Blu - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption

Located in Myakka City, Florida, Blu is an approximately 2-year-old Blue Heeler who is looking for her perfect forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, on heartworm and flea prevention, and is both crate trained and house trained.

Blu is a smart girl who knows several basic commands. Like many young, energetic Heelers, she sometimes gets a little too excited and is still working on mastering "stay."

True to her breed, Blu is active, intelligent, loyal, and devoted to her people. She has a sweet and silly personality, loves being involved in whatever her family is doing, and can be a bit of a "velcro dog" who enjoys staying close to her favorite humans. Because of her herding breed instincts, Blu's ideal family will have experience with Heelers or other herding breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs.

Blu would thrive in an active home and would especially enjoy having a canine companion close to her age and energy level to play with. While she is not currently involved in dog sports, she has excellent potential for activities such as agility, dock diving, scent work, or other enrichment-based training.

Blu is not a good fit for a home with chickens, ducks, or certain other farm animals due to her strong herding and prey-drive instincts. She would do best in a home without young children, though she does enjoy the company of respectful teenagers.

A securely fenced yard is required, with fencing at least 6 feet tall, to provide Blu with a safe space to run and play.

If you're looking for a loyal, intelligent, and fun-loving companion who will be your biggest fan, Blu may be the perfect match for you!
