Dachs (Badger)

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

My name is Dachs. Let me tell you a little bit about my family. My Mom was picked up by Yuma Animal Control back in November of 2007. They found out that Mom was pregnant and they didn't want us puppies born in the shelter because they had no room for all of us so they contacted New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue.

The Foster Coordinator asked the Volunteers for some help. Our Foster Mom lived in California and said she would take us. So, she met with a Volunteer and took us home with her. My 4 brothers, 1 sister and myself were born on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007. Our foster mom figured that our Mom had had other puppies and was tired of taking care of them so she wasn't the greatest Mom but we had a great foster mom who made sure we were taken care of all the time.

My foster mom knew that my eyes might have some problems from the beginning because I didn't open them as soon as my brothers and sister, but NHCD knew that I deserved a fighting chance and that is what they have given me. I stayed in California for about 3 months before coming to be fostered in Arizona. I have a wonderful foster home now with lots of dogs to play with and wonderful foster parents who love me and take care of me. My foster mom noticed some gunk coming out of my eye and notified New Hope and they decided I better see a specialist. My Mom was malnourished before she was in the care of NHCD and so the Vet seems to think due to the lack of her nourishment I was born with a detached retina in my left eye and damage to my right eye. I am totally blind in my left and and eventually will go blind in my right eye. I am in desperate need of surgery to remove my left eye so I won't be in pain any longer and I will be on medication and drops for my other eye until I go blind in that eye as well. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or 5 years from now. But I am able to see out of it so they would like to see me keep that eye as long as possible but I will have to be on meds for it to manage the drainage and the pain.

New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue needs your help with funding for me. The surgery is going to cost between $1300 to $1600. They are a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, so all funds come from wonderful people like you reading my story and are tax deductible. I thank them so much with lots of love to everyone I meet for just giving me a chance at having the best life possible. Won't you thank them too by helping with my huge vet bill? Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and helping NHCD help me! With lots of love, Dachs

Roxy/Freckles

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi, my name is Roxy and I'm looking for my forever home. My foster mom also refers to me lovingly as "Freckles" because I have adorable peanut butter colored spots all over my body. I have been in foster care since January 2008 when I was found in a CVS parking lot in East Mesa. I am well cared for in my foster home, but must stay outdoors because of the other animals (4 cats and a dog) in the house. My foster mom describes me as a dual-purpose dog because I am a great protector and a sweet/loving companion.

I really want to be your new best friend. I just love people and get very excited when given attention. I have the energy/enthusiasm of a puppy and enjoy going for walks/runs, car rides, playing fetch, peanut butter treats, and having my belly rubbed. I have been going to obedience class with my foster mom and I am doing great learning commands. However, I'm still having difficulty relating to other animals and need to be the only furry child in my new home. However, older human children are okay with me.

Intake date 2/08 from finder in Phoenix.

Brando

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi my name is Brando. Well, you probably heard from my brothers that we LOVE the water, but I bet they didn't tell you that I blow bubbles in it. I am serious. Naturally I never do it while my foster mom has the camera, but any other time, heck yeah, I love those silly bubbles. I blow and blow. Just like my name, I am a character and a ham in front of the camera. Yeah I'm a little showy, but, look at me, can you blame me. Yeah, a ham. I am a lot of fun too. I enjoy walking, running, biting, blowing bubbles, getting into things I shouldn't, normal stuff. Born 6/28/08.  AND YES, I actually do have cattle dog in me.  Here is a picture of my mom, Brandi:

Greta Garbo

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi, my name's Greta. The people at the pound thought I was so old that no one would want me, but a wonderful lady from NHCD convinced them otherwise. Since then, a nice vet at the Humane Society has taken care of all my sore teeth and given me a clean bill of health.

