Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Iris, a 10-week-old Heeler mix who is officially ready to steal your heart--and keep up with your weekend plans! If you're looking for a super-intelligent, high-energy partner for hiking, training, or backyard play, Iris is your girl. She's already a total overachiever: she's potty trained, knows how to sit, happily goes to her kennel, and is working on her leash manners. Iris has been around other dogs and cats (although she still needs a little training to understand boundaries). She loves people and would do well with older children. She loves puzzles and training games. Iris is looking for a "pack"; that will keep her mind busy and her tail wagging. Iris would love a home that enjoys puzzle toys or agility training. She is looking for a family who will continue her training and give her plenty of puzzles to solve. Ready to meet your new best friend?

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.
