Pit Bull Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption

Ivy is doing so well after recovering from mastitis! She was spayed last week, and we also had to make the medical decision to dock her tail due to severe “happy tail” and deterioration at the end. She's just such a happy, grateful girl that her tail never stops wagging, and unfortunately it wouldn't heal properly. She's feeling great now! She even got to briefly see her baby, Rowan, the other day. Ivy is 3 years old, weighs 47.2 lbs, and we believe she's an American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is both kennel trained and potty trained. She loves playing with her canine foster siblings and would thrive in a home with another dog. She's very curious about the resident house cat, but hasn't gotten close enough for a proper “boop” just yet. This sweet girl is ready to find her forever family! If you think Ivy would be a great addition to your family, please submit an application at www.rescuerowinc.org.

Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.

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 Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
