About Us :: Education & Training :: Dogs For Adoption :: Adopting A Cattle Dog :: Donations & Sponsors
Welcome to the Australian Cattle Dog Rescue of Illinois!
We have some really NEAT cattle dogs available for adoption!
Some dogs have herding ability while others just love to play ball and/or frisbee.
Some have the drive needed for agility and rally.
Come take a look! You'll surely take one home!
Cattle Dogs are like potato chips, you just can't have one!
Why You Should Adopt An Adult Cattle Dog
- What you see is what you get
- Most are already house trained
- They will love you back 10 times more for saving their lives
- Some are already trained and understand what you are thinking
- They are not teething but do enjoy a good bone or toy
- Body size and personality are already there
- Instant companions ready to go hiking, fishing, horse back riding, herding cattle, mileage and etc.
- It is a myth that you must get a puppy and raise it or it will not bond with your family. These dogs will be forever grateful
- Older dogs have been socialized and understand what a "pack" is
- They seem to "get" the routine more quickly
- Older dogs are more settled therefore they do not require the time it takes for a puppy
- You can teach an old dog new tricks. They are more focused.
A dog is what you make it. Spend time with them, love them, teach them, and be a pack leader. Love, patience, and a stable environment bring out the best in cattle dogs.
You can visit these beautiful dogs in a farm/home environment. Visitors are always welcome to come meet the dogs. Just call
us and we'll set up an appointment.
See our dogs play, having fun and in contact with many different species of animals. We are open 7 days a week by appointment only.
If you call about one of these great dogs, leave a clear message with your name, phone number, date and time you called. If for some reason we have not called you back within 24 hours, please call again. We did not receive your message.
