Tess - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Salt Lake City, Utah

Meet Tess!

Tess is a 10-year-old, 58-pound Australian Cattle Dog who is ready to retire from the hustle and bustle and focus on the important things in life: sniffing, getting pets, and relaxing.

Tess is a little nervous at times, so she likes to take things at her own pace. But give her some love and attention, and she settles right in. She wasn't interested in toys, treats, or showing off her stuff-she's officially over the nonsense.

Tess would love a calm home where she can enjoy her golden years with her sister. If you're looking for a sweet, low-key companion who doesn't need much convincing to skip the party and head straight to the couch, Tess is your girl!

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.
