Boston Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Lucy

Lil Lucy is a ball of energy and full of love. This little darling is a joy to be around. She is one of the happiest young dogs we have. We rescued Lucy from a high kill shelter when her time was up due to space limitations. She is just precious.

Lucy loves everyone she meets and other dogs. She doesn’t like cats so much though. She can be a bit chatty. She doesn’t want to be ignored or miss out on fun and affection. She is incredibly smart. She is a pleaser and listens to direction and takes guidance very well. She learns quickly. Lucy is petite at just 30 lbs. She looks to have some terrier in her maybe Boston terrier, mixed with Australian Cattle dog or beagle perhaps? She’s a little beauty with her glossy brownish/black coat, warm brown eyes, athletic build and happy demeanor. Lucy engages with people and warms up quickly. Fun is fun! She walks well on a leash but can be a little pully. She is energetic and wiggly. A fenced yard will be a must to keep her safe. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, gentle and snuggly, when she is ready to settle in. We just love everything about her. Lucy will be a terrific companion for an active family. She will not be happy in a sedentary family. She likes to play and explore, especially at this young stage of her life. If looking for a lifelong companion, full of fun and love, Lucy is a great girl.

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 Boston Terrier is a lively and friendly breed known for its tuxedo like coat and charming personality. Originating in the United States, this compact yet sturdy dog is a favorite companion pet due to its playful nature and affectionate demeanor. Boston Terriers are intelligent and easy to train, making them great family dogs. Their distinctive looks, combined with their friendly and sociable temperament, make them an ideal choice for both novice and experienced dog owners alike.
