Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Goleta, California

Hi there! My name is Moxy and I'm at the Santa Maria Campus.

As a senior girl, I like spending my days lounging on a comfy bed with my blankies and stuffies. However, I look forward to my walks and potty breaks. I walk really good on leash-- I've had the time to practice! I'm very gentle and affectionate, with humans of all ages! I would prefer a slower paced life with a human who wants a mellow, couch potato. Maybe we can share a few snacks!

Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed.

Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Hills Science Diet will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission.

Hope to see you soon!

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.
