My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m BJ!

I’m a 10-year-old Australian Red Heeler/Cattle Dog, rocking a handsome brown and white coat and weighing about 57 pounds. Don’t let my age fool you—I’ve got plenty of energy and a zest for life. I’m looking for my forever family, someone who’ll share their heart and home with me.

I’m house-trained and know how to be a respectful roommate. I’m also great with cats, other dogs, and kids. I’m a pretty friendly guy, but I can be a little aloof at times. Don’t take it personally—I just like to keep things cool. When I bond with someone, though, I’m all in.

Walks are one of my favorite activities, and I get really excited about them. Sometimes I pull on the leash because I can’t wait to explore, but I promise I’m working on it. Hiking is another passion of mine; I can happily tackle 5 to 10 miles in a day. A home with a fenced yard would be perfect for me since I love to stretch my legs and run around.

My life has changed a lot recently. My dad had to move into an assisted living facility, so I’m looking for a new person to love. Along the way, I also found out I have Lyme disease. It’s not as scary as it sounds—most dogs like me never show symptoms, and I’m on medication to keep it under control. I feel great and have no plans to slow down anytime soon! There is an article about Lyme disease on
veterinarypartner.vin.com if you're curious.

If you’re looking for a loyal, adventurous, and loving companion, I could be the one for you. I’ve got a big heart and lots of love to share. Let’s make some amazing memories together.

Love,
BJ

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