I'm an easy going girl and have one of the sweetest dispositions you could ever ask for. I get along with all my foster brothers and sisters, and considering what an odd bunch they are, that's saying a lot. (See, some of them are deaf, some blind, and some can be just plain obnoxious.) I also get along really well with the cats I live with, and treat them with respect. All the experts estimate that I'm around 9 years old, so I'm past all the crazy puppy antics, and am a fairly mellow, loving, adult dog. If that's what you're looking for, please just let the folks at NHCD know, and they'll set things up so we can meet. Thanks, Greta

Bandit

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

My name is Bandit and I am about 2 years old. I am 35 lbs of pure love and loyalty and would love to be your little buddy. I have lots of energy so I need to go to an active home that is committed to exercising me every day. My favorite thing is going for walks or runs and I’m awesome on the leash. I will walk right by your side with no pulling. I also love to wrestle and play with my foster sister. I like to run around the yard, chase tennis balls and chew on toys. I am housebroken, dog-door trained, and crate trained and I don’t have any destruction issues. I know basic obedience commands like sit, stay, come, down and leave it. I had knee surgery in February to deepen the groove in my knee (so that my knee cap will stay in place) and now I'm all healed up (Thanks Dr. Pullen!) and ready to go on long walks with you! I need a family that will give me lots of love, attention, and exercise as well as firm discipline and clear boundaries. That’s what my foster family gives me and they say I’m an awesome dog. If you're looking for a sidekick, I'm your guy! Ask to meet me!

Intake date 07/08 from owner surrender.

Good with Kids, good with other non-dominant female dogs and cats unknown! He needs a strong leader of the pack.  Great dog but needs consistency and training.  Will do anything for you with those ingredients.

UPDATE:
1/9/09: Here is the info from his vet visit:
 
Bandit had X-rays on both his knees and hips.  Dr. P said he needs surgery on his right rear knee. Dr. P said it is actually Grade 3 (4 is the worst).  He said that it is not the result of an injury but is a birth defect  that is very common in smaller dog breeds.  His estimate with the rescue discount is
$2162.  He explained that this is a 3-part repair:  1. a tibial bone must be resected and relocated ; 2. the knee groove must be deepened so the knee fits better ; 3.  the ligaments must be shortened and stabilized
 
Most vets (who are not ortho specialists) do #2 and then pin the ligament (kind of a quick fix).  Dr. P. said in order for the knee to be completely corrected you need all 3 components.  He’s done this particular surgery over 9,000 times.  Bandit will have to be confined for a minimum of 6 weeks
after the surgery.  He’ll also need weekly injections for 6 weeks which are an additional $50 per trip.

UPDATE:  2/6/09 - Bandit has had his surgery! Dr. Pullen said Bandit's ligaments were pretty loose and the groove in his knee was not quite deep enough (sounds like this is what the x-rays had originally shown)  and that he did all 3 steps in the procedure, as expected. He said this fix should serve him well and he will have no longterm side effects.  After he heals, you will never know he had any issues.

 Thank you Dr. Pullen and the entire staff at Animal Medical & Surgical Center for taking such great care of Bandit!!


Frost

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

My name is Frost. I think because the silver in my fur makes it look frosted. I am a spayed female about 2 years old. Weighing in at just under 40 lbs, I am a compact ball of energy who also has her calm moments. I came to stay with my foster family because my owner had to go to jail and didn't know when she would return. My owner really loved me and took good care of me some would even say she spoiled me since I love to sit on laps (good thing I am on the small side!), sit on the furniture, and give kisses. Most importantly my owner taught me to love being with people! I would be with them 24/7 if I could.

I know some basic commands, am house trained, crate trained, and know how to use a doggie dog. I am well behaved on the leash and stick close when off-leash. I hardly ever bark mostly just when my foster mom first comes home from work and when the garbage truck goes by in the alley. If I am barking, I will be quiet if told to. I sometimes like to play fetch, but mostly I just want to play tag with my human. I can be mouthy of hands during play and tend to jump, but I try to be gentle. My favorite toys are stuffed ones because I can pull all of the stuffing out of them. What fun!

I am a little shy with strangers at first and tend to duck my head and try to hide behind my foster mom but I warm up quickly. I have never been around children and would probably do best with older children since I can be a little jumpy and mouthy when I am excited and wouldn't want to scare any little humans accidentally.

I was originally fostered with a puppy and I got along with her okay, but since then I haven't met a dog I like. I get really scared, go on the defensive, and act mean, although I will back off if told to. I really need to be your one and only dog and would be happiest if I never have to meet another dog. They are so scary!

