Brando

ADOPTION PENDING!!

Hi, there. I’m Brando. I’m a little over a year old and about 40 lbs. My mama was a red heeler, so I’m a cattle dog, probably mixed with a Labrador – a great combination, if you ask me! I’m a very sweet boy who loves the dog park and going for walks, runs, or hikes. I love treats and toys, too, and bones filled with peanut butter are sooo good. I am house trained and crate trained. I know basic commands like, sit, stay, and leave it. I'm calm in the house, but when it's playtime, I ready! I just spent a week with a little kitten and did really well with him – we even took a nap together! I’m a little shy at first, but if you’re patient and loving, I’ll warm up to you and give you as much love as you give me – I wag my entire body when I see my foster mom! I’m willing to share the love! Please ask to meet me!

Born 6/28/08. AND YES, I actually do have cattle dog in me. Here is a picture of my mom, Brandi:

Intake date 6/08 from Apache Junction Animal Control.

Male adult ACD mix

Dundee

I had a pretty rough start. I was hit by a car when I was younger, so I was terrified of cars. I even used to flinch when you raised a hand. A nice family saw how sweet I was and took me in, but soon realized that they didn't have the resources to help me get better. They contacted New Hope and I am so happy they did! My foster mom has been really patient with me and I've become a whole new dog since the day I came to New Hope. I got over my nervousness about new situations, I'm not afraid of cars anymore and I've really learned all my manners since I've been here. Thanks Mom! She calls me the Gentle Giant. I love to give kisses and be around you all the time. I stay close by your side and am always looking to snuggle up. I've got really good manners with other dogs and I like trips to the dog park. I love going on walks too! I'm really good on a leash. I really like grown ups and teenagers, but I don't really care for little kids and cats look a lot of fun to chase and terrorize, so I would be good in home with older kids and no cats. I'm a big guy, but that's just so I can fit all the love I have in me! Please contact New Hope to meet me today!

Intake date 4/09 from owner surrender.

Good with older Kids, good with other female dogs but NO cats!

Adult Female ACD mix

Cheyanne

Hi there, I am one love muffin looking for the right companion. I am now a svelte 45 pounds and I have a waist! All it took to lose 23 pounds was the right food, a little bit or exercise and time! I am completely housetrained, dog door trained and even though I am missing an eye I get around with ease. I do require drops in my eye twice a day but I don't mind and I sit there patiently. I am learning that walks are a lot of fun and I yip like a sled dog when I go on one. I still need another dog as a companion for my walks so it is best that I go to a home with another dog if you want to walk me. However, I am extremely content to sit on the couch with you and eat bonbons. 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 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!

Blue Female Adolescent ACD

Tibby

Hi, my name is Tibby. I’m an 11 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.

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.

Intake date 09/09 from Maricopa County Animal Care & Control - West Side.

Zeva

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.

Blue Female Adult Cattle Dog

Bett

Hi there, my real name is Betsy but I prefer to be called Bett, that's because the people that would come to my foster mom's home would bet her that I would never be able to be re-homed.

My foster mom has spent the last 17 month working me thru all my fear issues. I came to New Hope so traumatized that I could not even communicate with a human or K9. I sought the darkest place in the house and only felt safe in a crate.

I will always need a very quiet home as new things and people still scare me but I eventually accept them. I am doing much better about a leash, they used to terrify me but not so much anymore. It took 6 months to take a treat from my foster mom's hand but now I have even been know to take one from a stranger.

I am eating great and stand at the big white box my foster mom calls the fridge, that's where the really good treats are kept. I finally am more comfortable outside but love to have her with me. I went to my first adoption event and did much better in a strange place than my foster mom or anyone else thought I would do.

If you are willing to be patient and let me adjust to a new home I would love nothing more that to lay at your feet all day. I am very quiet and only make noise when my foster mom is preparing all her foster dogs meals, I get pretty excited and talk up a storm when that is happening.

Once I get in her truck I am able to relax now and the last trip I even stood up and looked out the window.

If you would like to meet me please contact New Hope but always know I will need a very special home that is oh so patient, it could take several months for me to adjust to a new person and home but I will make it worth your while in the long run. I am just about 3 years old so I would be with you a long time. I have no tail but I do wiggle my butt. --Bett

Blue Male Adolescent Cattle Dog

Charlie

Hi there, my name is Charlie and even if I do say so I am one cute little guy, I weigh just 31 lbs and am 3 years old.

