Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Galveston, Texas

Meet this sweet blue heeler girl with the gentlest soul and the cutest quirks! At 5 years old, Lily is the perfect mix of calm companion and loyal best friend. She absolutely loves water, gets along wonderfully with dogs and kids, and is fully housebroken. She has a hilarious habit of lifting her leg to pee "like one of the boys," and when she wants reassurance or affection, she'll softly wrap her paw around your arm like a little hug. It's impossible not to melt when she does it!

She's very mild-mannered and quiet around the house, only barking to alert you when something needs your attention. Thunderstorms can make her nervous, so she appreciates a safe, comforting place to curl up when the weather turns loud. She would do best in a home without cats, especially cats that run, because her herding instincts can kick in. Otherwise, she's a loving, loyal girl who just wants to be close to her people and feel safe and encouraged. If you're looking for a dog pre-loaded with all the bells and whistles, Lily is your lady!
