Mac - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

**Mac is fostered in Happy Valley, Oregon and is available for meet and greets.**

Mac was found as a stray in a rural town in south Texas. Someone in the community saw him and asked us for help. A foster agreed to bring Mac into her home, so we were able to save him. He has been in our program while we had his veterinary care completed, and he has been a sweet puppy since the day we met him. We hope he will find someone who will love him forever.



Mac is an easy going boy, and he will be a great puppy to raise and train. He is treat motivated and will try anything for a treat. He currently knows "sit" and "come". Mac does well in the car, and likes walks. He likes to play with other dogs and cats too. He loves kids and has been with children as young as 8. He is crate trained and almost house trained. He warms up to new people quickly. He likes to follow his foster mom around the house and sticks by her side on walks outside. He has good leash skills and doesn’t pull.



Mac is 5 months old (estimated birthday is 4/9/26) and weighs 35 pounds. He has a chocolate and black brindled coat pattern with a white chest and belly and boots. We think he is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies, DHPP and Bordetella. He is also microchipped, heartworm negative and is current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

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.
