Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Dutch Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Butte, Montana

Gracie arrived 04/11/2026 as a transfer from another rescue person. You can tell by these photos that she and Shorty are best friends and rely on each other for comfort. The pictures were taken on one of the first days they arrived. We will update her personality after we get to know her. She is scheduled to be spayed and fully vaccinated on 05/04/2026 after which she will be adoptable. Update: We have added four new photos taken 05/02/2026. What a beauty! And yes, we are only guessing about being part Dutch shepherd. She does have the lovely brown shading on her black coat.
