Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog in Arizona

Australian Cattle Dogs — also called Blue Heelers — are tough, intelligent, and intensely driven herding dogs. They land in rescue when owners don't anticipate their non-stop energy and need for a job. A rescued ACD in an active, structured home is loyal beyond measure.

Arizona's rescue dog network is large and well-organized, especially across Phoenix, Tucson, and the surrounding communities. The state has high shelter populations year-round due to climate and border-region strays. A rescued Arizona dog often comes from a high-volume metro shelter.
