Bluey - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Greenbelt, Maryland

Bluey greets the world with her whole heart! At 35 pounds and three years old, this sweet southern girl is curious, affectionate, endlessly enthusiastic, and always ready for her next adventure. She came to PAW from South Carolina and is enjoying every new sight, sound, and smell she's discovering here in Maryland.

Bluey loves getting out for walks, where she happily investigates the neighborhood one sniff at a time. She's excited to meet new people, interested in other dogs, and is still polishing her leash manners—sometimes weaving around your feet or bursting into a happy trot when something catches her attention. She's smart, treat-motivated, and eager to learn, making her a wonderful candidate for continued training.

With her soft coat, adorable little bobtail, and shorter legs, Bluey is as cute as she is lovable. She adores pets, ear rubs, hugs, and kisses, and she's happiest when she has people and adventures to share them with. She'd make a wonderful walking or hiking companion for someone ready to help this bright, energetic girl continue learning about the world.

PAW adopts in Maryland, DC, northern VA, and southern PA.

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.
