Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Pepper!

I'm a soft, sweet girl with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. I love a good game of fetch just as much as I love curling up for a cozy snuggle session. Whether we're running around outside or settling in for quiet time, I'm happiest just being by your side.

I get along with everyone — people, kids, dogs, even cats. If you've got a heartbeat, I probably want to be your friend.

I'll be honest — I do take a little time to warm up to new humans. I just like to make sure you're safe and kind. But once I decide you're my person, I give you my whole heart. When you come home, I'll be so excited that I might even leap right into your arms. That's just my way of saying, “I missed you more than anything.”

If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves to play, loves to cuddle, and loves you with her entire soul, I think we might be a perfect match.

I could benefit from a little extra reinforcement with my basic training. I know some commands, but when the toys come out, my excitement sometimes takes over and I momentarily forget my manners. With a quick pause in play and a reminder that the game doesn't continue until I listen, I refocus quickly — I just need a bit more practice.

I'm fully potty trained and kennel trained, though I'd much rather be curled up next to you on the couch or snuggled in bed. At heart, I'm a playful girl who loves structure but absolutely adores being close to my people.

A few important things to know about me: I recently had a mast cell tumor removed from my front right leg, and I'm still finishing up my recovery. I'm happy to do meet and greets, but I can't go to my forever home until I'm fully healed — which should be around February 1st. I promise I'll be worth the wait.

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.
