Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia

Meet Mae

Mae is a beautiful three-year old pointer/Australian cattle dog mix. She was owner surrendered to a high kill shelter. We pulled her from that shelter and brought her to our no kill shelter. She is just a baby and deserves to find a second chance at a happy life.

Mae is a petite beauty at 32 lbs. She has pretty black and white markings and intelligent eyes. Mae is calm and quiet. She can be a little shy at first but will quickly warm up when she knows you mean no harm. She LOVES being with people and wants to be with you all the time. Mae is not high energy. She is very well-socialized. She likes people, does great with kids, and does well with other dogs her size or bigger. She does not like small dogs or cats. Mae walks well on a leash. Mae has lived her life indoors. It’s hard to say if she is housetrained because she is scared in the kennel environment. However, she’s lived her life as an indoor dog, once in a home she may quickly pick up what is expected from her with some gentle guidance and consistency. Mae is smart and knows some commands. A fenced yard will be a must to let her be outside safely.

Mae will be a terrific companion, ride along dog, and faithful friend to keep you company. She’ll be a hit at family picnics or simply make you feel loved on those quieter days. She is a delightful little dog.

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 Pointer is a versatile and athletic dog breed known for its exceptional hunting skills and high energy levels. With a strong, sleek build and keen sense of smell, Pointers excel in bird hunting, especially in open fields. They are intelligent, eager to please, and make fantastic companions for active individuals or families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and their friendly nature and loyal temperament make them beloved members of the family.

The mission of Charles Smithgall Humane Society is to shelter and find safe homes for unwanted, neglected, abandoned and abused...
