"Hi, my name is Scooter. I am a Lab/Blue Heeler mix. I am looking for a new home. I am approx 18-24 months old. My current owner rescued me from a shelter and they were really sure how old I was. She loves me very much and this is a hard decision for her, but she realizes that she cannot give me the attention I deserve. She wants what is best for me. I am all bark and no bite and love to be loved. I love being around people and have been neutered, vaccinated and chipped. I am pretty smart and am a fast learner. I am food motivated. I do need some obedience training, but nothing drastic. I am really good off leash and rarely (if ever) stray from my owner.
Please reach out if find these pics adorable, want to learn more about me, and want to help me find a new home."

"Meet this adorable duo, Scarlett Jo and Angel! Scarlett Jo is about 9 years old, while Angel is about 5 years old. These Blue Heelers are the sweetest girls you will ever meet! Both of these girls are so incredibly loyal and ready for their forever family to come pick them up. They can be a bit skittish at first, but it doesn`t take them long to warm up for love and affection. The two of them find solace in each other and would prefer to go home together. Both do amazing with kids and love to play with them! They can both be a bit picky when it comes to other dogs but for the most part, they both do well! To ensure the perfect fit, we always require a meet and greet with any resident dogs. As for cats, Scarlett Jo and Angel do fine and tend to mind their own business. If Scarlett Jo and Angel sound like the perfect duo for your home, come by CASA to meet them!"

"Rosie is in need of a home with people who have lots of time on their hands to handle her high energy. She is on the go most of the day. She is a master puzzle solver. She will need a fenced yard with room to run. More than anything she wants to herd. She has a sweet disposition but is very busy. She has been exposed to cats however she likes to chase them and would love for them to let her herd them. She loves water, although she has not gone swimming. But the hose is her favorite. I think one day she would be great as a dock dog. She loves going for walks. Still working on the pulling of the leash. Loves playing with her tough toys. Loves to chew bones. She can be mouthy, but has never hurt anybody. She has had some private training as well as public with other dogs. She can sit, lay down, crawl. She is working on wait and stay. We love her dearly and letting her go is very difficult. We just know we are not the right people for her, as we cannot give her the time that she deserves for her high energy. Please consider giving this beautiful dog a home if you have the time and the patience for her personality."

"Sage would do well in a home with active adults and or older kids. She is obedient, fully house trained, loves to fetch, swim and is a great running/hiking/camping companion. She is focused on her person and would make a wonderful partner to someone wanting to skip the puppy phase. Sage bonds strongly and is shy at first with other people but warms up as she gets comfortable. Before her adventure with us she was an only dog, she plays well with our two dogs but ultimately she`d rather be with her person. She is intelligent, treat motivated and would pick up new skills quickly."

In foster in Tumwater, WA
CHIEF is a 32# Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) male maybe 2/3 yrs of age? He is a lively and happy dog. He loves to play with other dogs and the introduction time is almost not needed for him. He is housetrained. He is in foster with a cat. As much as his teeth tell us he is about 2/3yrs old, his happiness and activity level says he`s younger. On a scale of 1-10, I would put him at about a 7. He is happy and asks for love and attention. He is okay on the leash...not yet "good" but we`re working on it. He doesn`t mind the leash but he does want to go and have fun. With one day in our house, he was running outside with our pack of house dogs and coming in when called. He is very smart and willing to please. Most Heelers love water and would be great for water adventures."

"Clover has been at the Pasco, WA shelter since Feb 01, 2025. She spent weeks running loose across several miles in Kennewick. Eventually, a persistent good Samaritan managed to catch her and bring her to safety. After all that time fending for herself, it was clear Clover had been through a lot. She was underweight and suffering from painful skin infections, but with several weeks of care and medication, she finally got the help she needed. Once she was healthy, she was spayed and is ready to find the loving home she has always deserved. Clover is eager to connect with people. Despite everything she`s been through, she`s incredibly loving and sweet. Life in the shelter has been stressful for her. She just wants to be with her people and feel secure. Clover will need a patient adopter who can help her settle into a new environment at her own pace. Clover is a very high energy dog and will need a family—or a doggie companion—that can match her zest for life. If you`re looking for a dog that`s go, go, go, Clover is your girl! She`s now healthy, spayed, and ready to start her next adventure with a forever family. Clover adores everyone she meets and would thrive in an active home that can keep up with her energy and give her the love she`s been waiting for."
