Buster - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

At 14 years young, Buster is a handsome Red Heeler mix with a gentle, easygoing personality and plenty of love and adventures left to share. He is affectionate and loyal, enjoys spending time with his people, and is equally happy relaxing independently at home.

Buster is crate trained and about 90% housebroken, comfortably handling a typical workday schedule. He loves treats and is eager to please, making him an easy companion. He has a moderate energy level and enjoys walks, hikes, and exploring--up to two 2-3 mile outings a day--while still being happy to relax afterward.

Buster does have some arthritis and takes medication to keep him comfortable. He needs a ramp to get in and out of the car, but once his paws hit the ground, he is ready to go! He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company. He has also been comfortable around cats while out on walks, although we are still learning how he would do living with one.

Buster can be trusted off leash in safe, appropriate areas once he has built a strong bond with his family. He is nervous during thunderstorms and fireworks, so he will need to be kept safely indoors during those times.

Buster may be a senior, but he still has a wonderful balance of curiosity, companionship, independence, and adventure. He is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy comfortable days, good walks, cozy downtime, and all the love he deserves. ❤️

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.
