Dorado is also a gentleman. He knows `sit,` takes treats gently, and walks nicely on leash without turning your daily stroll into an upper-body workout.If you're looking for a loyal companion who combines good manners, mild toy enthusiasm, and an expert-level appreciation for affection, Dorado is ready to report for duty.
