Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Lily — Cuteness Overload in Puppy Form

Lily may have been born to a feral mama, but you’d never guess it by the way she melts into a couch like she’s been practicing her whole life. This adorable girl has traded survival mode for snuggle mode — and she is thriving.

Rescued and now safe, Lily is blossoming into the most affectionate little couch potato you could ever hope to meet. She loves being close to her people, soaking up attention, and settling in for cozy downtime just as much as she enjoys a little playful romp.

Lily gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats, making her an easy addition to a multi-pet home. She has that perfect mix of sweet and silly — playful when it’s time to have fun, and perfectly content to curl up beside you afterward. She is highly intelligent and listens intently to her foster mom, knows basic commands and is leash trained. Lily loves to go for car rides- so load her up and take her home today!

We believe she’s a mix of several breeds, possibly Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, and Labrador — which basically translates to smart, loyal, and ridiculously lovable. Whatever her DNA says, the result is pure charm.

If you’re looking for a puppy who is equal parts brains, beauty, and snuggly goodness, Lily is ready to bring her cuteness (and her heart) home to you.

Note: Adoption Policy: Montague County Animal Rescue typically does not adopt dogs to homes where they will live primarily outdoors. We believe every dog deserves to be part of the family and live safely indoors. Exceptions may be made for specific breeds or unique circumstances where an outdoor environment is appropriate and secure.

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 Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic dog breed known for their herding capabilities and exceptional obedience. Originating from the border regions of Scotland and England, these agile and versatile dogs are famous for their focus, stamina, and trainability. With their striking black and white coat and intense gaze, Border Collies excel in various canine sports and activities, making them ideal companions for active families and individuals seeking a loyal and dynamic pet.
