Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Radney is a 14-week-old puppy weighing about 10 pounds, and he’s full of playful curiosity. He loves meeting new people and is always excited to make a new friend. When meeting other dogs, he’s curious, but he also checks back in with his people—he clearly knows his humans are his safe place.

Radney has been doing great, learning the routines of home life. He kennels well and sleeps through the night, and he’s been very good with potty training for such a young pup. He also enjoys going on walks and loves exploring the world with his nose, happily taking in all the sights and smells around him.

He’s already showing how smart and attentive he is. Radney is beginning to recognize and respond to everyday cues like “mealtime,” “go to your kennel,” and “let’s go outside,” which is pretty impressive for a puppy his age. He clearly enjoys learning and paying attention to his people.

At mealtime, Radney tends to be more of a grazer than a rusher.

Like many puppies his age, Radney is currently in his teething phase. He likes to test things with his mouth and can be mouthy during play, sometimes giving playful nibbles or puppy bites. With plenty of appropriate chew toys and gentle guidance, he’s learning what’s okay to chew and what isn’t.

Radney would thrive in a home that understands the puppy stage and is ready to continue helping him learn good manners as he grows. With his playful spirit, curious nature, and eagerness to learn, Radney is sure to bring a lot of joy to the family that brings him home.

Radney will be fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered by his adoption date. He is currently taking flea and heartworm preventative. He was born on 11/28/2025.

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.
