Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

This is Emma. She was found in the road and not in great condition. She is about 10 years old. She moves slow and prefers naps on the cushioned beds. She needs somewhere to live out her days inside, warm, and cozy. When she came in she appeared to be an outside dog, unbathed and skinny. We are working on gaining some weight and we got her blood work done. She was rescued by a girl and her 3 young daughters and has never shown signs of aggression.

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.
