Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Chehalis, Washington

Take me home today!
I was brought in as an owner surrender. I am a very sweet but extremely shy girl. I have gone pretty much my whole life without meeting other animals or people. I will need a home that will take everything slow until I'm comfortable. I am an almost 5-year-old Aussie- Blue Heeler mix weighing close to 45lbs. I do not know most any basic commands, and I will need lots of leash training. I kind of just plop down on my side when I don't want to walk anywhere. I have been crate trained in the past and am housetrained. I had a doggy door in my previous home. I have not been around any other animals, but I am very submissive and would likely do well with another confident dog. I would do well with kids that respect my boundaries and will give me the space I will need at first. I am already spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, now ready to meet my new forever home!

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
