Brando

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.

Afraid of any age of kids so not recommended for Kids, good with other dogs and good with cats!

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 some other dogs but NO cats!

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.

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

Good with Kids, good with other dogs and cats!

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.

Sid

Hi my name is Sid. I love adults and children. I also play well with other dogs. I've still got some puppy energy, but that is easily drained with a game of fetch, a run through the dog park or a nice walk. I've been around horses and I'm not scared of them and don't really care to herd them either. I am crate trained and house broke. I love to ride in the car when ever you'll take me, I just want to be with you! I have a very silly happy go lucky personality. My foster mom has taught me some manners, which makes her and I happier! And it will help you when you take me home! If you would like to no more about me give my foster mom a call and she'll give you all the dirt on me!

Tuff

***ADOPTION PENDING!!***

Hi ya'll my name is tuff. I am a gentle, snuggly kinda dude. When New Hope rescued me they think I had gotten hit by a car because I was really sore and a little shy. When my foster mom got me she saw all the scrapes and cuts I had so she made me really comfortable in a crate to sleep. That's how I got my name tuff. But anyways I am all healed up and now I act like the cattle dog I am. I really love to play ball. I love it when they throw it up in the air so I can catch it. Me and my foster sister race to see who can get the ball first and the gentleman I am I let her win. :) I am housebroken, crate trained, walk well on a leash, know basic commands such as: sit, off, lay down, and I am learning to wait. I would do good with other female dogs or by myself. I love kids. Now I just need my forever home. Is that you? Can't wait to meet you. Thank you Tuff

What ever that means I thought I had fur. :) I am starting to play with the other dogs. I love my foster mom's little nephew. I love to lick him, Joey laughs at me when I do that. I am crate trained, housebroken. I walk very well on a leash and I'm learning to sit and wait. Now I'm just waiting for you to pick me to be a part of your family forever. Thank you Jaycee.

Pepper

***ADOPTED!!***

Hi, there! I am looking for my forever home. Even though I am deaf, I am very much a cattle dog in every way. I can hang with the big dogs. In fact, I am being schooled by 4 adult cattle dogs. They are teaching what is acceptable and what is not. I have made a lot of progress in the last week socializing and working on hand signals. I can use the doggy door like a pro and am potty trained. I can sit, shake, and I'm working on lie down. I'm one smart and determined little guy. Can't wait to meet you! J

They are loving and affectionate. They may be 10 years old, but they still have spunk. They have alot to offer. Please ask to meet them.

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.

Another video of me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cgehANSYLk

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.

Josie

Hi! I'm Josie, my owner surrendered me back to NHCD Rescue after 8 yrs of owning me.  She loved me very much, but her living situation had changed so she had to let me go.  I'm a very loveable and friendly girl. They tell me I'm a canine, but I think they are mistaken. I think I'm a "hairy human" as I'm quite happy and content living indoors. I'm house trained and LOVE a doggy door. I get along with other dogs and have been around horses and cats. I know the basics: sit, lay down, stay, leave it, and wait. I will even shake your hand :) I love going for walks and just being with my person makes me happy. So, if you're looking for a friend that is always glad to see you- I'm your girl!!!

Genny

Howdy partner, My name is Genny. I am a Cattle Dog Beagle mix, although the only beagle you will notice is in my coloring. That's right no howling or crazy barking all night long. No...No! I was raised and trained on a real cattle farm and when I retired I found a home through NHCD. After seven years of living in the same home around cats, dogs of all different sizes and breeds, and children, I am about to loose my house. I am very sweet and loving, I enjoy playing ball and taking car rides. I enjoy getting baths with a power nozzle on the hose, ooh feels so good. I am crate trained but would rather not be in one and usually try to convince my owner otherwise. I do not go to the bathroom in the house, No...No! I use a doggy door or sometimes when we travel and there is no doggy door I will sit at the door and cry a little to get my owners attention. I have a special profile now since my aural hematoma surgery, one ear stays up and the other is folded forward...I think it adds character. I am 11 years old and like most older dogs I have beginning cataracts and a faint heart murmur, but you would never notice because I am on top of my game. I follow my owner every where I can, and sometimes I even beg to go when I know I can't...hey I'm a dog, what did you expect. I follow directions with ease, basic commands like sit down, lay down...I know those by hand signals. I do have boundary training and love to visit new places and settings to expand my socialization skills. When I do find a home I will try to be the alpha dog, I am use to training young dogs and being the Mother type to all my dog friends. I like my space when I am resting, and eating. I will growl or even bark at my dog friends if they pass my boundaries...but I do not like to fight. I would prefer a nice calm home so I can rest during the day...but when my owner gets home I want a walk and I want to play ball. I do not realize my size sometimes and will take over the couch and bed if my owner lets me...but I do not snore like some of my doggy friends. So if you are looking for a stable companion, or best friend of the furry kind...please contact NHCD and Tell them Genny sent you.
