Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Stanton, Kentucky

Scarlett: Young (1 year old) - active, small - medium in size. Approx 26 lbs.

Scarlett is described as great with children, a loving and loyal family member, good with other dogs and even livestock. She is smart and very trainable. She was inside and outside kept in her previous home. She was relunctantly surrendered as the family has a special needs child and the combined necessary attention and activity was challenging to accommodate in full. They describe her as initially timid with new folks, but is soon very affectionate and loving. They also suggest she be fed separately from a new dog until she fully adjust.

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.
