Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Otis 💙

Otis is a 10-week-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a handsome face and a tender little heart. Weighing 12 pounds, this sweet boy is still just a baby trying to figure out the world around him.
Otis was owner-released and is understandably very scared right now. New sights, sounds, and people can feel overwhelming for him, so he will need a patient, gentle family willing to move slowly and give him the time he needs to feel safe. With kindness and consistency, his confidence will grow day by day.
Despite his timid start, Otis has all the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. He is expected to adapt well to other animals and respectful children, especially in a calm home environment. Like any young puppy, he will learn house and crate training with positive reinforcement, routine, and encouragement.
Otis is up to date on vaccinations and ready to begin his fresh start with a loving family. If you have a soft spot for shy pups and the patience to help him come out of his shell, Otis will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. 🐾

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.
