Story
Breed: Blue Heeler / cattle dog Meet Billie! She is a wonderful dog. She definitely prefers outside during the day and inside during the night. She does not do well with fireworks, thunder, or other loud sudden noises. It was reported that she got along well with a couple of male socialized dogs, But she does not have a good relationship with our 2 female dogs. She loves to snuggle and will gladly lay with you on the couch, bed, or floor. Those snuggles are her favorite thing. She also enjoys car rides. Belly rubs and food. She does not exhibit any food aggression towards us even when we move the dish, rub her face, or just take the food away before she is finished. Billie enjoys chasing balls but prefers to be chased when she has the ball. She is very good on a leash but does tug a little. She can also be trusted to stay by you if you take her without a leash to get mail or something. So far there have not been any distractions when we have walked her without a leash, but I suspect she might run if she sees another dog. She is house trained and will hold her pee until she just cannot and then rather than pee on the floor, she will dribble on herself. It is possible there might be a bladder issue there. She really tries extremely hard to learn and obey and she is certainly teachable. She understands basic commands such as sit, shake hands, lay down and wait. Billie would do well with a large, fenced yard and children to play with. I have zero worries about her and my children. She is high energy and enjoys running with you, from you, or chasing you. She seems to prefer women to men but enjoys both. Bringing her indoors at night to sleep or during noise events (fireworks, shooting, thunderstorms) is important. She enjoys being in the company of humans indoors or outdoors. Once she gets comfortable, she would prefer to spend every waking moment with you. She is certainly affectionate with us. She is just a joy to have. If she got along with our other dogs, we would gladly keep her. I do not have the experience or time to work on this with her, but I'm sure that if someone were to work with her just a couple times a day for 20 or 30 minutes, she can be trained to have a good relationship with other dogs. She's a herd dog by nature so we are guessing she could work well with livestock with the right training. In hot weather she tends to dig in the shade to keep cool.

Story
Zen was rescued from a backyard breeder 5 years ago and has been a wonderful member of my family. Unfortunately, he has a lot of energy and with my new work schedule I don’t have as much playtime to devote to him as he deserves. He loves treats, cuddles, and toys, and he’s a very fast learner.

Story
This is Luna, we are unfortunately having to rehome her. She is a fun loving, intelligent an adventurous little dog! She's about a year old, Australian Cattle Dog or Red Heeler. She is good with kids and adults, and submissive or younger dogs. She's never been around small animals or cats, so I don't know how she would react. We have an older (10yr) dog, which has been with us for a long time. And she is causing him constant stress, and behavior issues we have never had before. She's a little standoff-ish around new people but warms up pretty quickly. We have multiple children from 13 to 3, and our youngest just doesn't get along with her. I believe it's mostly my child's issues, Luna is just being a puppy. She's super eager to learn and have all the attention, but with a full family schedule it's been too much of a struggle for us. And we think Luna deserves better.
