Betty was a wonderful surprise! She was just hanging out at the shelter when our President went to pull another dog,and there she was! So she was scooped up and brought into our fold. Betty is about 4-5 yrs old, and she is deaf. She is very attached to her person, so she’s never too far away to see your hand signals. She loves everyone! She’s highly intelligent, and learns very quickly. She gets along just fine with the three dogs in her foster home. She does get a little possessive of her perso [...]

Are you looking for an all in one whirlwind, snuggle bug and a couch potato? Then I’m your boy! My foster parents call me “Cheddar” because I love cheese and because I have a “cheesy” smile! I will almost always greet you with a polite play bow-before trying to start a game of tug of war! I view everything as an adventure. I’m a young (9 month) boy just figuring out the world. I am extra diligent, and love to learn. So far, in addition to being crate trained and mostly house trained I sit polite [...]

Meet Madison. She is a very lady like little girl who loves her belly rubs. She is not very interested in retrieving a ball yet but loves her chew toys. She is house trained and crate trained though she prefers not to be confined in her crate and will let you know very clearly.  She is learning the meaning of off but forgets if food is involved. She can be quiet when she wants to be and is a little shy when she hears strange noises. She bounces back as you reassure her it is okay. She learns qui [...]

Meet Jamison, JJ for short. He is truly one of a kind. He loves with his whole heart. He is full of life and quite the explorer. He does not shy away from noisy situations but is very curious as to what might be happening. JJ is the inquisitive dog of the day. He loves to play with his sister most of the day, but also loves his naptime. He has been taught to sit and stay on command for a treat. Working on leash training that is progressing slowly but surely. JJ, like his sister, loves the water [...]

Why, you ask, is this lovely girl still on our website and not already adopted? We have asked ourselves that very question and the only reason we can come up with is that she is predominantly black and black dogs, like black cats, are quite often overlooked. Montana is just the sweetest young girl you could ever meet. She loves with her whole heart and she plays that way too! She is a 9 month old ACD/BC mix who is black with blue paws and a blue chest. Montana is living in a foster home with thr [...]

It is that time of year again and ACDR has puppies that are just about ready and raring to find their next forever homes! These two cuties are Utah (she’s the blue) and Montana her sister (she’s the black with blue paws) They are flamboyant, happy, ACTIVE, sweet girls who will need active homes to keep them occupied and entertained. No couch potato living for these girls! They could be great hiking buddies for the avid hiker once they are fully grown and their recall is down pat. They in return, [...]

Sweet and sassy, sugar and spice, that describes Sunny Rae to a ‘T’.  Please meet this cutie.

She sits nicely for treats with encouragement, walks nice [...]

Hello - Please let me introduce myself.  Benny Joe here to tell you all about my wonderful life.  I am so lucky to have landed in the loving arms of Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue just a mere two months ago.  I am 10 months old, a svelte 45 pounds, and oh so handsome (if I do say so myself).  I have to tell you, I had so much to learn & still more to learn - I am a very smart boy & a quick study.  I love to play & romp with dogs of all ages any size.  I am very strong so kids of a young a [...]

Say hello to Riley. Isn’t she pretty? Look at her ring tail. It is awesome to behold. Riley is a 5 ½ year old ACD. She has been nothing but sweet in her foster home with all the male dogs and with her foster peeps. She can be a bit snarky with other female dogs but can be easily redirected to more appropriate behavior. We would recommend that she goes to a home with experienced ACD owners who understand the breed characteristics. She would not be a candidate for a first time ACD owner. She is cu [...]
