Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Chewie — Our Little Bear Cub Looking for His Forever Home

This sweet boy is Chewie, named for his uncanny resemblance to Chewbacca — though around here, we lovingly call him our little bear cub. At just 2 years old, this sweet boy has already been through more than most dogs should ever experience. He was saved from a rural shelter just days before euthanasia, and we are so grateful he was given the chance he deserved.

Chewie can be shy when meeting new people, but with a little love and patience, he quickly becomes your fluffy little shadow. He is calm, sweet, and incredibly gentle — a true old soul in a young body. He’s the perfect lap dog who’s happiest basking in the sun or curled up beside you.

Chewie at a Glance:

• 2-year-old Aussie/Collie mix

• Neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped

• Potty trained and very well mannered

• Walks beautifully on leash

• Calm, quiet, and affectionate

• Great with kids & other dogs

Chewie gets along well with other dogs but prefers not to play — he becomes scared if chased and would do best with mellow canine companions or as an only dog. He has not been cat tested, but due to his history of chasing chickens as a stray, a home without cats or small livestock would be the safest fit.

Chewie would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can spend his days snuggling, sunbathing, and being quietly adored.

Chewie will be available for adoption on February 12th — just in time to be your perfect Valentine’s date!
