Aria - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Marshalltown, Iowa

Aria is a young mixed working breed who came to us after being found hiding under farm equipment on someone's property. It's believed she had been wandering the area for several weeks, likely surviving on her own before finding safety with us.

Understandably, Aria needs a little time to warm up to new people - but once she trusts you, she loves with her whole heart. She has had playgroups with dogs her size, but she needs time to get acquainted. She's a very sweet girl who is eager to please, making her a great candidate for continued training and bonding with her new family. Aria is ready for a home that will give her patience, structure, and the love she's been waiting for.

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.
