Australian Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Riggs!! Riggs was adopted from us about a year and a half ago as a pup, and life happens and humans have to move. In spite of the fact that they told us this would not happen, it did, so he is back with us as an adult. He is about 70 lbs of high energy, but he is full grown now. He is good with other dogs and would do well in a home with lots of room for him to go, go, go. A fenced in area would be great! And lots of balls and toys too! He is neutered and microchipped and fully vaccinated now. If you are interested, please go to our website, pet-tracs.com to submit our online adoption application. Riggs' adoption fee is $200.