I have been through a lot in my young life, I have had two major surgeries called a left and right patella stabilization; that is where they go and carve out a groove in your bone and stretch the tendon and pin the tendon to the bone below. After my first surgery I became very scared of being poked on, stuck with things and cut on so I became what they call fear aggressive to strangers. After my second surgery my foster mom worked very hard with me to get me over it and I am doing much better now.

For the last week I have been staying with a friend of my foster mom in the town of Tucson, she has been taking me to places like PetsMart and other people's homes and I am doing so much better with greeting new dogs and people, I am taking treats from total strangers now and meeting and greeting in the proper way.

I am starting to learn to play a little bit but it's taking time to build up my strength because after each surgery I had to be totally confined for six to eight weeks and hand walked only as to allow the surgery's to heal. Each surgery cost between $2,100.00 and $2,300.00 dollars and thanks to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona I was able to be saved by New Hope.

I love to be with my person at all times but do really well in the crate if you must leave me at home for up to 8 hours at a time. I am pretty much house trained and love to eat my food. At first I would snap for treats but now I am a gentleman when it comes to them.

If you think I might be the dog you are looking for please fill out our adoption application and my foster mom will set up a time for you to meet me. Here's to ya, Charlie.

Blue Male Adolescent Cattle Dog mix

Hunter

Hi! I'm Hunter! I am the sweetest goofiest ball of dog you ever met. I am a rompin' and rollin' 1.5 year old neutered male cattle dog. I have a lot of energy and I burn it off playing with other dogs (which I love!), playing fetch and going running with my mom. My mom takes me running on the trails by my house and I think it's great. She uses a gentle leader and I stay right by her side. I love to play fetch too - I could play fetch all day long, or at least until my mom says 'all done!' and then I'll come up for back scratches and belly rubs. I'm house trained and crate trained, I just need enough exercise to stay a good boy. My mom would love to keep me but a tough family situation is pushing me out of the house. I have a lot of love to give an active family. Contact New Hope to meet me today!

Male Puppy Cattle Dog/Rat Terrier Mix

Mocha

Hi! My name is Mocha and I am sweet neutered male puppy (about 16 weeks old). I am an Aussie Cattle Dog/Terrier mix and I love to have fun. I am currently in foster care with New Hope Cattle Dogs and I am having a great time. My foster family has two dogs that love to play with me. Our favorite game is to chase each other in the backyard. Because I am a herder, I tend to playfully nip at my playmates heels, they don’t mind though, they just run faster! My foster family has two young children that I love to have fun with too. I am very cautious with my puppy teeth around them, but I do love to chew on my toys! I really enjoy sleeping through the night in my kennel, and my favorite place to nap is in next to my foster mom on the couch. My foster family lets me curl up and nap with cozy stuffed animals in the play room. I am a very smart little guy, I know how to sit and I am doing well on a leash. I can’t wait to find my forever home. I know that I would make a great companion for someone who likes to walk, run or hike. I am great with dogs and children and possibly cats. Will you be my forever home?

Blue Female Adolescent Cattle Dog

Poehler

Hi there! My name is Poehler and I'm rockin' three legs! Don't let that fool you, though. I can still sprint after the ball when I play fetch. In fact, playing fetch and going for walks are two of my favorite things to do! I'm also a real sweetheart - well, at least that's what my foster parents say. My foster mom says that she fell in love with me faster than any other foster she has had. After a little exercise, I love to curl up at my people's feet. I really wish my foster mom would let me cuddle with her on the couch, but she told me that some people don't like doggies on the couch. I have pretty good manners, so I listen to what my foster mom says. I'm an awesome dog. I'm crate trained and quiet in there. In fact, I love my crate. There's a nice soft bed in there and I like to just go in there and relax sometimes. Even though my exercise consists of going for walks and playing fetch right now, my foster parents think that I could be conditioned to go running or hiking. It would just take a little more time for me to get used to it and build up the endurance. My foster family has cats, but I'm a little too interested in them, so I'm may not be a good fit for a home with kitties. Please follow this link to watch the video of my foster sister and me playing fetch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMDgjyyS_4U It's so much fun! If you'd like to adopt one cool cattle dog, please ask to meet me!
