Now available for adoption: Sassy Pants! Sassy is a roughly 15 month old blue ACD.![]()
She came to us about 7 months ago, abandoned by her owner, and now being cared for by a kind lady. She was adopted right away by a great family. Sadly, that family had a very tragic event, and Sassy was reluctantly returned. She is a perfect little girl. Initially quite unsure of her surroundings, she will settle in nicely![]()
![]()
She loves women, and is little unsure of men. Patience with Sassy at first, is crucial. She is desperate to bond and be someone’s everything. She is house trained. She sleeps on our bed and doesn’t make a peep (unless you count snoring)![]()
![]()
Sassy should probably be placed as a single dog, or with a male. She lives with 5 other dogs now, with 3 females and it’s just fine. She’s had some incidents with the other females going after her, and she’s so submissive and sweet, it just wasn’t fair to her. Sassy needs her forever home. She’s been through a lot, and deserves to be settled in for life. Come and get her 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by filling out an application on our website (link in bio)![]()

Now available for adoption: Mahomes! Mahomes was named BEFORE the Super Bowl, so imagine our relief when KC actually won. And he’s aptly named at this point, as he’s going to be built like a football player. We have submitted a DNA test and awaiting the results![]()
![]()
He is a wonderful boy, who was picked up in Flagstaff crying and alone. He did suffer a skull fracture somehow, but it’s healed and he has no residual issues. Just a happy loving puppy! He’s approximately 5 months old. He’s been fostered with 4 other dogs and does just fine. He is crate trained, almost house trained (he’s a baby) and sleeps all night![]()

Mahomes is currently being fostered in Carefree and available post neutering 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by filling out an application on our website (link in bio)![]()

Now available for adoption: Teddy Bear! SPECIAL PLACEMENT - Please read Teddy’s complete bio before you determine whether you want to put in an application specifically for him.![]()
![]()
Though Teddy Bear looks a puppy, he is not. Teddy is a 2-year-old mini ACD who was found in the backyard of a home after the folks had moved away. No one really knows how long Teddy was there by himself, but he was terrified, cold, and very thin. Teddy, all 17 lbs. of him, is making amazing progress in his foster home, but he has a long way to go toward fully trusting people again. He is going to need patience, calm, and acceptance at his own pace. In the month Teddy has been with his foster family, he has gone from hiding in his crate all day long to willingly and happily engaging with his foster brothers and with his human care givers, on his terms. He is sweet and every bit a cattle dog in a tiny package. He plays long and hard with his three foster brothers, who are all more than twice his size and weight. His coat feels like a sherpa throw blanket— so soft.![]()
![]()
His adopter can fully expect that Teddy will revert to hiding in his crate and cowering from them. It will take time for him to become comfortable in his new situation but rest assured, he will come around, as long as his adopters do not, in any way, try to “push” his progress. Teddy needs a hands-off approach in the first weeks. People who see him will want to pick him up and cuddle with him immediately, but they must resist that urge, for his mental health progress to continue.![]()

Teddy is house trained and crate trained, but this may also back up a bit in a new situation for a period of time. He is fully vetted and will be available the week of March 20th. Teddy is currently being fostered in Rio Rico, Arizona 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by filling out an application on our website (link in bio)![]()
