Benji - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Evergreen, Colorado

Meet Benji! ❤ï ̧

I have to share this sweet boy because he is just the BEST! Benji is a 5-month-old herding mix who came to Colorado from Arkansas with three of his seven siblings—and honestly, he has THE. BEST. EARS!

He’s playful, athletic, curious, and incredibly gentle and polite for a puppy. He loves playing with his sister and is even starting to enjoy chase and tug with the resident Lab. He’s also respectful of the senior dog in his foster home. He’s been wonderful meeting older kids, too!

Benji is smart, food-motivated, and learning so quickly—sit, crate training, potty training, and all the routines of a household. He’s going to be an amazing companion for someone ready to keep up with his puppy energy and continue his training.

And apparently, Benji has decided he’s also a high-jump champion! He can easily clear a 3-foot baby gate, so a taller, secure fence will be important as he grows.

He is such a happy, affectionate, fun-loving puppy, He is ready to find an amazing forever family. ❤ï ̧

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.
