Now available for adoption— Frankie! This beautiful young man is ready and raring to head out on his next big adventure with his forever family. Meet Frankie. He is 10 months old and is just the most gorgeous boy, with his blue, blue eyes, and his floppy black ears. He is a card carrying ACD (Australian Cattle Dog) mix. What is he mixed with? Our best guesstimate is Plott Hound but he has been tight lipped with that information so we can only speculate without doing a DNA test. He does not bay but barks like every other self-respecting ACD.![]()
![]()
He has the best personality. Always happy, and very active with his 4 foster brothers and sisters. He keeps them on their toes with his antics. He loves to play with the big dogs, and he loves to cuddle with his foster parents. He adores his squeaky toys and will share a game of tug-tug with his foster sister. We think he will be medium sized when he finally grows into his feet and his ears. He has long legs so he will be a tall boy. He currently weighs in at 22 lbs.![]()
![]()
Frankie is fully crate trained as well as 100% house trained. He loves to play chase in the backyard with the other fosters and he is darned good at keeping up! He is very treat-motivated so any training you want to do with him will only require that you bring food to the party!![]()

Frankie is fully vetted and ready to find his forever home, hopefully with another dog who is respectful of him.![]()

The fine print: similar to most rescue organizations, ACDR has an adoption process. The process cannot be completed onsite. Any adoptions that occur at these public events involve adopters who have already completed the process prior. This event allows the public to meet us, discuss the adoption process, learn about ACDs and meet a few great dogs![]()

Now available for adoption— Tatum & Shea (as a pair)! Meet Tatum (female) and Shay (male), a bonded pair who were found dragging their leashes through a Paradise Valley community. Though this duo had the support of an entire neighborhood working tirelessly on their behalf to locate an owner, no one came forward to claim them. So, ACDR stepped up to help get this pair on the way to a brighter future!![]()
![]()
Both dogs are about 1 year old, fully vetted, spayed and neutered and love people! They appear to be completely housebroken but are crated when the foster family needs to leave the house. They are currently being fostered with 3 cattle dog mixes and two senior small dogs. They play with the cattle dogs with gusto, and generally ignore the small dogs. They have not been exposed to cats.![]()
![]()
Tatum appears to be an ACD/ Black Mouth Cur mix and is energetic and gregarious. She absolutely loves to swim and has been swimming laps 5-6x a day at her foster home. She loves to engage Shay and her foster siblings with tag and wrestling. She is demonstrative, loves to give kisses and snuggle and loves belly rubs. She, too, enjoys snuggling with her people. She also knows some commands and takes her treats gently. Tatum is 55 pounds and is likely fully grown.![]()
![]()
Shay, the male red heeler mix, is a true gentleman. He knows commands, will lightly tap you with his paw to seek attention, takes treats gently and loves to snuggle with you for a nap on the couch. He also enjoys playing with Tatum and his foster siblings. His foster mom says that Shay is an old soul, as he is quite calm for a pup, and very gentle with people. Shay weighs 30 pounds and is likely fully grown.![]()
![]()
ACDR recommends a home with adults, and children who are 12 and older, based on Tatum’s size/strength. She’s incredibly sweet but doesn’t realize how big she is and could knock over little ones as she runs by.![]()

Tatum and Shay are currently being fostered in Surprise, Arizona. The fosters want to place them as a bonded pair as they have likely been together their entire lives 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by filling out an application on our website (link in bio)
Now available for adoption— Bohdi! Bohdi is an almost one year old ACD mix with ears for days (free HBO anyone?)! He weighs roughly 40lbs. He’s as sweet and loving as they come, and he loves (respectful) children! He lived with a 4 and 7 year old.![]()
![]()
Bohdi is great with other dogs too. Cats are unknown but given his temperament we would guess he’d likely be fine.![]()
![]()
Bohdi is a huge snuggler, and likes to give kisses. He is crate trained and sleeps all night. Bohdi is housetrained as well.![]()
![]()
Bohdi comes with a nice wooden crate that looks like furniture, his bowls and a few other items sent by his previous owners.![]()
![]()
He was well loved and adored his entire life, but a family issue arose, as they do. Bohdi is neutered and up to date on his vaccines 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by filling out an application on our website (link in bio)![]()

Now available for adoption— Corey! This gorgeous, solidly built, little tank of an ACD, is named Corey. He is 4 ½ months old, weighs in at 18 lbs. and will be ready to go to his forever home, beginning the week of June 17th after the vetting process has been completed.![]()
![]()
He is a little dynamo who plays with the big boys in his foster home as well as with his older sister (from another mother) and yet another foster sister. He is fearless, to say the least, yet loves his foster mom and dad.![]()
![]()
Corey is crate trained but is not yet house trained, as he is a bit young to get that. He is smart as a whip and it won’t take long for him to master that task and move on to whatever else you want to teach him. He is fast as lightening and loves to play chase and to run laps in his backyard. Then he comes in for his morning nap. Step and repeat is his motto. Eat, play, sleep, eat…![]()
![]()
As we said above, he is solidly built and will likely be in the 50lbs range, once he reaches maturity. We believe Corey to be pure bred because of the circumstances of his beginnings in life. He is a beauty for sure.![]()
![]()
If you are interested in meeting Corey, or any of our dogs, the first step is to submit an application through our website, arizonacattledogrescue.org. It in no way obligates you to adopt, it is simply part of our process.![]()
