Howdy y’all! 🧡🤠🐕 Letting the Tucson people know— to come join us this Saturday for our monthly meet and greet at the Petco on River Rd. We will have some human and dog representatives there in a no pressure environment to meet and learn about our rescue and the breed. This amazing, wonderful, handsome boy, Frankie, will be there too! He is available for adoption, through our adoption process

September 21st, 2024 from 10AM to 12PM
Petco – 5625 E. River Rd., Tucson, AZ 85750

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— Ranger! Ranger is a cattle dog mix, but don’t tell him that. He’s got pure cattle dog energy and tons of it! This 10 month old pup goes from day to night, playing, learning about the world and having fun, but leaving plenty of time to be a sweet little cuddle bug

House trained, and semi crate trained, he would be best for a very active household— are you a marathon runner or distance hiker looking for a buddy on your trips? Ranger is the boy for you! He is fine with other dogs, and has been taught to leave his foster family’s chickens alone, but has not been tested around cats. He is very curious, and very smart, and would benefit from and love training

He is neutered and chipped and ready to be placed 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by following the instructions and filling out an application on our website (link in bio)

ACDR needs your help!

Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue is in dire need of committed foster volunteers in order to continue our mission of saving at risk cattle dogs throughout the state.

Covid did a huge number on our foster base and a very small group has been fostering multiple dogs in their homes since that time. Those dedicated fosters are starting to burn out and we need to expand our foster base in order to give all of our fosters a much needed break between dogs. One of our most dedicated fosters has had up to 13 foster dogs in their home, along with their own three dogs. They need a breather!

Can you see it in your heart to foster a homeless dog from intake to adoption? ACDR pays all Vet bills and arranges for any medical attention needed . If you need a crate, ACDR will provide it for you when you take your foster dog into your home.

If you are interested in fostering with ACDR or have any questions about volunteering with us, please message or email us (email in bio) 🐕🌵🏜️❤️

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.

He is currently being fostered in Rio Rico 🐾🤠🧡🐶 If interested in adopting, start by following the instructions and filling out an application on our website (link in bio)
