Bolt - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

10/7/26

Bolt is such a fun guy! As you can see by the breed he's no couch potato (even though he does love his long naps). He's great on a leash and even enjoys getting picked up. He's great with all the humans and other dogs but may be best in a home with no cats.



**This dog is currently at the rescue in TX however you can secure this pup for yourself with a pre-adoption which means getting your app in, approved and then paying the adoption fee. The adoption fee is $525 which covers spay/neuter, vaccinations, HW testing, chipping, health certificate and transport fees. All our dogs come with a 30 day, money back, trial period to make sure they are the right fit in your environment but if it doesn’t work you will have to foster until the dog gets rehomed. Tall Tails Rescue has a commitment to these dogs for their lifetime and we hope you do too!
