American Staffordshire Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

✨ Meet Athena in person!
Athena will be available to meet at our adoption event on Saturday, February 21st from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at End of the Leash- 5430 South 108th Street, Hales Corners, WI 53130.

Athena made the journey from Texas on January 9th with her four tiny, two-week-old puppies by her side. Since arriving in Wisconsin, she has lovingly raised her babies in foster care, and now that they’re ready to find homes of their own, it’s finally Athena’s turn to be someone’s baby.

Athena is a beautiful 2 year old mixed breed adult. Athena is a bit on the shy side but will open up easily and has done wonderfully in her foster home. She lives with multiple dogs (not just her own litter!) and has been a fantastic playmate to everyone. She’s currently fostered on a small farm and has taken everything in stride. She’s quiet, affectionate, and ready for a family who will give her the love and stability she’s given her pups.

She is scheduled for her spay (covered by the rescue), up to date on vaccines, dewormed and microchipped, and she comes with her medical records and interstate health certificate from a veterinary examination prior to leaving Texas, which certifies her to be in good condition.

Her adoption fee is $500, which will be used to support the many animals in our care whose medical bills far surpass their much lower adoption fee.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
