Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Howdy Doody, Everyone! I am one of 7 Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler) mix puppies found wandering around without our mama in a neighborhood in Atascosa, Texas. Thankfully, a good Samaritan rounded us up and reached out to 4 Little Paws Rescue for some help. We are now about 5 months old, vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered, happy and healthy, and ready to find forever homes!

I’m Ozzie, I weigh 34 lbs, and am the biggest pup in the litter. I’m a sweetheart, and a good mix of snuggletime and playtime, enjoying dog toys, sticks, rope toys, and chasing bouncy balls. I get along great with everyone, young and old, other dogs, and also a kitty cat who lives in my foster home. My foster mom says I’m a loverboy, a bit independent, and very smart since I was the first one to be housebroken and know how to go in and out of a doggy door.

My future looks bright, and I'm looking forward to joining a wonderful family anywhere on the East Coast. Inquire about me today!
Adoption Fee: $400

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 shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
