Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

** This is an Out Of Town listing. We transport to the city on this listing. Please apply at www.bit.ly/mu-adopt **

Meet Happy! (Yes, like one of the seven dwarves... and she absolutely lives up to her name.)

This little girl should be called Lucky, Brave, or Miracle — because that’s what she is. Happy and her siblings were found living in the woods with their mama (a 50lb blue heeler) during the coldest stretch of winter. We’re talking temperatures dropping into the teens. It’s honestly a wonder they survived. Their sweet mama was doing everything she could to keep them safe and fed.

On a freezing night when the temps were about to plummet again, our volunteers secured the whole family and changed their future forever.

Now Happy is just over 2 months old, safe, warm, well-fed, and exactly what her name promises — happy-go-lucky, playful, and full of puppy joy. She loves romping with her siblings, getting into harmless mischief, and then crashing into the cutest little puppy nap you’ve ever seen. And aren't her freckles adorable??

Happy will be spayed mid-March and will be ready to travel to her forever home after that.

Let’s be real — puppies are WORK. They aren’t born housebroken, they chew things, they wake up early, and they require patience and consistency. But the time, effort, and love you pour into them? It comes back tenfold. With dedication, guidance, and lots of encouragement, Happy will grow into an incredible lifelong companion.

We cannot wait to see this miracle girl land in a loving FOREVER family — one that will be devoted to her for her entire lifetime. No more cold woods. No more uncertainty. Just warmth, safety, and love.

If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful chaos, and a lifetime of loyalty... Happy is waiting.

LOCATION & TRANSPORT:

This dog is currently in South Mississippi. Local and out-of-town adopters are welcome. For out of town adopters, we offer virtual meet-and-greets and can arrange transport to many states in the Northeast. (The $450 adoption fee includes transport to the city on this listing. Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped. Note: We cannot guarantee full grown size or breed mix. Both are guesses based on physical characteristics and any known history.

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.
