Rescue
Below are details of Australian Cattle Dogs that are currently looking for a good home. If you would like to provide that home, please contact our rescue co-ordinator Stella Smyth by phone on (0118) 979 3399
If you are considering rehoming your Australian Cattle Dog, please contact the dog’s breeder in the first instance. If you are unable to make contact with them, please contact Stella Smyth as above.
Please note: ACD rescue is run exclusively by breed enthusiasts in their own time using money from their own pockets. As such, the ACD Society has a separate Welfare Account which holds funds to assist with the costs of rehoming ACDs where needed. To make a donation to the Welfare Account, please contact our treasurer by email on: hilarypowell63@icloud.com
Adam Beral replied:
Have you seen an ACD advertised for rescue that isn’t listed on this page? Perhaps it is on an internet site or in your local rescue kennels and the ACD Society don’t know about it? Are you a breeder wanting to rehome a returned dog? If so, leave a comment below and we can all work together to try and find them a forever home. Links to adverts on other websites are welcomed.

I lost my gorgeous Blue, she was red 🙂 she was amazing, she was the best frisby catcher, she even did the showing off jumps, we had her for 7 and a half fun filled years until she ate rat/slug poison a month ago, 2 weeks before she was going to fly back to the uk with us, the whole family miss her heaps 😦
We are hoping to get another dog because our daughters dog misses her too and researching most breeds we have decided our next dog can only be an Australian Cattle dog, they are fun, loyal, obedient, excellent to train and such good company.
I suppose my point is, if you have any puppies or very young females, would you let me know please 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Hi,
I need help finding a good home for our ACD, he is a four – five year old stumpy tailed cattle dog that we originally took in as a rescue (in Australia) and bought back to this country last year. He is red/white and is just a big cat really, loves to sit on laps. He deserves a wonderful home with lots of attention but we just cant provide it at the minute, please help.

Hello,
I am a Texan living in the north UK. I have had dogs all my life, but my last dog ‘Blue,’ a Blue Heeler/ German Shepherd cross, was an exceptional companion and friend that watched over me constantly. He had a black patch over an eye and was a blue merril color. 7 yrs ago, in Texas, he was tragically killed by a Javalina hog that I know now he protected me from. Though I now live in a small cottage without a yard, I have considered giving an older, well trained heeler mx a home because I have access to the moors. I would appreciate being in touch if a good match comes available. Thank you.

Hi, I have a beautiful blue heeler boomer that is very well trained (spent years and thousands of pounds on training him) sadly due to marriage breakup he is no longer getting the life he deserves! Boomer is beautiful but has a few quirky traits that need to be discussed and fully understood.
I also live in the north and would be very happy to introduce boomer to you over a period of time to allow him to settle and get used to his new surroundings. He is a very loyal, loving, pleasureable well trained dog that is missing out on life at the minute. If you would be interested in meeting boomer please let me know.
Thanks
Mandy.

Hi Mandy,
Thank you for replying. I am so sorry you are having to re-home Boomer. I am visiting in the States until the first of October, but will talk with my husband and get back to you. In the meantime, if another prospect for Boomer comes up please don’t pass it up. It sounds like Boomer is young and active, and with the limited space we have in our home, HE might not consider it adequate. In any case, I will contact you when we arrive back home.
All the best

Emma Lee replied:
Hi, I work in a refuge in SW France and we have a blue heeler that has come in from a puppy farm. He is in good condition although he has a sordid history and has been living in the dark most of his life. He is now castrated. He’s called Droopy (I know – doesn’t bode well for an ex-stud dog!) Droopy is smart and very affectionate. He loves cuddles, walks well on the lead and is fine with other males and with cats. He is a bit of a digger judging from his ‘digger’ face on arrival, but I suspect that was boredom and lack of guidance. He has been waiting for a home for three weeks, which is unusual for a pedigree dog. However, ACDs are not popular or known in France. Of all the breeds, there is not an association set up in France that takes a specific interest in them.
It would not be much of a problem to get him over to the UK but I didn’t want to impose. Having worked in UK rescue, I know things are not much different on the other side of the channel and you might not want to consider animals from abroad.

Hello everyone,
I had an amazing Blue Heeler cross with a Welsh Border collie for 13 wonderful years. We both shared the best life spending almost everyday together, I took her everywhere, although she would argue SHE took me everywhere!
She died peacefully in my arms 5 weeks ago tonight as I held her close and said goodbye, the next day I buried her in my garden. Very sad yes, but happy in the fact that she was so loved and had a full, happy life.
I am trawling the internet trying to find another ACN mix but cannot find one. Is there anyone who can help? I would give the dog a great, active, outdoor life.
Thanks!

Hi. I have a 12 month old male ACD. My husband has always wanted one, I was reluctant to it as we have 2 bulldogs who are easy and lazy! We also have twins on the way and we can’t give him what he deserves. My husband doesn’t want him to go, but i feel a third dog has changed the dynamics of our little family with our other dogs. Our ACD is amazing. He’s so clever, good with children and other dogs and he loves to learn. He needs someone that doesn’t work and maybe lives on a farm and would work him and train him, like he’s bred to do. His mind is constant and it needs to be put to use!

Hi
I grew up with an ACD in Australia and I remember him being loving, fun, loyal, obedient and protective.
I am thinking of bringing one or maybe two (to keep each other company).
I do not want puppies.
We have a number of acres and a stream with sheep on the other side. The sheep are not ours and the dog/s would not be allowed to chase them or go on that land, everything is fenced.
We live in Winchester.
Can anyone help?

Wendy Broughton replied:
To answer your question honestly, you can get a cattledog and socialise like mad, but, once they reach maturity it is common for them to become extremely choosy who they want to be friends with, and can be reactive. I find that they are ok with dogs they have already met when young, but have to be carefully introduced to strangers.

Hi,
We now have space in our home and our lives for another rescue dog. We are attracted to the acd characteristics and would like to investigate adoption of a rescue.
Not fussed over age or colour, just happy to offer a home where needed.
I would be grateful if you could let me know how best to move forward.
Kind regards
Ade

Hi, I would suggest you contact Stella ( details above ) as she maintains a list of people who are interested in rehoming. She will need some details so that she is in a position to ‘match’ you should a red bitch come up.

Hi Hilary, we live in rural home with 20acres of land, we have 3 dogs, 2x Jack Russell brother and sister 8 years old, great dogs and do a great job controlling vermin and rabbits and we also have a beautiful 13 year old rough collie we rescued 6 years ago, we were told by vet she may not have to much longer left but without letting her suffer we hope we will still have a good while with her yet. I love what I have heard about ACD and Stumpy tail dogs, do they mix well with other dogs and kids, we 3 children aged 5,8&9 all grown up with and they are very respectful of dogs? Rob & Sarah

Hilary Powell replied:
Hi, It would be quite a different scenario placing a rescue into an existing pack rather than a puppy. it is very unusual for a rehome dog not to have issues of one sort or another. The breed does tend to be feisty with other dogs and are true to what they are breed to do. I would suggest you contact Stella ( as above ). However, if you email me on hilarypowell63@icloud.com i can send you some information on the breed and a list of KC registered breeders if you wish. joining the Facebook group : Australian Cattle Dogs GB is a good way to gain insight into the breed.