My foster family has several cats including some foster kittens. I always want to play with all of them and have never shown any aggression towards them. Sometimes I can get too rowdy and domineering with them so I would probably do best with cats that can set boundaries (in other words, put me in my place!) when I get too excited.

Do I sound like a good match for you? If so, let's meet soon. I'll give you a few of the kisses I have been saving for just such a special occasion!

Intake date 10/08 from owner surrender.

Good with older Kids, not good with other dogs and cats unknown!

Bessie

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hello Everyone, my name is Bessie Sue. I’m a 3 year old blue cattle dog. I was surrendered by my owner because he didn’t have a fenced yard and I liked to wander off so he had to keep me tied up. He knew that was no life for me. So he decided to contact New Hope Cattle Dogs so I could find my forever home. So here I am in all my glory. I’m currently vacationing at my foster parents home who have 3 other cattle dogs, horses and a 14 year old daughter.

I’m what you would call an alpha female. My perfect forever home would be as an only dog or with a male dog and older children. I would love to control the household so you will have to be the leader of the pack then I have no problem following orders. I love to play ball and just sniff around the back yard and of course I have new friends at the neighbor’s house too. They have 4 dogs, chickens and horses too. I don’t even notice the horses or chickens but it looks like it would be great fun to go out on a trail ride sometime. Did I mention I love to go on walks and that I’m housebroken and crate trained. I can also sit and lay down on command and of course because I’m such a lady I don’t beg at the dinner table.

I know once you have met me you won’t be sorry. So long for now. Missy B

BJ

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi! I'm BJ. I've been with my foster family since January 2009 and like it here with them, but I am anxious to meet my new family. I don't remember where I came from and the people that rescued me don't know either. I was just brought to the shelter. I quiver and shy away when someone raises a hand around me even when I'm not in trouble, so maybe someone wasn't always nice to me. I am always very eager to go for a walk and sometimes I like to bolt out the front door but I realize that my foster home is a good place and I am trying to learn not to do that. I used to stay in a kennel while Foster Mom and Dad were at work, but recently they started leaving me in the house with restricted access to the kitchen and living room. I like being out and haven't gotten into trouble with messing anything up. I do really well in the crate and I also know how to use a doggy door.

I am a great family dog and companion friend, but I love attention, so I would do best in a home with a non-dominant dog. It's not really my fault because I didn't get much attention in my home before and I learned to like it a lot. I promise to work hard on being a "share bear." My foster brother and I play all the time, we like to chase and run in the yard .I really like being outside and LOVE rolling in the dirt, especially after I get a bath. I would rather you pet me than throw the ball. I am really attentive and notice all of the birds and rabbits anywhere I am. I walk well on a leash and I am good in the car. I am getting better at behaving and listening to my foster parents everyday and they say I would benefit from more training. Please take me home and teach me how a dog is suppose to be loved. I am waiting for you!

Foxy

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hello, my name is Foxy. I was found living in the desert waaaay out at the edge of town. Two nice families were feeding me and after 2 weeks I finally got brave enough to come up to them. My foster mom, Caroline took me into her home and showed me what it was like to be part of a family. Life is really cool in a house! I live with 2 human toddlers and we all get along great. I am potty trained, house trained and I walk nice on a leash. I love to be around my people and good back scratches are my favorite. I recently went to my first adoption event and enjoyed meeting new people and dogs. I really like car rides too. The rescue was going to call me Shirley Temple because of my curly locks, but I talked them out of it. I'm a very sweet girl who's just looking for a place to call home. Contact New Hope to meet me today!

 Jessie

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi, My name is Jessie. Pima Animal Control found me and my 7 puppies in the desert. New Hope Cattle Dogs was able to come up with a foster home for all of us so they took us in. My puppies were only about 2 weeks old at the time. They have all been adopted and now I need my forever home too. I am very sweet! I'm a calm dog and my favorite thing to do is cuddle up. I'm house broken and a fast learner. I am not into toys very much which makes my foster family wonder if I have ever seen any toys in the past. I am not a barker. I need a loving family because I can be a little timid around new things and loud noises but the more exposure I get to new things can help me a lot. I am not destructive and don't need to be crated when my family are not home. I am 2-3 years old and just looking for someone to be close to and cuddle up with. Please put your application in to meet me soon!

