Country Bear Jamboree Litter - 2 Females - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in VERNON ROCKVL, Connecticut

The Country Bear Jamboree is officially getting underway! These little Australian Cattle Dog mix puppies have opened their eyes and discovered one another, which means their days now include plenty of tumbling and rassling with their littermates before heading back to Mama for a meal.

They’re still very young—no teeth yet, and their world currently revolves around the puppy pen they share with Mama—but that world is getting more interesting every day. They’re beginning to move around, interact with one another, and show the first little glimpses of the puppies they’re becoming.

Their mama is an Australian Cattle Dog mix who has been doing a wonderful job caring for her babies. Over the coming weeks, the puppies will reach all sorts of milestones as they begin eating on their own, playing in earnest, exploring beyond their pen, and developing individual personalities. We’ll update their profiles as we learn more about what makes each member of this little jamboree special.

The puppies will be ready to join their adoptive families before Halloween, but you don’t have to wait until then to fall in love. Applications are being accepted now, giving approved adopters the opportunity to be matched with a puppy while the litter continues to grow and prepare for life with their new families.

Puppies will be available for adoption throughout Texas through Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue's Austin-area hub. We welcome adopters from across the Lone Star State and work with local fosters to arrange meet-and-greets. Pickup logistics are arranged at adoption.

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.
