Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Baby Olive 🫒🐾
8 weeks old | Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog)

Baby Olive had a difficult start to life. She and her mother were found living under a shed after being abandoned. Sadly, one of her littermates did not survive. A kind woman noticed the mama and began feeding her daily, and when she didn’t appear one day, she went searching and found mama and Baby Olive hiding under the shed together.

Olive is now safe and receiving the care she deserves. She is a very sweet puppy but can be nervous in new places and situations, which is understandable given her early experiences. With patience, routine, and gentle guidance, she will continue to build confidence and thrive.

Her mama weighs about 44 lbs, so Olive is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog when fully grown.

As a Blue Heeler, Olive will be intelligent, loyal, and energetic. She will benefit from a family who understands the breed and is ready to provide proper exercise, training, and socialization to help her become a well-rounded adult dog.

Olive is looking for a committed family who will give her love, stability, and the chance to grow up safe and happy.

If you’re ready to give this sweet survivor the life she deserves, Baby Olive may be the perfect addition to your family. 🖤