Kimba

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hiya!  My name is Kimba, but my foster mom affectionately calls me Twitch.  Doesn't matter to me what you call me because I am DEAF and cannot hear you anyway.  I am a young girl at around 8-10 months old.  Before I came to my foster mom, I was found as a stray in Verde Lakes which is a place within Camp Verde.  I am super friendly and gentle.  I love to play especially with Cian, my deaf foster brother.  We chase each other all over.  I had never been in a house before I came here so I am learning house manners and hand signals.  I am a very quick learner.  My foster mom says I am an absolute love bug.  I am a little skittish if you stand up quickly, but if you are sitting down, I am oh so friendly.  And by the way, I am not as big as my photo shows.  I am only 25lbs or so.  My foster mom will get better photos of me soon.  I just want someone to love me and give me a good home.  Won't you ask to meet me?

Jude

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hello! My name is Jude! I am a BEAUTIFUL all red cattle dog. My foster parents pulled me from the pound about a month ago. I’ve been pretty mellow since I’ve been with them, but every day I get a little more spunk. I LOVE to follow my foster mom around the house and sit at her feet when she stops. I get along really well with my foster sister who is a pretty bossy female. When I first got home, I liked to mark my territory in the house, but I’m learning that’s not acceptable. I don’t live with a cat, but I spent some time around one recently, and I did excellent with her. My foster mom also has two adorable nieces, ages 4 and 2 and I’m a really good boy around them too! I don’t nip at them at all when they visit! I am also learning all kinds of new tricks while I’m here! While my mom is at work I stay in my kennel. Sometimes I need a tiny prod to get into my kennel, but once I’m there I’m good! I know how to sit really well! And I’m learning other basic commands too. Don’t worry, I’m a fast learner. I also do really well on a leash! And I enjoy meeting other dogs. As you can see I’m a super great dog!

Brodey

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi I'm Brodey. I'm a shy guy that likes to be sure of a situation before I let my true colors show. Once I warm up to you, I'm really just a big goofball! I love to go on walks and my foster mom tells me I'm really good on a leash. Around the house I like to snuggle and hang out, but since I'm still a puppy, I'm still learning what I can eat (like bones and chew toys) and what I can't eat (like shoes even though they taste so good!). I am crate trained, house trained and my manners are pretty good, but sometimes I just get so excited I just want to give lots of hugs and kisses! My foster mom is taking me to obedience school so I'm learning lots of tricks and I will do anything for a treat. I'm looking for a home to call my own and I know I'd fit right in with any household. Contact New Hope to meet me today!

PS: I know I don't LOOK like a cattle dog, but that's because I got my dad's good looks.    I was born with the nice New Hope people to look after me on 6/28/08. Here is a picture of my mom, Brandi:

Dundee

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Dundee is a male, neutered, cattle dog mix who is 2 years old and 71 pounds. He is up to date on shots, and has had a good veterinary checkup and bath. He is loyal, willful yet obedient, patient, and eager to please. He is very sociable and gentle with adults (has not been exposed to children since coming to us), and is crate trained, housebroken, and microchipped. He is doing very well with “loose leash” walking and basic obedience commands. He plays well at the dog park. So why are we looking for a new home for this lovable bear of a dog? Read below.

We adopt Dundee from another rescue group. There, the owner of the group said he and Blue were "very much alike" and she felt they would do well together. As I intended to have 2 dogs, we took both. They had had no issues among a pack of 12 at the farm, but never lived together one on one. We knew that both had been rescued from Yavapai County and had herded livestock. They have been with us since 2/16/2009.

Over the past month, Dundee and Blue have proven to be incompatible, even after the assessment and intervention of two professional dog trainers/behaviorists. Dundee’s territoriality has led to increasing episodes of aggression against Blue, always when I am present. Blue has actually thrived and become less timid, and while Dundee is my loyal shadow, Blue is more attentive to the whole family.

