Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption

Luka came to Great Tails at about 7 months old back in May 2025. Luka had a really hard start to life prior to coming to Great Tails. He wrapped his foster around his paws and she ended up keeping him. He is very loved but after time she has realized Luka needs to be the working/athletic dog he is bred to be. Because Luka has been shifted around a lot in his early life we want to make sure Luka will be going and staying at his forever home this time.
1. We will require him to go to a home that has a fenced in yard or acreage to be the busy boy he is.
2. Potential adopter will know the breed or have done the research.
3. He will need to have a strong handler as he doesnt have as many manners as he should being the age he is.
Luka is 16 months old, neutered, and UTD on vaccinations. He does well with children, is very smart, and is eager to please!If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application here.
