tell me how/where you got your heeler!!

I’ve seen and heard from a lot of ACD owners that they’re typically rescues or they randomly inherited their pet for free or in some crazy way😭 i’m curious because it seems to be a pretty repetitive theme. someone either gets them as a purebred puppy, or finds them in a shoebox on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. journey, my pup, i rescued from a kill shelter and she was half off. a cop volunteering there paid the adoption fee so she ended up being free!
