My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Riff is a 3-year-old Blue Heeler mix with loads of personality and energy. He’s affectionate, people-friendly, and highly active — the kind of dog who thrives with purpose, exercise, and consistent leadership. He’s been an indoor companion who also shows strong potential as a working/farm dog. He’s still learning manners (jumps, some chewing) and needs patient, consistent training and a household that can match his activity level.
Ideal home
• Active adults or a family experienced with herding/working breeds.
• A home with a securely fenced yard or farm property where Riff can have tasks or play; suitable for someone who can provide daily structured exercise (long walks, runs, herding tasks, agility, or job-like activities).
• No small dog-only households unless adopter is experienced with dog-dog introductions and supervision.
• A home willing to supervise cat interactions and continue the trusted, gradual approach.
• Riff is untrained but eager; positive reinforcement and clear, consistent boundaries will help quickly.
• Dog-reactivity: avoid off-leash dog park socializing until an adopter works with a trainer; use controlled, desensitization-based introductions if needed.
• Loves water/adventure: kayaking and car trips are clear wins.
