Australian Cattle Dog puppies and dogs in Keene, New Hampshire

Willie is a calm and sweet natured puppy with a quiet and loving presence. He enjoys being around his people and will happily nap nearby, but he is also perfectly content curling up in his own dog bed and doing his own thing. Willie tends to sit back and observe, taking in the world at his own pace. He does well with dogs of all sizes and ages and is comfortable sharing space with them. Cats are a bit intimidating to him, so he politely avoids them and gives them space. He has a nicely balanced energy level, enjoying playtime and gentle exploration before settling in to relax. Willie is learning sit and is already showing how attentive and willing he is to learn. He handles baths and nail trims well and takes it all in stride. Potty training is going very well. Willie prefers going outside but also uses a potty pad when needed. Willie would be a wonderful fit for a home looking for a puppy who is affectionate without being demanding, calm without being shy, and happy to be both a companion and an independent little soul.

River is your confident little sidekick-in-training, with that “new place? new people? cool, I’m in” kind of energy. She’s fostered in a loving home with an older pitbull she adores playing with, and she’s the type of girl who walks into a room, makes a new friend immediately and promptly checks on the snack situation. River is estimated to be 6 months old, currently weighs 21 lbs with some growing to do, and all signs point to he being a cattle dog/heeler type. No guarantees of course given she is a rescue. River has great basic leash skills and meets new people with friendly confidence. She’s super affectionate and will pop up for some love, but it’s the sweet kind of “hi, nice to meet you. I like you!” enthusiasm, not a wild child moment. She welcomes pets and will immediately circle back for more pets if you happen to stop, because attention is one of her favorite hobbies. Insider tip- River loves treats and takes them gently, which makes her a dream for bonding, training, and general “yes, I work for snacks” negotiations. Want to see River in action? Head to YouTube for “River | Confident Adventure Pal” https://youtu.be/HdPOJnqrqg4 River is polite and confident meeting new dogs. She likes to get a feel of the vibe before jumping right into a play session but once she does- its all play even with pushier, rough and tumble dogs. She offers play bows, will chase and be chase, roll with the tumbles, and keep coming back for more. She’ll be happiest with a medium-energy dog buddy who enjoys chase and play without being overly pushy, since she can get understandably annoyed if a dog plays too intense and doesn’t take breaks Home-life wise, River could thrive in a house with a yard or an apartment setup, especially in an area where she can get consistent outings. She’s a heeler-type girl, so having regular walks, hikes, and “let’s learn something fun” time will make her shine. Treat-motivated + confident = a dog who’s ready to become someone’s hiking pal, training partner, and everyday bestie. Quick highlights: * Confident and affectionate with new people * Treat-motivated, gentle and smart * Dog-friendly with a preference for happy-go-lucky play pals * Adventure-ready! Bring on the walks, hikes, and training-yes please! If you’re looking for a smart, confident companion with a playful side and a heart that leans in for friendship, River is here and calling your name.

Ember – 9-Week-Old Heeler Mix | Sweet Snuggler with the Perfect Balance Ember truly is the best of both worlds — she has that joyful puppy playfulness everyone loves, paired with an impressive “off switch” that makes her an expert snuggler. She enjoys romping around with toys, exploring her surroundings, and engaging in gentle play, but when it’s time to relax, Ember is more than happy to curl up close and soak up all the affection she can get. For such a young puppy, Ember has a wonderfully easygoing temperament. She transitions smoothly between active playtime and quiet downtime and seems very in tune with her own needs. When she’s ready for a nap, she will seek out a quiet corner and settle herself in, content and calm. Adding to her charm, Ember has adorable short legs that make her even more irresistible and give her a uniquely cute, compact look as she toddles around. Ember is already doing incredibly well with her routine. She is potty trained and can be kenneled without being destructive. While she tolerates her kennel nicely, she is very people-oriented and will let you know if she’s unhappy — especially if her family is home and she can see or hear them. She simply prefers to be near her people whenever possible, which makes her a loving and devoted companion in the making. Ember would be a wonderful fit for a family looking for an affectionate puppy who enjoys playtime but isn’t nonstop go-go-go. She has all the makings of a pup who will grow into both an adventurous sidekick and a cozy couch companion. Ember is currently being fostered in a home in Texas and can be transported after adoption.

*Due to state laws regarding out of state adoptions, we cannot adopt to families in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.* Bruno is a 4 year old heeler mix who loves treats and going for walks. He does fine with other dogs and can be tested with cats upon request.  Listed breed is an educated guess made by our veterinarian and is NOT a guarantee - this also means we have no way of knowing what a puppy's adult size will be. This dog is currently being fostered in Mississippi and will be transported via Barton's Barkers transport services upon adoption. Their adoption fee is $500 and includes spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, a nose to tail vet check, microchip and transport costs. Second Chances lists dogs as being available in White River Junction, VT because we transport our dogs to the area every 3rd week after they have been adopted. All of our local shelters have a high euthanasia rate due to overpopulation so we created our rescue group to primarily adopt to the northern states to help keep as many dogs as we can from entering our kill shelters.   ##2118991##
