Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Little Little! This shy, sweet pup can be nervous around strangers but warms up quickly once he feels safe. He hasn’t spent much time around children, so slow, supervised introductions will be important. He grew up around other animals like cats, chickens, pigs, and dogs but thoughtful, gradual introductions in his new home will help ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved.

He’s still learning house manners and will use the bathroom outside if given the chance, but may have accidents indoors if confined. With patience, consistency, and lots of encouragement, Little Little is sure to blossom into a loving, well-adjusted companion ready to share life’s adventures with his forever family.

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.
