Does anyone know someone who rescues Australlian Cattle dogs? Family I know took their dog to the Humane society and they said he wasn't adoptable because he didn;t play well with children. So they went back just before the dog was goingt o pe put down.
They have 2 small children and need to find this dog a hime before he bites the baby. Anyone know of a rescue organization for thi dog?

If these are not helpful, call the AKC (American Kennel Club and ask them for a rescue organization, in your area.)

I have heard of two rescue groups out there, one is in Arizona, I believe, and the other is in Canada. If I remember correctly, they both rehabilitate ACDs and put them to work on ranches, where most of them belong.
Please have your friend go on the Internet and search ACD rescue groups-their dog is in great danger of being put down. Most shelters don't really like to deal with them because they can be so difficult.
I just joined an ACD chat group, so I will ask them if they know of anyone. If I find a place, I will add to my answer.
Poor ACDs have this problem because they are a breed that is very difficult to own. More people need to do the research before getting one of these dogs, as they are not for the average household. Most of them are not good with kids, as they see kids as something to herd, and ACDs herd with their teeth.
Please tell your friend to be patient, this dog is just in the wrong home, and it would be unfair to let him die for that.

Find a no-kill shelter in your area. Here is two websites that has a list of no-kill shelters in every state:
http://www.saveourstrays.com/no-kill.htm
http://www.animalliberationfront.com/AR_Orgs/No%20Kill%20Animal%20Shelters.htm
Make sure they take him to a shelter with a no-kill policy because the shelter will help place him in a home with no small children.
Also, go to the yahoo website and type in "Australian Cattle Dog Rescue in (your state)".

Until they do, keep it away from the baby. Post ads places! Search animal rescue centers on google.

a mixture between an Australlian farm animals dogs and Blue heeler may well be stated as a Texas Heeler. My grandmother has one, she is extremely hyper and likes to harass the horses and cows. My dad had blue heelers, and that they are very unswerving and protecting.
