Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Sonoma, California

Meet Queenie, a very special girl who is estimated to be around 2 years old. She will be available for adoption around May 15.

Queenie has been an incredible mama to her eight puppies, and now it's almost her turn to be loved, spoiled, and chosen for herself. She is sweet, mellow, and wonderfully people-focused - the kind of dog who wants to be near her person and soak up affection.

After doing such a beautiful job raising her babies, Queenie is ready for a home where she can finally relax and be someone's cherished companion. She has a gentle, steady presence and an easygoing nature that makes her so lovely to be around. She is not a high-drama girl; she is more of a soft, soulful, loyal dog who just wants to feel safe, loved, and included.

Queenie has given her puppies the best start, and now she deserves the very best next chapter.

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.
