Cheyanne

Hi there, I am one love muffin looking for the right companion. My left eye has been removed and I am a happy girl now. I have learned to get around my foster mom's place with ease. You see I am a cattle dog and I am very smart. I remember how to get around and it doesn't take me long to figure out my way. I also no longer have to have eye drops - yeah!!! I am in good health and I am love to be talked to and petted. My foster mom says blind dogs are easy to take care of since we really respond well to voice. I am learning new commands like stop, step up and easy for when I try to go too fast.

I am completely housetrained, dog door trained. I am learning that walks are a lot of fun and I yip like a sled dog when I go on one. Sometimes I am scared when I am going to a new place but with patience I can learn a new route. However, I am extremely content to sit on the couch with you and eat bonbons, too! I also love to play "Ghost." I get under a blanket or towel and walk around the house with it covering me, then you come up and rub my sides and head, yelling there is a ghost in the house! Great giggles for all! I am not so good with kitties, I just try to smell them out and then stare at them all day and I sometimes poke them with my nose to see if they will move. I am very good with male dogs but I can get a little snarky with female dogs but I am easily corrected. I have done very well in my obedience classes and I will do anything for a treat!

Intake date 03/09 from Southern Arizona Humane Society.

Good with Kids, good with other dogs and possibly good with cats!

Tibby

Hi, my name is Tibby. I’m an 15 month old ACD. I’m unilaterally deaf which mean I have hearing in my left ear only. My foster mom says if I didn’t tell you that you would never know. I was an owner surrender due to some aggression issues with my former owner. I tend to like the ladies of the house the most and then want to protect them from you. I have been through extensive training with my foster mom and have come along way in a short period of time. I get along great with other dogs and older children. I know how to heel on the leash, sit, lay, stay and place. I will even walk off leash with you once I’m comfortable with you. I do like to play ball and love to play with my foster sisters. I’m crate trained and housebroken. Since I do have dominance issues I will need to be placed with an alpha mom and loving dad who has the patience to be kind to me and win my heart over.

Intake date 07/09 from Maricopa County Animal Care & Control.

Good with older Kids, good with other dogs and probably NOT good with cats! Also, doesn't like most men.

Eva

The volunteers at New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue pulled me off the euthanasia list at Maricopa County. They were going to euthanize me because I am sight impaired. NHCD Rescue didn't agree that was a reason to be put to sleep. They took me to an eye specialist and they verified that I can see movement and shadows and I only have about 10 percent of my sight. Once I know my surroundings, you wouldn't even know I was sight impaired. Cattle dogs are very resilient and adapt well to new environments and I am no exception. I am a total love bug and will follow you everywhere you go. I get along with other dogs and will greet every human with a gentle nudge to get you to pet me. I am approximately a 3 year old, 30 pound tub of love. I currently need eye drops 3 times a day, so I am looking for a home where someone works from the home, stay at home mom/dad or retired. I am really low maintenance and low key. Please don't hesitate because of my special need. I have lived with it for over a year and I am adjusted. Won’t you please open your heart and give me a chance! Please ask to meet me. I will melt your heart away.

Sid

Hi my name is Sid and I am searching for my forever home.

I am being fostered by a large family with 4 kids (one that is 2 years old). I love my foster moms kids! They are the best thing in the world next to the pool that is. I am an awesome swimmer if I don't say so myself. I will fetch anything out of the pool. Don't worry, if you don't have a pool that's okay, maybe we can plan a camping trip and swim in the lake? I am sure I would love camping too.

My foster mom says I have a lot of puppy energy, see I am only 1. She takes me running to drain my energy. There isn't anything I cant you, you name it I will do it! Everyone is always telling me how smart I am and how quick I learn. Its just fun to do things with my people.

I am potty trained and crate trained. I have never ever gone potty in my foster moms house. I am great with other dogs and do good with some cats. My best bud is a large Doberman named Spencer. We do everything together. Our most favorite thing to do is to wrestle because if makes Amber, my foster moms other dog mad :o) See she is about 13 and is kinda grouchy. We also live with a Shih Tzu, but for some reason she doesn't care much for me and that's okay. I don't mind, I have Spencer to run around with and kids to snuggle with.

I am really hoping that you can look past the fact that I don't look much like a cattle dog. I have soo much love to give, I just need you to meet me. I promise you, I will be loyal to you forever! Just give me a chance.

