Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption in Rustburg, Virginia

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This is Luna! She is new to the Campbell County Shelter, as of Monday. She is a sweet little girl just one year old, who has already been in two homes, and needs stability in her life now. Estimated weight is 30 pounds, and she probably will not grow larger. She is a ringer for a dog in the home of one of our volunteers that is a cattle dog/boxer mix, so we are wondering if it’s possible that’s what Luna’s mix may be! We are told that Luna came originally from an older man, and was taken in by a mom with two babies who realized that a new dog and two babies was just too much. We are going to take great care of Luna and hope you will help us by considering her for adoption! She was cooperative yesterday when we took her out for pictures, walking easily on a leash and not pulling to get away. She has a silky, soft coat, and loves having human friends! She seemed very excited when she saw children playing on the playground at the school next-door, so maybe a family with children will be in her future. Isn’t she cute?

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.

The boxer is a medium to large sized dog breed known for its muscular build, distinctive square head, and energetic personality. Boxers are loyal, affectionate, and good natured companions, making them an ideal family pet. They are intelligent, playful, and love to be around people, making them excellent with children. Boxers require consistent training, plenty of exercise, and socialization to thrive. With their strong work ethic and protective instincts, boxers excel in various roles, including as service dogs, therapy dogs, and in dog sports.
