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

This handsome guy is around a year old and was found on a rural country road. We believe he may have been dumped off as he stayed in the same spot for over a week. A great person used our live trap and trapped him hoping to make him one of her pack, however, her dogs would not accept Duke and he ended up with us and is now seeking a forever family. He seems to like other dogs and even the barn cats here he wasn't too concerned with. We aren't sure he has ever lived indoors, but really sticks with you once he knows you are a friend.
