Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Australian Kelpie Dogs Available for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

Everybody, meet Ruby!

Ruby is a 2.5-year old Cattle Dog - Heeler mix! Ruby is a true Velcro dog to her person. She is extremely smart and enjoys listening to commands (for the most part!). She knows sit, stay, lay down, paw, and is fully crate trained. She is so sweet with anyone she meets, including older children, and just wants to love and be loved. She likes stuffed toys and her favorite is her koala "Bear" - could be related to her Australian heritage! She loves carrying around her bones and hiding them in the couch or under a blanket. She would make a great companion for anyone who understands the Heeler stubbornness and can be a leader for her.

If you are interested in Ruby, please reach out to Bethany at (570) 877-2690 or bmatiger91@hotmail.com.
