Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi world, I'm Kenai! I'm 75 pounds of pure happiness and my main priorities in life are love, food, and naps. I'm a lap dog at heart and love just hanging out with my people. I love walks, hikes, and road trips. I have a small yard right now and love sunbathing, chasing flies, and watching squirrels.

I don't like cats, and small dogs are overwhelmed by my enthusiasm, but I play nicely with dogs slightly smaller than me and greet all dogs politely when on leash (I make what my foster mom calls my "chimpanzee snorts" when I see a dog I want to play with). I do love being the center of attention, so most likely would be happiest in a single dog home.

I'm house trained, crate trained, don't chew, and know sit, wait, no, down, and come (unless I see a squirrel). Nothing in life is better than treats, so I love doing training! We are working on heel.

I'm hoping for an active family who can take me for a few walks a day and maybe even to the dog park! I'm an expert sleeper, so if you're not a morning person, that's fine! Kids could be okay, but it's best if they're older so I don't knock them over with my love (or my tail).

I'm in a foster home but hope to meet you soon! If interested please apply on our website and someone will be in touch. Email adopt@souldog.org with questions!

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.
