Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Elburn, Illinois

Meet Anastasia - aka Anna, Annie or Anna Banana.

This cutie is approximately 5 months old and is a bundle of energy. She is friendly and very playful. Her favorite things are running around with her foster siblings both human and canine, lounging outside in the warm sun, chewing on her super chewer bones and at the end of the day relaxing in a comfy spot.

Anna does well on a leash with a harness and enjoys a daily walk.

She is working on learning commands and will need a family that is consistent and firm with training. Right now, she is mastering “sit” and “off”. She is also crate trained during the day and will go in when she hears “crate” and given a treat.
Potty training is a work in progress just like with any puppy. Anna will use a puppy pad in the house if she can’t make it to the door but also knows that outside means “potty”. She is a very smart girl who is eager to please and will catch on to it in no time with consistency.

Anna’s ideal household would be one that is active. She would love a fenced yard to be able to run around in and burn her energy. She would do well with or without a canine sibling. She would also do best in a family with older children as she likes to nip and herd the younger ones when playing.

If you are looking for a loyal silly pup who will put a smile on your face every day Annie is your girl!

Our standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for adopters who pay by cash or check, making the adoption fee $450.

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal test, deworming, current on flea and tick preventative, and microchip.

To ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters, we require a fully completed adoption application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with the entire household. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed.

Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption and does not obligate you to adopt; it simply allows us to begin the review process.

To request an application or for additional details, please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org

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.
