Ace is a one-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler in Chino Valley, AZ, searching for a foster or adopter who truly gets energetic breeds. This guy’s got a sharp mind and a work ethic that doesn’t quit—he’s all about activity, whether it’s hiking, running, agility, or just keeping busy. Ace isn’t built for lazy days on the couch. He’ll need a daily routine, plenty of exercise, and someone who understands what it means to keep a working dog challenged physically and mentally. Ace thrives with clear boundaries, strong guidance, and an owner willing to lead. If you’ve lived with herding breeds or strong, high-drive dogs before, you’ll know what he means when he wants a “job.” He’s house trained, neutered, and vaccinated, ready to bond with someone looking for a devoted adventure buddy rather than just a pet. Ace is eager to be your loyal companion if you’re ready to meet his energy level and offer structure. Click apply to start the adoption process.
