Mav - Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Salamanca, New York

Mav is an approximately 14-week-old Border Collie/Red Heeler mix with the sweetest face, beautiful speckled markings, and a whole lifetime of love to share.

This little guy had a rough start when he injured his leg and needed a cast. Now that he’s healed, he’s ready for his next chapter—a loving home and a family of his very own!

Mav is looking for someone with a kind heart who will help him learn, grow, and discover all the good things puppyhood has to offer. As a young herding-breed mix, he’ll benefit from patient training, daily play, and activities that keep his bright little mind busy.

He’s still a baby, so his new family should be ready to guide him through puppy basics with consistency and plenty of encouragement. In return, they’ll get to watch this little survivor blossom into a beloved companion.

Could you be the happy ending Mav has been waiting for?

Mav is available through Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS).
