Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Hazel –11-Week-Old Heeler Mix | Tiny Explorer with a Big Personality

Hazel is pure puppy joy wrapped up in a tiny, speckled package! This adventurous little Heeler mix is so entertaining to watch — she bounces, pounces, and zooms after anything that moves like it’s her full-time job. Leaves, toys, shadows… if it runs, Hazel is on it.

She’s curious about everything and always ready for her next “mission,” which makes her a blast to have around. Hazel would love a home that enjoys an active, playful puppy and will help channel her smart, energetic brain with training, toys, and fun adventures.

After she’s done conquering the world for the day, she’s happy to crash and recharge for her next round of puppy shenanigans. If you’re looking for a spirited, funny, and fearless little sidekick, Hazel is your girl!

She is crate trained, uses the doggie door, and working on her potty training. She gets along wonderfully with her corgi foster sister. She is being fostered in San Antonio, TX but can be transported to the PNW and NE United States (excluding Massachusetts).