Intake date 1/10 from owner surrender.

Annie

Hi my name is Annie. I am about 4 years old and even though I am just a young thing I can't hear. I have been deaf since birth, but don't let that stop you from giving me a loving home. With basic hand signals I sit, stay and will come to you. I may not hear you but it doesn't keep my family from talking to me. I read their faces and can tell when I am in for a treat or in big trouble. I have been trained to take a treat gently and will sit, stay and lay down for a cookie. I lived with a family that had two boys and am good with older kids. The younger ones want to stick their fingers in my face, man that can be annoying! I am always up for a good belly scratch and I make some very funny noises when you do because I can't hear myself. I feel safe in my kennel at night and make good use of the doggie door. If you adopt me please make sure that I have a fenced yard and that when you take me out in public I am on a leash, I can't hear you calling me home. I love to sit by your feet and will follow you from room to room to be near you. I like to lay on something soft and will make good use of any blankets, dog beds, or rugs that happen to be on the floor. Please don't pass me up, I am a great girl with a loyal heart.

Intake date 4/10 from Owner Surrender.

Kora (aka Frost)

Hello, my name is Kora. If I look familiar it’s because I was on NHCD Rescue website last year under the name Frost. I was adopted last September and my human changed my name to Kora. My adopter surrendered me back to the rescue. I was very bonded to her, so I’m alittle stressed out right now. I love to be around people. When you find me on this website and ask to meet me you will see how bonded I can be with my human. You will be my world. You will find no greater love. If you own or have owned an ACD, you know what I mean.

I first came to NHCD Rescue October of 2008 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, 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 was fostered in two homes. Both homes were wonderful to me. They helped me with my socialization skills when meeting new dogs. I will need someone that understands me and can continue helping me when meeting new dogs. With proper introduction I will do fine. My foster families and my adopter had cats and they were my buds. I kneed my blankie like my cat friends. I always wanted to play with 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. Dawn would take me roller blading with her dogs. That was a lot of fun. Check out my rollerblading video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cgehANSYLk

I am 3 ½ yrs old and weigh around 25-30 pounds. I’m on the small side for a cattle dog. I know some basic commands. I am potty trained, crate trained and know how to use a doggie door. 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 will be a wonderful companion. I will make someone a great running, hiking, rollerblading…insert anything active here… partner. Please ask to meet me.

Wade

Hi there, my name is Wade and I am an absolute bouncy bundle of joy. I love every human big or small and am good with other dogs but there can be no cats, rabbits or other small critters in my home because I love to chase them all.

When New Hope took me into rescue I had no manners or training of any kind. I jumped on everyone but now I have learned to sit, wait and not jump on anyone. I also do very well in a crate which is where I will need to stay if you go away and leave me inside because I am a big puppy and will most likely chew on things you don't want me to.

Although I love children I probably should not be in a home with children 10 and under because I am so bouncy and high energy boy that I might accidentally knock a small child down. I love my water bucket so it would be nice to have a pool or a wading pond that I could play in.

If you would like to meet me please go to our website and fill out the adoption application. I can't wait for my forever home. Love and many wags Wade.

Hanna

Hello, my name is Hanna. I'm an intelligent, energetic, and enthusiastic 9 month old blue heeler. I am learning commands like sit, stay, down, ignore, crate, let's eat, and fetch but would rather play after only a few minutes of training. I fetch real good, but if you want me to bring the item back to you, just bribe me with a treat and I'm on it! Otherwise, I make a game of you chasing me down to get it. I would love to have another dog around to play with. My current very best bud is Harry, a standard Poodle. We wrestle and play hard for 30-40 minutes at a time and love every minute of it!

I would like a home with few surprises. I get a little nervous when I meet new people/new dogs or when I'm exposed to strange noises. Raising your voice also intimidates me. However, I quickly warm up to people and animals once I confirm that they're nice and I give lots of kisses unselfishly. I am being exposed to lots of new people, surroundings, and sounds by my fosters to help build my confidence. Having a confident fur-sibling to learn from would be be a great help. Because I am a little timid and shy, I would probably do best in a home with children older than 8. I need a strong leader. My new family needs to set consistent rules and boundaries for me as I sometimes tend to test just exactly what the boundaries are...I am crate trained and newly potty trained (haven't had an accident in weeks). I love having a doggie door, so I can go in and out throughout the day at my leisure.
