Story
Cattle Dog mix, femaleTiny heeler alert! Gypsy is nothing but sweetness.  Gypsy is around two years old; a cattle dog mix.  She was a little shy at foster, but not anymore!  Gypsy has been hanging out close to her crate, she loves her crate. But I'm encouraging her to hang out on a dog bed with us.  She's housebroken. And sticks close when we're outside. She had a little leash training to do, but she's doing great in a leash now too. Gypsy is very nice with my calm dogs, and noticeably less patient with the curious juveniles. But overall, she's very appropriate with other dogs. She is spayed, chipped, and up to date on shots.  Gypsy is turn key! Gypsy is in Templeton, CA.

Story
Cattle dog mix, male puppyWe pulled him on Tuesday and it’s barely even Thursday - he’s already walking in a perfect heel. They don’t come this way. He was frozen as soon as the leash went on. Lucky for Cargo (and his future family) he’s bunked up with a dog trainer. You can guarantee he’s going to come with all the basics. Cargo is clearly a fast learner. The fulfillment he’s getting from using his brain is helping build confidence and connection to the handler. His shy days are looking more in the rear view and what’s left is a beautiful, happy, ready to learn and please, affectionate boy. Cargo is a 5-6 month old, 36lb Heeler mix. He is dog social (in fact we think it’s best if he goes to a home with another dog), cats and small critters unknown at this time. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night. He’s an all around good boy with tons of potential. Apply now and get your best friend tomorrow! Located in Visalia, CA Cargo is microchipped, on a vaccine schedule, and can go home on a neuter contract.

Story
Cattle Dog mix, adult femaleLike a fine wine, Olivia isn’t meant to be rushed. At first pour, she may seem a little reserved, quietly taking in the room, unsure of unfamiliar hands and new surroundings. But give her time to breathe — space, patience, and gentle consistency — and something beautiful happens. Slowly, her true flavors emerge: a soft gaze that lingers a little longer, a tail that starts to wag just for you, a loyal presence that chooses your side once trust is earned. This is a dog for someone who understands that the best things in life aren’t instant — they’re cultivated. Olivia isn’t flashy or overwhelming. She’s nuanced. Thoughtful. Deeply devoted once opened up. The kind of companion who forms a bond that feels rare because you earned it together. We know Olivia will require a dog friend or two in her new home. She's fantastic in a pack and great in the house.  Loves, loves, loves her off leash time. Although she's wonderful on leash as well. Olivia is a 2 year old, border collie mix located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines.   More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1589146862046962&type=3   Interested in Olivia?  Please complete an application at: http://bit.ly/CCHDR_App  December 29, 2025, 3:08 pm

Story
Cattle Dog mix, maleZion has been emotionally homeless for months! If you know anything about heelers it’s that they need a person to call home. This guy is desperate. All he wants is to load up and standby while you do whatever it is you need to do - laundry, groceries, gardening, emails he doesn’t care as long as he gets to be a part of it. He tolerates other dogs with a proper, steady introduction but what he’d prefer is to be THE ride or die, center of your universe buddy. He is the most loyal, loving, and dedicated dude out there. He is fine with cats, good on / off leash, great recall, crate trained, and more! He’d thrive under the leadership of a calm, confident, training-focused, breed savvy handler. Zion is a 3 year old, 45lb, Queensland heeler mix. He is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines.
