Catahoula Leopard Dog and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Cubby — The Blue‑Speckled Boy With a Heart of Gold

Say hello to Cubby, a 1.5‑year‑old, ~40lbs Catahoula x Australian Cattle Dog mix with some of the most striking markings you’ll ever see. His coat is a soft, blue‑black‑white leopard pattern that turns heads everywhere he goes.

Cubby is currently being fostered in the Houston, Texas area, but please don’t let distance hold you back. Transport is easy, fast, and safe — what matters most is that Cubby is seen and chosen by the person meant for him.

This happy‑go‑lucky boy loves people and enjoys being around other dogs. He greets new friends with a wagging tail and an open heart, always ready to give and receive affection. He plays beautifully with dogs his size, though he can be a bit shy around larger, wild pups. (His foster home doesn’t have cats, so we’re unsure about his feelings toward them.)

Cubby is leash trained, crate trained, and has a comfortable medium energy level. He adores spending time outside with his foster siblings, exploring the yard and soaking up the sunshine. Indoors, he’s a snuggly sweetheart who curls up on his fluffy bed with a stuffed toy or stretches out for belly rubs. Cubby is also a great co-pilot and loves going on car adventures - anywhere you want to go, he's game! He’s house trained, gentle, smart, and eager to please — the full package.

Cubby is microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. Cubby’s ideal home includes a fenced‑in yard where he can play safely, and people who are home often enough to give him the companionship he thrives on. He’s wonderful with men, women, and children, making him a fantastic family dog or a devoted companion for someone looking for a loyal friend.

Currently in Texas; transport available to most Midwest & Northeast states.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle.

Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The Catahoula Leopard Dog, a unique and versatile breed originally from Louisiana, is known for its striking coat patterns resembling a leopard.
