Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog in Colorado

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.

Colorado's rescue dog community is active and well-supported, particularly around Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. Many Colorado rescues transport dogs from overcrowded shelters in nearby states. A rescued Colorado dog often comes from an active, well-funded organization.
