About Mary

Hi there! I'm Mary, a 6-year-old Queensland Heeler/Cattle Dog mix who weighs about 37 lbs. After dedicating my life to raising my adorable puppies, I'm now ready to embark on my very own mission: finding a loving furever family! I spent my whole life with my previous owner before coming to Almost There Rescue, so this has been a big adjustment for me. I'm a smart, curious, and affectionate girl who forms deep bonds with my people. I absolutely love playing fetch, discovering new things, tackling treat puzzles, and then snuggling up for a cozy cuddle session at the end of the day. I'm on the lookout for an active home that understands the unique needs of herding breeds and can provide me with plenty of exercise, engaging enrichment activities, and a structured routine. I can be a bit vocal when I'm excited, feeling unsure, or just trying to communicate, so a home with a yard would be ideal. I tend to be wary of strangers, especially men, and I'm quite selective about my canine companions, preferring dogs who are respectful of personal space and communicate kindly. Given my energetic nature and herding instincts, I would do best in a home with children aged 12 and older. If you're a patient, experienced individual or family ready for a loyal companion who's both an adventurous buddy and a devoted cuddle bug, I'd be thrilled to be your co-pilot on life's next great journey!

Training & Support

I can be vocal when I'm excited, unsure, or trying to tell you something.
