Adopt a Queensland Heeler in Arizona

Queensland Heelers — another name for Australian Cattle Dogs — are tough, smart, and tireless herding dogs that need a job to be happy. They end up in rescue when their drive overwhelms suburban families. A rescued Heeler shines with active owners who can channel their energy.

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.
