Texas Cattle Dog Rescue is a 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation and all donations are tax deductible!
Our Mission is to:
To reduce the shocking number of Cattle Dogs that are being euthanized in Texas shelters.
To match each dog that we save with a forever home where he/she will be loved, cared for, and fully enjoyed.
To educate current & future owners so that fewer ACDs will end up abandoned or in shelters and so that ACD-owners will get to experience their dog's fullest potential.
We strongly believe in spaying and neutering all pets. Our dogs will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested before going to a new home.
Learn More About Cattle Dogs/Heelers
Australian Cattle Dogs are also known as heelers, blue heelers, red heelers and Queensland heelers.
The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) was developed in the mid-to-late 1800's in Australia where the stockmen were desperately in need of a dog that had the stamina to withstand the rigors of the harsh conditions in their country. The Cattle Dog is a hearty, healthy breed that has an average lifespan of 12-15 years. They are a medium sized muscular dog that stands 17 to 20 inches at the shoulders and weighs between 30 and 50 lbs. Learn more on our Texas Cattle Dog Rescue web site.
