This is Madi, our new Blue Healer. We rescued her from an animal shelter 2 weeks ago. She was VERY timid, but is coming out of her shell nicely. She loves to chase her tennisball.

She is going to be a great member of the family

smart and sexy

Nice dog, congrats! It''s very nice that you got the dog from a shelter as I try to support my local shelter when I can.

My wife and I have three cats; 1st was a stray, 2nd was a kitten from a friend, 3rd was from local shelter.

cute pup and good on ya for using a shelter.....last 3 were rescue and turned out great!

beautiful maddi!

Nice all around for everybody!

I miss all my cats and dogs that have gone on.

Great looking pup... Beautiful color..... You should feel really good about yourself.......rescuing an animal is a wonderful thing..... Its almost as if they know you were their last chance.

She''s a sweetheart.... It''d been about 14 months since we lost our last dog, and the mrs was finally ready to get another.

One cool thing, is the way my new studio is situated, I can take her to work with me sometimes. She''s sleepin on the floor by my feet as I type.

i live next to some folks with red heelers, very nice dogs.

Awwww.

Thank you for saving this little one. Hope you have many fantastic adventures together.

Good lookin dog, Kipp!

They''re smart too!

nice lookin pup there Kipp

Hope all is good your way.

Rescue dog? they are very special dogs to T.

Very nice looking dog there Kip.

Fine puppy-dog....

You are a good man, and will have a friend for a long time!!

Kipp, is it me or does the pup have a sensitive/intelligent look? Like she can read faces.
That''s the first thing that came to mind when I saw the photo.

Bloody the Dog Whisperer. lol

Nice looking pup.

Ok, I''ll put the bottle down.

One of the guys used to work for me brought his heeler to work every day, a truly remarkable dog, smarter than most 8 year old humans.
They like a lot of attention, and they are Houdini''s...

Cattle dogs (Queensland Blue Heelers) are the best dogs. My cattle dog Annie was with me for 20 years - and I still miss her, and she''s been gone for 5 now. At first it''s a little disconcerting when the dog is smarter than 98% of the people you know, but after a while you get used to it. Great choice, both you and she are lucky to have each other! -Beth
