Story
Bucky is a 5-6 year old blue heeler. He has been neutered and is up to date on his shots. Bucky has lived with another blue heeler since I got him and does well with other dogs. He is very loyal sweet and cuddly. However that does make him protective. He takes a little while to warm up to new people in his home but very friendly out in public. I cannot keep him but due to a divorce my housing has changed. He is a heeler so does have the tendency to nip and chase but has never bit anyone. He needs a home with a large yard or someone who will take him for runs. He truly is a very sweet and loving dog. All he wants is to be next to you and snuggle. He isn’t good with cats as he likes to chase them. This could change with better exercise or age.

Story
My name is John, and Im a three-year-old Blue Heeler mix with energy to spare and a heart ready for adventure. If youre the kind of person who loves getting outside, exploring new places, and staying active, I think we might be a perfect match. Im the kind of dog who lights up the moment you grab a leash or toss a ball - playtime, walks, hikes, you name it, Im in.<br/><br/>Im also a pretty smart guy, if I do say so myself. Give me a treat and a little direction, and Ill absolutely crush any obedience class you put me in. Learning new tricks, practicing good manners, working my brain - its all just as fun to me as a romp in the park. Speaking of parks, I love those too.<br/><br/>What Im really looking for is a family whos as excited about life as I am. Someone who wants a buddy to join them on trails, in the yard, or wherever the next fun moment happens to be. Bring the whole crew to meet me so we can see if were the adventure team Ive been dreaming of.

Story
Meet Mia ❤️ Dog Friendly | Kid Friendly | Cat Friendly Heeler looking for someone to give her the chance she deserves. Mia is a 4-year-old, 50 lb red heeler with a heart that is somehow even bigger than her story. After getting out one day, she returned home unable to use her back legs — and sadly, no medical care was sought for months. Mia had been dragging herself, leaving wounds on her back legs and living in a way no dog ever should. When Mia first arrived to us, she couldn’t walk more than a couple steps without falling. It was clear she had gone far too long without the care she deserved. And yet… Mia never stopped loving people or trying her hardest to adapt. With supportive medical care — including steroids, bladder support medications, and surgery to treat early pyometra — Mia has made incredible progress. She now has motor function and pain sensation in her back legs and can walk on her own, though she may still fall, especially when she gets tired. One leg is a bit weaker than the other, and she has some remaining neurological deficits, but she continues to adapt and improve. 💛 What life with Mia looks like Mia is not a high-energy heeler — she’s the opposite. She’s happiest lounging in the sun, curled up next to her people, or soaking up all the love she can get. She doesn’t need long walks or big adventures. She just wants you. She will need a home that understands her physical needs: • May need help getting into cars or onto higher surfaces • Can do some stairs depending on setup (may need spotting) • Should have her feet protected on rough surfaces • Occasional accidents due to bladder challenges — improving with medication, but adopters should be prepared to continue working with a vet We don’t know exactly what caused Mia’s injury, and getting definitive answers would require advanced imaging and a neurology consult. What we do know is this: she has come so far, and she’s ready to be loved exactly as she is. 💛 The perfect home for Mia • Lower-energy, patient home • Someone comfortable with a dog that may have some simple physical challenges • Mia can live in a home with cats that enjoy play. However older cats who don’t appreciate play may not be a good fit for Mia. • Dog friendly - understanding that Mia can’t physically participate in crazy zoomies and wrestling. Calm canine companions would be the perfect match for her! • Mia has lived in a home with kids in her previous home and in foster, but supervision is important with any real littles — she can lose balance and accidentally knock them over • Would be best fit in a house (she can be vocal if she hears a bunch of excitement outside!) 💛 A few Mia-isms (because she’s still a heeler 😂) • VERY food motivated • Will bark at outside noises, people, and passing cars • Not a fan of vacuums • Mild food guarding — easily managed by feeding separately in her crate • Sleeps great in her crate For those who have met Mia, one thing is universally agreed upon: She is pure love. She is the kind of dog who bonds deeply, who looks at you like you are her entire world, who doesn’t need perfection — just someone willing to show her the life she always deserved. Mia has already been through more than most dogs ever should. Now it’s her turn for the good part. This sweet girl deserves a chance. We know the unknowns might make you scroll on, but we promise if you meet her in person and see just how special she is, you will see just how worthy she is of a loving forever home. She will bring joy to your life, and without a doubt is the missing piece your home is looking for to be complete. Mia is eligible for our foster to adopt program, meaning you can take a couple weeks getting to know each other in your home before making it official. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Koda ❤️ Koda is an 8-year-old red heeler mix who is incredibly smart, loyal, and looking for a very specific kind of home where he can truly thrive. Koda recently lost the only home he’s ever known because his family is growing and Koda has a tough time adjusting to the unpredictable nature of children. While that transition has been tough, he’s already starting to settle and show us who he really is. Each day, he’s becoming more relaxed and comfortable in foster care —but he will need a patient, committed adopter who understands that trust and learning a new routine takes time. The Basics • Potty trained & crate trained • Lived successfully with a small dog (mini dachshund) most of his life after a very slow and thoughtful introduction • He wants to be part of a “pack” Home Requirements Koda would do best in an adult-only home or one with older, respectful children (8+). He is not comfortable with young kids, especially if they are loud, unpredictable, or in his space. He will need slow, thoughtful introductions to other dogs, and at this time, would do best as the only dog or with a very experienced home willing to manage introductions carefully. No cats due to his prey drive. What He’s Working On Koda can be reactive on leash and in the yard, especially toward people and other dogs. He may lunge, bark, and pull, so he will need someone physically capable and committed to continuing his training. The good news? He is incredibly intelligent and already working on improving his leash manners in foster care. Breed Traits & Needs Koda is every bit the cattle dog he was born to be—smart, driven, and full of energy, even at 8 years old. He is not a “yard-only” or “couch potato” dog. A fenced yard alone won’t meet his needs. To truly thrive, Koda will need: • Daily physical exercise (hikes, walks, running) • Ongoing training and structure • Mental enrichment (puzzle toys, tasks, or a “job”) Personality Koda is a good dog with a big brain and a loyal heart. He isn’t overly cuddly, but he does show affection in his own way—whether that’s relaxing next to you on the couch or simply wanting to be near his person. He’s happiest when he has purpose and engagement. For the right person, someone who understands working breeds and is ready to invest in him, Koda has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you’re looking for a smart, active dog and are ready to give Koda the structure and commitment he deserves, he just might be your perfect match. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
