Adelaide - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in San Rafael, California

Adelaide was found wandering the streets with her sisters, all of them far too young to be on their own. They were brought into a shelter, where they were at risk and waiting for someone to give them a chance. Thankfully, they were saved and Adelaide is now safe in a loving foster home, where she is learning just how wonderful life can be.

You would never know from her joyful spirit that Adelaide has already been through so much. She is sweet, resilient, playful, and full of puppy energy. She loves people and is wonderful with other dogs of all sizes. Whether she’s playing with her four-legged friends or cuddling up with her people, Adelaide is happiest when she’s surrounded by love.

She’s also a little overachiever! Adelaide is potty trained, crate trained, and has mastered her puppy basics. She’s currently working on her leash manners and continues to learn and grow every day.

Adelaide has already shown just how resilient she is. Now she deserves a forever home where she can leave her difficult start behind and spend her days doing what every puppy should be doing — playing, exploring, cuddling, and being loved.

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.
