Story
Meet Bluebell!
Breed: Australian KelpieGender: FemaleAge: [AGE]Size: 35 lbsGood with: Families, best as an only dog
Bluebell is a success story in the making! This Australian Kelpie came to us extremely obese, but she's been absolutely crushing her diet journey and is now trim as ever. She's proof that with the right support and structure, amazing transformations are possible. We're so proud of how far she's come!
Fair warning: Bluebell has medical needs and will likely require medication for the rest of her life. This isn't a deal-breaker—it just means she needs a committed owner who can stay on top of her healthcare routine. In return, you get a happy-go-lucky girl who loves play and, let's be honest, clearly LOVES snacks (hence the whole diet situation). She's food-motivated in the best possible way, which makes training a breeze!
Bluebell would do best as an only dog where she can be the star of the show without having to share resources or attention. She'd do well in a family setting where she can soak up all the love from multiple people. She's playful and enjoys her fun time, but she's not going to run you ragged—she's more about balanced activity than nonstop energy.
If you're looking for a companion with a success story behind her, can commit to her medical care, and don't mind a dog who thinks snack time is the best time, Bluebell is ready to bring joy and affection into your home as your one and only furry family member!

Disclaimer: The information in this profile reflects observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions.
ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org
Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs.
