About Us

I thought she looked like the dog in Mad Max, but we had no idea what an Australian Cattle Dog or a Heeler was. She was feisty, cute and had a black mask and a stumpy little tail. Reviewing our short list of possible names, we got to Zora and both of us said, “Yep, that’s it, we're done.” She’s got a mask like Zorro but since she’s a lady doggo, it became Zora.

Her gotcha anniversary is next week and we refuse to believe she’s going to be eight years old. Feels like only yesterday that we sprung her from prison, um, I mean… the pound. On the way home from doggy jail, we told her that she had just won the family lottery. Through her surgery haze hangover, she winked at us and whispered, “So did you.”

ACD Addicts is just us, our family: Zora, Maria and Harper. We create apparel and accessories for people who love Australian Cattle Dogs, inspired by experiences with our crazy, lovable little girl and the absolute dumb luck of stumbling across the best dogs in the world.
