Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Onyx AKA Bryant has a special talent: he can hear cheese no matter how far away it is. He's full of personality.

Onyx loves to play and go for walks, and while he hasn't quite mastered fetch yet, he's very enthusiastic about practicing! After a nice long stroll, he's perfectly content curling up at your feet for a nap—stinky shoes and all.

He walks well on a leash and politely sits at crossings. His favorite treats include bully sticks and bananas, and he's always excited for snack time.

Guard dog? Not even close. If someone comes near, Onyx's go-to move is flopping over for as many belly rubs as possible. True to his herding roots, he likes to make sure all his people (especially kids) are accounted for before settling down by the door.

Onyx is crate trained and does well with pottying outside when the door is left open. He has lived happily with three kids and would thrive in a home with another furry friend to keep him company

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.
