Max - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog Available for Adoption

Meet Max!

Max is a young Australian Cattle Dog (around 1 year old) with the energy of a wild thing — and we mean that in the best way! This handsome blue heeler was found roaming County Line Road during a storm, hiding in a small cemetery with no shelter. Despite everything he'd been through, he turned out to be a total sweetheart the moment he was safe.

Max is full of big, bold personality. He's wiggly, fast, and intensely affectionate — he loves being close to his people, giving kisses, and playing with his toys. He's learned that exercise and mental stimulation are his best friends, and he's already doing great on leash walks and free time in the yard. He comes back reliably when called, which is a fantastic sign for such a high-drive dog!

He's still settling in and learning the ropes, so he'll thrive best in an active home that can match his energy and give him a job to do. Max is the kind of dog who will be your most devoted companion once he feels secure — this kid just needs to move!

Good with: Active adults and older kids | Needs: Lots of exercise, mental stimulation, patient and experienced handler

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.
