Bluey - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Living a life on the streets is tough for a dog who just wants to be part of a family. We don't always know the circumstances of how a stray dog got lost, but we are always thankful for the people who get these dogs to the Anti-Cruelty Society in search of new homes. This dog has gone through all the required legal stray holds and is just waiting for you to visit and decide that they are the one. It is always important to give dogs with unknown histories some time and space to decompress and get used to living in a new home. With new sights, smells and sounds, there's a lot for a stray dog to take in. Set them up for success by always keeping them safely secured (and wearing proper identification) when outside the home and using positive reinforcement training techniques to help bond with your dog.

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. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
