Story
“You can’t resist reading Pointer’s profile  because he is so darn cute, but Pointer isn’t for everyone. Pointer is a Blue Heeler mix, weighing in at less than 30 lbs. Just like bigger herding dogs, Pointer likes to chase, herd, nip heels and is very strong-willed. Pointer needs lots of exercise and must have mental stimulation throughout the day. He enjoys learning commands and working on his obedience commands and would make an excellent agility, nose work, scent work or other sport participant. Pointer is not a couch potato and when left to entertain himself, he can get into trouble. Pointer needs a person who is experienced with herding breeds or dogs who are competitive in sports and are not put off by his strong personality.  With the right person, Pointer can be the ultimate friend!  I would not be a candidate for an apartment, condo/townhome or a home without a fence. If interested in giving me a forever home please complete an application at www.safeanimalhaven.com Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler Characteristics Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard-muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns blue-gray or red. Both coat varieties feature distinctive mottling or specking patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at hunting, chasing, and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners.ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, ever alert, and wary of strangers. If an ACD isn’t challenged, he easily becomes bored and gets into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with their dog in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep him mentally and physically fit.November 5, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Danny's tender, young life had been a tough road that ended with him being dumped at the shelter gravely wounded.  He had been dragged "accidentallly" by the truck taking him to the shelter to be dumped and his feet were raw, bloody and extremely painful and had some other cuts and bruises...he was lucky to be alive.   He could barely walk let alone stand without being in excruciating pain. This poor guy had been through so much in his very young life that we had to save him and get him whole and painfree.  It was a tough road as you can imagine but he was always such a great patient and he could tell we were trying to help him.  Weeks upon weeks of having to wear an Elizabethan collar and lots of TLC from us, he was mended and we began to see his amazing little personality shine through.   He just blossomed and has become the sweetest, funniest boy!  He loves to play with other dogs but is also content to play with toys by himself.  He is also very happy basking in the sun.   Danny is a smart boy and is willing to please.  He is food motivated so training him is a breeze.  He's a younger adult with lots of energy so an active person or family with children over 10 would be perfect.  He deserves his happily ever and his REAL day in the sun! If interested in possibly meeting him, please go to freedomfarmrescue.com and fill out an online application. We just like to know a little about you prior to a meet and greet.

Story
Hi, I’m Oreo! I’m a 1-year-old Blue Heeler mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. I’m smart, energetic, and always ready for my next adventure—whether that’s going for walks, playing fetch, or exploring the yard with my favorite people. I’m still young, so I’d love a family that can help keep my mind busy and teach me fun new things. Heelers are known for being loyal, and I’m no exception—I love being close to my humans and soaking up attention. After I’ve burned off some energy, I’m happy to curl up nearby and relax. If you’re looking for a fun, loving best friend who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle companion, I might just be your perfect match. Come meet me soon—I can’t wait to be part of your family! I am currently part of the Direct to Adopt Program in Austin, TX. With a committed adopter or foster, I can be transported to The Shelter Pet Adoption Center inside Petco, located at 10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville, NC 28078 on May 28th, 2026. If you’d like more information about me or want to talk about fostering or adopting, please reach out to my team by Email: NCteam@austinpetsalive.org or call: (704) 266-3647
