Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Gus

Two months old. Blue heeler mix. Professional heart-stealer.



Gus is the kind of puppy who makes a room feel warmer just by toddling into it. With his soft gray coat brushed with black and brown markings, he looks like a tiny work of art that somehow learned how to wag its tail. Sweet as can be is not an exaggeration, it is his default setting.



This little guy already knows some impressive grown-up skills. Gus comes when he's called like he's been waiting all day just to hear your voice, and he sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate, dreaming big puppy dreams. He is gentle, curious, and wonderfully social, greeting other dogs like old friends and treating cats with calm, respectful interest, and he loves kids!



Gus loves companionship. He thrives on affection, settles in nicely, and has that rare mix of playful energy and cozy calm that makes him a joy to live with. Whether he's trotting after you, cuddling up for a nap, or politely making new animal friends, Gus is all about connection.



If you are looking for a loyal little shadow, a happy learner, and a best friend who will grow up devoted and kind, Gus is ready to bring his big heart home. Gus is in Fort Collins, Colorado with his foster family and is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccines.

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.
