Australian Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Dallas, Texas

Say hello to Ellie!

This beautiful girl is about 3.5-4 years old, 50 lbs, and an Aussie/Cattle Dog/Heeler mix with the perfect blend of brains, loyalty, and sweetness!

Ellie is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people—she’s friendly, loving, and has an all-around wonderful disposition. She’s great with kids, housebroken, and crate trained… basically, she’s got the foundation everyone hopes for in a dog!

Why we love Ellie:
Friendly and affectionate
Great with kids
Housebroken & crate trained
Smart and eager to connect with her people- takes redirection well
Loyal, loving, and full of personality

Dog friends: Ellie can be a bit selective—she enjoys some dogs and isn’t a fan of others, so she may thrive best as your one-and-only (and trust us, she’s more than enough love to go around 💕)

Leash skills: Ellie does need a little work here—she doesn’t get out for walks as often as she should right now, so she can get excited, pull, and jump on leash. The good news? That’s a very fixable behavior with consistency and a little time. She’s a smart girl and will absolutely improve with the right guidance!

Home needs: Because of her breed and energy level, Ellie will need a home with a yard to run and play—no apartments for this girl.

Foster plea: Ellie would truly benefit from a foster who can spend a bit more time working with her and helping her shine. Even a temporary foster for just 2 weeks could make a huge difference in setting her up for success—or better yet, an adopter ready to give her the forever home she’s been waiting for!

This sweet girl has been patiently waiting and we just don’t understand how she keeps getting overlooked… could you be her person?

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.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities.
