A devoted mom left behind at a shelter....one of the saddest things we see, when pups get rescued and moms are left behind! Dawn didn't ask to get pregnant or dumped with her young pups... and was certainly not ready to die- nor was the shelter wanting to end her life keeping her past her euth date hoping for a positive outcome... and here we are!
She is attentive, has a sweet non reactive temperament and is well mannered if not worldly, gentle and calm for a Cattledog type, this lovely girl will make an amazing companion. Some gentle encouragement, warmth, consistency and positive adventures and increased socialization with people and dogs is in order, she will take to all that and more! Dawn will rise and shed her light on a whole new world joining you in adventures and delightful times, and end the day with snuggle time and relaxing... at HOME!

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
