Adoption

June ARPH #14376

TX

June is a 5yo, 45lb, fully-vetted spayed female that is house-broken and crate-trained. Her future home will be someone that is home more often than not... such as a retired person, or someone who works from home. She was initially adopted out from our organization and then returned 2 years later due to the development of storm anxiety. June takes a daily (cheap) medication to help with keeping her anxiety at bay, and she does great with this. She also has a special, sturdy crate that she stays in during thunderstorms. It helps her to feel safe and secure, and she actually really likes it.

June can run like the wind, and she enjoys the large backyard at her foster home. She loves playing with toys by herself at times and will play fetch. She also has a fun-loving playful spirit that will keep you laughing and entertained. With other dogs, June prefers older, mellow, male canine counterparts. She would likely prefer being the only dog to get all the attention and spoiling for herself!

In addition, June was not treated well by a man who was part of her early life experience, but she has done very well bonding to men that volunteer for the rescue. She will bond with her new owner in the same way she has bonded and adores her foster parents.

She will need an active household and possibly a training activity where she can excel and learn. Belly rubs, cuddling and pets are always welcome. She will offer an Aussie smile too when she is excited and wants a hello hug. June deserves her FINAL forever home. Could that be you?

June is located in Sanger, TX and it is required that you travel there to meet her in person within 10 days of application approval if you want to adopt. We do need the entire party to be involved when meeting available dogs, including every family member and dog(s) that currently live in your home.

If you are an approved ARPH adopter with a current application on file and interested in learning more about June please contact Laura at [email protected]. If you are interested in becoming an approved ARPH adopter, please submit an adoption application.

Millie ARPH #14446

PA

Meet Millie! Millie was very much loved but sadly came to us due to her owner's terminal illness. She is a seven year old spayed black tri (turning eight in January), up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. She loves all humans, greeting everyone with a wiggle, just looking for attention and petting. She is a velcro Aussie, wanting to be with her person (or at least in sight), and will be underfoot wherever that person might be. Millie is VERY food motivated as evidenced by her weigh in of 92 pounds at her vet visit! Less intake and more exercise will continue her weight loss program from a max of 106 at the end of April in her former home, although she'll be on the larger side even at a good weight. Inside that bulky body, though, is a dog that wants very much to be frisky and active. She LOVES going for walks and does nicely on leash. A fenced yard is preferred, but homes without them will be considered on an individual basis.

She's not a fan of the crate and doesn't really need one, but she will go in for treats. Millie has excellent house manners and will let you know if she needs to go out. She has opinions and will sometimes vocalize them, especially if she wants treats. Given her size, it's not easy, but she will sit and down for the right treats. She does alert bark when someone comes or she hears a car go by; no one will sneak up on you with her around!

Millie is fine with cats and lives with two in her foster home. She lived with other dogs in her previous home and with one now, but she can be bossy and prefers not to share toys, although she's not obsessed with them. She won't be placed with another female, but she could be okay with the right male.

Millie's dream home would be with someone who is home most of the time, enjoys long walks, will give her a couch or chair where she can be comfy, and who will love her for the rest of her life. She will be a lovely companion and will be totally devoted to her person or persons.

Millie is fostered near Honesdale, PA. If you are already approved, contact Kay at [email protected].

Kiwi ARPH #14640

TX

Kiwi is a stunning 8-month-old double merle Australian Shepherd with a sweet soul and a heart full of love. This girl may have a hearing impairment and some vision issues but that doesn’t slow her down one bit—she is curious, affectionate, and eager to bond with her people.

Kiwi thrives on love and attention and adores cuddle time. She is crate trained but really prefers to be part of whatever is going on in the household. Whether she is lounging at your feet, snuggling next to you on the sofa watching TV, or following you around the house, Kiwi is happiest when she is near her humans.

She gets along well with other dogs, can be vocal when playing a rousing game of chase or “bitey face”, and has plenty of energy for walks but also takes plenty of naps. She is a nice medium energy girl who has never met a stranger and will wiggle her way right into your heart.

While training is a little more challenging due to her hearing impairment, she can see movement so she is learning some training hand signals. She also wears a vibration collar (that will come with her to her forever home) to let her know to look at or come to her foster mom. She would do best in a calm, patient home that understands her needs and will continue her training journey.

She travels well in a car…no carsickness…but does expect you to hand over a treat every now and then while traveling. She loves going for walks where she gets to sniff to her heart’s content. So most walks can be slow and steady not a race to the finish.

Kiwi is spayed, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready for a forever family that will cherish her uniqueness.

Could you be the one to give this special girl the loving home she deserves?

Kiwi is located in Bedford, TX and it is required that you travel there to meet her in person within 10 days of application approval if you want to adopt. We do need the entire party to be involved when meeting available dogs, including every family member and dog(s) that currently live in your home.

Elm ARPH #14675

OK

Elm is a ~3yo, 35lb, fully-vetted male Australian Shepherd.

Elm is a cuddly and very people focused dog. He plays with his foster brothers and is buddies with the cat but he chooses people over other pets every time. He willingly crates but barks in his crate (quiet over night). He would probably enjoy a home where he doesn't have to be crated.

He barks at new people in the home (but asks for pets even while barking), he barks at dogs encountered on walks. He adores kids and will sit in any available lap. He is tall, light, and built very slender. He shows no interest in toys but that may change once his mouth isn't painful (recovering from surgery so on medical hold for another month or so!).

Elm is located in Tulsa, OK and it is required that you travel there to meet him in person within 10 days of application approval if you want to adopt. We do need the entire party to be involved when meeting available dogs, including every family member and dog(s) that currently live in your home.

Bosque ARPH #14679

TX

Bosque is a stunning six-month-old black tri Australian Shepherd with long, silky fur, a full tail, and the kind of caramel eyes that look right into your soul. Currently about 35 pounds, he’s expected to mature around 50 pounds, a perfect, athletic medium size.

At home, Bosque is all puppy energy. He is bouncy, playful, and always ready for action. He’s the definition of an energizer bunny. Outside the home, though, he becomes more thoughtful and observant, checking in with his person constantly. He adores his people and loves to stay close… very close. If you’ve ever wanted a true velcro dog, Bosque is your pup.

His favorite activity is going in the water. Bosque lives for the doggy pool. He digs, splashes, swims, rolls around in water. He even enjoys a bath he loves water so much. He enjoys all kinds of toys and is a happy wrestler with other dogs. His natural herding instincts shine as he chases his canine friends, but he takes correction well if he gets a bit too enthusiastic.

With his athleticism, brains, and high energy, Bosque is an excellent agility prospect. He would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard and would absolutely love having another playful dog in the family. Bosque is house-trained and already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “come.” He learns more each day thanks to his intelligence and strong food motivation.

Bosque has interacted politely with young children outside the home, but because he can be jumpy and mouthy when excited, he’s best matched with kids sturdy enough not to be easily knocked over. His behavior around cats is unknown, but odds are he’d try to play—perhaps a little too exuberantly for some felines.

He is neutered, up-to-date on medical care, and currently being fostered in Waco, Texas. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, high-energy companion who will stick by your side and fill your days with joy, Bosque is ready to meet you!

Bosque is located in Waco, TX and it is required that you travel there to meet him in person within 10 days of application approval if you want to adopt. We do need the entire party to be involved when meeting available dogs, including every family member and dog(s) that currently live in your home.
