PERSONALITY: Gus is a happy, affectionate boy with a friendly personality and a wonderful temperament. He enjoys being around people and has a moderate energy level, making him a great companion for walks, playtime, and relaxing with his family.

Gus has already shown how resilient he is. Now he needs a foster or adopter willing to give him the safe, loving home he has waited so patiently for.

All of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and on preventatives.

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.
