Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Orange, California

Meet Velma, the sweetest little mystery mix you’ll ever meet. She’s about 10 weeks old and already stealing hearts left and right.
Velma’s mama is a Maltese, and daddy... well, he didn’t leave a forwarding address. With her adorable markings and bright, expressive eyes, we’re guessing maybe a touch of Border Collie in the mix — whatever she is, it created one ridiculously cute puppy.
Velma is playful, people‑loving, and full of happy puppy energy. She’ll likely grow into a small‑to‑medium girl with a gentle temperament and a big personality. She’s ready to bring joy, cuddles, and a whole lot of fun to her forever family.
If you’re ready to fall in love, Velma is ready to meet you.

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 Maltese is a small toy breed known for its glamorous white coat, which is long, silky, and virtually hypoallergenic. They are gentle, affectionate companion dogs that thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family pets. Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
