Breed
Cattle Dog, Australian (Blue Heeler)
Sex
Male
Age
1 Year and 11 Months old
Rocket was found just down the street from our rescue — an area that is sadly known for dumped dogs. Despite that rough start, this handsome boy hasn’t let it dull his shine one bit!
Rocket is a smart, loving, and active Heeler with all the classic Heeler tendencies. He’s alert, loyal, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether it’s exploring the yard, going for walks, or learning something new, Rocket is happiest when he has a job to do and his people by his side.
He’s good with both people and other dogs, and he bonds closely with his humans. As a true Heeler, he thrives with structure, activity, and mental stimulation — he’s not just a dog, he’s a partner!
Rocket is ready to blast off into his forever home with a family who understands his breed and will give him the love, guidance, and activity he needs to shine.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
