Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog in Arkansas

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.

Arkansas has a large rural rescue dog population, with significant numbers in Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith. Many rural shelters operate at capacity and transport dogs to higher-demand regions. A rescued Arkansas dog often benefits especially from adoption.
