Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Medium
Stevie Nix is a purebred Blue Heeler looking for her perfect forever family. She is everything you would expect from her breed - she is smart, loyal, energetic, and always ready and willing to work. Heelers were bred to herd cattle and put in long hours. If not given an appropriate job to do, they tend to put themselves to work. Stevie will need a family that can provider with the daily physical and mental stimulation she needs to thrive. She would excel in obedience classes and would very likely enjoy learning agility and lots of new and exciting tricks. She would do best in a home with older children (10 years +). She does well with other dogs but would do best with another dog with a similar energy and intensity level. If you are looking for a smart, loyal, eager to please dog, look no further! Stevie Nix is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, started on monthly heartworm & flea/tick prevention, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300 plus tax.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. |
