Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog in Tennessee

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.

Tennessee has a large rescue dog population, particularly in rural counties outside Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The state is a major source for transport networks across the country. A rescued Tennessee dog often comes from a high-need shelter where alternatives are limited.
