Elliot - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog Available for Adoption in South Hempstead, New York

If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn't always work.


Introducing the incredible Elliott, a little cattle dog with the softest heart and gentlest soul. At 35 pounds of beautiful blue merle fur, this 10-12 month guy is ready to meet his family and settle into his forever home. He is fully house trained, crate trained (willing though not yet his favorite), neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for adventure. He walks beautifully on a leash with no pulling and naturally stays right next to you, happy to move along or stop to meet any dog or person who wants to say hello. He is a true velcro dog and will be your shadow, both inside and out.

After arriving to his foster home in Vermont from Georgia, it was also discovered that Elliott is deaf! With his amazingly kind way of connecting with both people and dogs, nobody had even realized. Elliott is loving and attentive to his people, absolutely adores other dogs, is kind and submissive upon meeting them, and loves to play if they are up for it. He has been living with an older female foster sibling who is not interested in playing and he has been respectful of her. He happily lives with a child in his home and has met many kids in the neighborhood, with whom he is equally gentle and loving. He even went to a Memorial Day parade and was completely unfazed! He is learning signs, so far has mastered sit, and is working on stay and come.

Elliott would enjoy living with a playful sibling or could live as an only dog with regular playdates to get his puppy playtime. He is a true gem and cannot wait to meet his forever family.

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.