It is only the incompatibility with Blue in our living situation which has caused us to look for another home. When I called the rescue group he came from, which states they take pets back "no questions asked", I was told they would "probably have him put to sleep" without even getting full background information! Dundee deserves a better living situation, not death.

We have gotten additional background info, including that he was “food protective” (vs. other dogs). He has a plate in one leg. I am not positive, but I suspect a car hit him. He was very skittish about cars on walks, but this has improved significantly. Please help us find the right new “forever home” for him. We believe he would do best in a home with no other pets which can give him to diligent leadership and activity he thrives on.

Cheyanne

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi there, my name is Cheyanne. I am about 5 years old and was dumped by my family at a local shelter. The staff there figured out that I needed eye surgery to remove my bad eye and repair the other eye. I had my surgery two weeks ago and am recovering nicely.

I am starting to get around very well by using my whiskers and ears as I can only see dark and light and only far away things. I am as sweet as can be and just want to lay by my person and be loved. I am very much overweight and my foster mom is working on that.

I seem to get along with other dogs OK and would probably be fine with cats as I can't see them very well. I came from a home with children so I am OK with that also.

I will need eye drops the rest of my life but they are not to expensive. If you would like to meet me please fill out our adoption application and we can do a home check and make sure you are a good match for me. Kisses and wags Cheyanne.

Cooper

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Yo yo, my name is Cooper. I'm all about having a good time and entertaining a crowd. Some may call me a fool, but I just wanna have fun. Well, now that I think about it, having too much unsupervised fun got me into trouble at my first home. Hey, I'm still a pup. I need someone to set rules and limitations for me. I really want a home with another dog to party, I mean hang out with. I have a super-fly girlfriend name Madison. We are being fostered together. I'm really hoping we can be placed together, but if not, my memories of her will stay with me foreva. I am potty and crate trained. I enjoy car rides, playing ball and playing with other fur kids. I'm being fostered in a home home with lots of other dogs, cats and horses. I just started obedience class. I'm catching on pretty fast. My foster mom says I listen real well and correct easily. If you are looking for a fun furkid with lots of personality, that's me . Hope to meet you soon.

Bridget

Hi, I'm Bridget! My foster home thinks I'm seven months old. I love love love to run run run! Chewing and playing are two of my favorite things to do! I'm just a pup, so I'm still learning my manners, but my foster parents tell me I'm a good girl because I learn quickly. I love to give kisses to other dogs and sometimes that makes them mad at me, but I am just trying to play! I haven't really ever been on a leash, so it's weird right now, but I am learning, especially if there is another dog there to show me how. I met some little people the other day (2 years old and 10 months old) and I acted REALLY good with them. All I need are my own people who want to love me and keep up with my active personality. Please contact New Hope to meet me today!

***ADOPTION PENDING!!***

Hi, I'm Tycho (Tee-Koh). My foster mom pulled me from the county shelter and boy I like it better with her. I was very sick when she took me in but she's working to make me all better. I still have one more ailment to overcome but after that I'll be good as gold!

I love to be with my people. I walk really good on a leash, which means you can take me anywhere! My foster mom hasn't heard me bark yet and she's very grateful for that. I love to get belly rubs and I get really excited when you come home and I dance in circles to let you know. I am a pretty mellow boy for my age and I am very well behaved and have excellent manners. I am crate trained and we're learning about this thing called 'house breaking'. As long as I am in my crate when you can't watch me, you'll never have a problem with me! I don't really like my foster brother, but I don't really hate him either. He's the only dog I've met so far. My foster mom has some chickens and I'm nice to them, so I may be good with cats. I am a little bit mouthy when I play, so I would be best for kids a little older, but I'm so sweet and mellow I could be perfect for any family. Please contact New Hope to meet me today!

A dog intro will be required to adopt Tycho.

Rianne

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hi, I’m Rianne and I’m looking for my best friend and forever home. Things were rough for me before New Hope came along. A nice man found me as a stray and wanted to let me stay with him but I needed medical care that he wasn’t able to get for me so he surrendered me to the shelter and called New Hope for help. New Hope pulled me out of the shelter in the nick of time! The doctor said most likely I would have died if I had spent another night there because the infection I got after having my puppies was never treated. They also discovered I was anemic, so I had to have a blood transfusion before my surgery to remove 3 of my mammary glands.

