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

Arriving in Wisconsin on March 20th!

Uranus is a handsome 8 week old male mixed breed puppy. He has a soft black and white speckled coat and he has the most soulful eyes. We do not know the parents of this litter but we suspect they have some Australian Cattle Dog DNA in their mix.

These puppies are part of our “Planet Litter,” a group of siblings rescued in Texas after being discovered abandoned inside a cooler. Thankfully, they were found in time and brought to safety, where they have been receiving the care, nutrition, and love they needed to grow into healthy, happy puppies.

Despite their difficult start, they have proven to be incredibly resilient. Like most young puppies, they are curious, playful, and eager to explore the world around them. They enjoy spending time with people and their siblings and are learning all the normal puppy things—playing, snuggling, and discovering new experiences every day.

They are looking for a family who understands that puppies require time, patience, and training as they grow. With consistency, love, and positive guidance, they will grow into wonderful lifelong companions.

They are up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped, and will come with their veterinary records and an interstate health certificate from a veterinarian confirming they are healthy for travel.

They will be arriving in Muskego, WI on Friday, March 20th, and will be available to meet—and take home if they are a good fit—by the first family to have placed an exclusive hold deposit as described below.

Their adoption fee is $500, which helps support the many animals in our care whose medical needs far exceed their adoption fees. They are available for an exclusive hold with a deposit of $250, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The remaining balance of the adoption fee is due upon meeting and finalizing the adoption on Friday, March 20th. If, upon meeting, they are not a good fit for your family, the deposit is refundable.

We ask that you are serious about your intent to adopt before placing a deposit, so as not to prevent them from finding their forever family in the meantime, as we only accept one deposit per dog.

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.
