Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Meet Boone!

Some dogs pick a person. Boone picks little people... like kids.

This 12-week-old cattle dog mix wants nothing more than to be wherever his people are—especially if those people are tiny humans.

Boone absolutely adores kids and has completely bonded with his foster's 6-year-old daughter. In his mind, children are the best thing ever, and he would truly thrive in a home with kids to love on and follow around all day.

He's a sensitive, gentle little guy who can be a bit shy at first, but underneath that soft personality is an incredibly loving puppy who's going to blossom beautifully with time and patience.

Boone does well with other dogs and loves companionship. He is working on crate training and may cry for a few minutes in his crate, but settles down quickly—though if he had the choice, he'd definitely pick napping cuddled up next to you in bed instead.

This sweet boy is looking for a family ready to help him build confidence, shower him with love, and let him be part of the action every step of the way.

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.
