About Delilah

Meet Delilah! This lovely 39 lb Queensland Heeler mix is ready to leave her wandering days behind for the warmth of a loving family. At around 2 years old, she carries an energetic spirit and a strong desire for companionship. Delilah is a social butterfly who has shown she gets along well with larger canine pals, such as her Labrador foster friend. However, she hasn't been tested around smaller dogs. True to her Heeler nature, she possesses a keen focus and a herding instinct, which means she may chase and bark at cats. A cat-free home or one with an experienced adopter familiar with working-dog traits would be ideal for her. Delilah is fully vaccinated and microchipped, and she will be spayed before heading to her new home. If you’re interested in making Delilah part of your family, reach out to apply today!
