Hello, my name is Willow. As you can see from my photos, I am just the cutest little ACD you have ever met. At least, that’s what my foster family tells me every day.

I am pretty much crate trained, with just an occasional slip up and am beginning to learn my house manners and will need continued help from my new, forever family. My foster dad says I am cuddly and loving as well as inquisitive and full of energy. I lo [...]

Texas Red walked out of the Dragoon hills, not far from the “Texas Canyon” rest stop on I-10 and onto a small ranch where a lovely lady took him in so he could rest and relax for a little while. He was clean and seemed to be well fed so we don’t think he was alone for a long time, but he was terrified of just about everything! He would bellycrawl up to her and continued to present that behavior each time she talked to him. He was a very frightened young man. The lady contacted ACDR to see if we [...]
