Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Meet Odin 🐾

This handsome 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix is ready to find a new place to call his furever home! At 48 pounds, Odin is the perfect size for someone looking for an adventurous companion who's always ready to be part of the action! ❤️

Like many herding breeds, Odin is athletic, intelligent, and happiest when he has both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep him busy. Whether it's going for hikes, exploring new places, learning new tricks, or joining you on outdoor adventures, Odin is ready to be your loyal sidekick through it all.

Odin can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he has time to settle in and get comfortable, his happy-go-lucky personality starts to shine through. He has previously lived with other dogs and done well, as well as children ages 12 and up. Due to his high prey drive, which is common for the breed, Odin should not live with small animals.

This smart boy already knows how to sit and is very food motivated, which will make continued positive reinforcement training both fun and rewarding for him. He is currently working on his leash manners and does pull on leash at times, but using a harness has been helping him learn.

Odin is looking for someone patient, active, and understanding who will give him the time he needs to settle in and become the amazing companion we know he is. Once you earn his trust, you'll have a loyal best friend for life

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 mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