Well, it’s been 2 weeks since my surgery and I’m sure feeling a lot better!! My foster mom has been feeding me some GOOD food and I’m up to 44 pounds now! I have tons of energy and like to chase my foster sister when she runs to catch her toys and I’m learning how to play tug-of-war. My foster mom thinks I’ve never had toys before and that this is all new to me. I’m learning pretty fast though!

I know how to sit and I’m very good about going in my crate when I need to. I never mess in the house and I’m a perfect lady when my foster mom takes me to work with her. I like to give kisses to everyone I meet but sometimes I get excited and bite your nose instead. My foster mom keeps reminding me that that isn’t polite so I’m working on it.

My health problems are almost all gone now and the doctor thinks I will be healthy from here on out so please ask to meet me!

Dancing Bob

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hello there! My name is Dancing Bob. My foster mom and family just call me Bob! I was turned over by another rescue group who said they found me darting in and out of traffic. My name tag said Bob, but the telephone number on my tag had been disconnected. I am an adolescent and weigh about 35 lbs. I love to play catch, run and go for walks. I can jump so high that I twist in mid-air, therefore earning my name, Dancing Bob! I love to be near you so you scratch and play with me. I can also settle down and relax at your feet and at nighttime. I get along extremely well with other dogs. Not sure about cats, but I think they would be good playmates! I love to go on walks and do well on a leash. Best of all, I won't chew your shoes! I don't like to destroy things.

I am housebroken, but don't forget to let me out! And, happy in a crate when you're around. That could change as I grow to love you, and trust that you'll come back for me! I tend to jump, but my foster mom is working with me and I'm getting better about it everyday. I am so full of love and just want someone to take me to my forever home so I can grow old with you! Whoo hoo!!!! Sounds like a plan! Ask to meet me! Check out my video by clicking here.

Zeva

Ask about $50 OFF my Adoption fee

Hello Everyone, my name is Zeva. I am currently in foster care with New Hope because I wasn't doing well at the Humane Society in Tucson. It was a stressful place and that made me nervous. But I love my new foster home. It is possibly the best place I've ever been. I get to play with the other dogs and sometimes even the cats. We go for walks sometimes but my favorite part is when we go to the dog park. At the park I get to run (and I love to run) and I get to play with all kinds of other dogs.

I am what my foster mom calls a "velcro dog." I think that means that I am super snugly and I love to be right next to you all the time. I just call it LOVE! I love to love and to be loved. I am a little scared to be left alone so my foster mom puts me into a kennel and that keeps me safe and secure. I am working on being braver, it's just that I don't ever want you to go away. My favorite time of the day is right before bedtime. I get to have a bedtime belly rub and that makes me happy.

I am working on my manners and my foster mom says that I am doing great!!! I already know sit and down.

I would really like to meet an active family that likes to go to the dog park and on walks and runs. I just know we would have the best time together. Please ask to meet with me and I know we will fall in love.

Connor

Hi there, my name is Conner. I was rescued from PACC, and am currently living with a foster family that has 2 kids (ages 8 and 11) and 3  sometimes 4 cattle dogs. I really enjoy playing and practicing some herding techniques on the youngest dog. You might like to know that I can use the doggy door. At first, I thought it was something after me and would kind of attack it, but now I get it!! I am still a puppy and don’t always put together that the doggy door is where I should go to when I have to do my business. But, I am getting better every day!! I like to sit by you just in case there’s a reward coming; I know nothing in life is free, especially for cattle dogs. Other things that I am practicing are to shake, leave it, release, and go down. “Shake” is easiest for me (after “sit”) since when I sit for some things I get a little excited and my front feet kind of dance and my feet go up. I do have a little bad habit of relocating shoes; my stash behind the couch got found. I haven’t damaged any yet; I usually listen to the “leave it” command. Anyway, I would love my own forever home, and will be waiting patiently for my family to find me. I will be a wonderful addition to any family. I’m one smart cookie!!
