About Slade

Meet Slade, the resident daredevil of the rescue. This young Australian Cattle Dog is full of energy and charm, always up for new tricks and adventures. Being a Heeler, he’s incredibly intelligent and thrives best when engaged in activities that challenge him. Slade requires a secure fence and a family eager to devote time to exercise and provide the structure he craves. He’s not one to lounge around; he’d rather be out exploring with an active owner or family who can keep pace with his playful nature. While Slade tends to be a bit cautious around other dogs, we're taking it slow to ensure he feels comfortable. It's likely he'll do best as the only dog for now, allowing him to adjust at his own pace. If you’re seeking a companion with a lively spirit and a big heart, Slade could be your perfect match. All of our dogs come fully vetted, ready for this next chapter in their lives. Let's make it official; apply to adopt!
