Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Rex heard you were looking for an adventure buddy who also loves to snuggle, so he came all the way to Minnesota to find you! As a greeting, he does a little wiggle dance and wags furiously to show off the fluffy white tip of his tail. Take him for a walk, and he'll keep the leash slack for the most part--potential for impressive heel skills. At night, he sleeps in his crate in his foster human's room. Rex insists on your love. He'll give you a paw, nuzzle you with the top of his head, and climb in your lap. This boy lives for belly rubs.

Just open a car door and Rex will hop right in to see what adventure you'll take him on!

Rex is estimated to be 2 years old and 40 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

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.

To create a world where all companion animals are loved, respected and have a home.
