Adoption

June ARPH #14376

TX

June is a 6yo, 45lb, fully-vetted spayed female that is house-broken and crate-trained. June’s 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. We have been able to help make her feel safe and secure during storms by using a sturdy crate that she stays in during thunderstorms, which helps her to feel safe and secure.

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. 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.

Sterling ARPH #14693

TX

Sterling is ready for his forever home. He is a true charmer who has joined our program through no fault of his own. His previous owner faced a housing situation that made it impossible for her to keep him, leading to his surrender to our foster organization.

He is 6-years-old, small in stature, easy going, happy, and adores attention and cuddles. He is comfortable in a crate, but has proven to be a considerate house guest, making crating virtually unnecessary. He is fully house-trained, loves to chase lizards and squirrels, favors the couch over a bed, and is highly treat-motivated.

He has springs in his feet and curls into a circle when excited/happy. He loves being outside, no thunderstorm anxiety, enjoys scritches and belly rubs, sleeps quietly in a kennel, no marking in the house, and will keep your lap warm any chance he gets.

He and his foster brother are enjoying chasing each other in the backyard and hunting for lizards (If someone is looking for a dog to do barn hunt this could be your guy.)

Rides in the car quietly. No carsickness.

He would love to be in your lap or resting his head on your leg any chance he gets.

Overall a nice boy who would probably prefer to be an only dog again so he gets all the attention.

Sterling is located in Bedford, 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.

Laverne is housebroken, crate trained, and gets along with adults, children, dogs, and cats. She also rides well in the car!

Shirley is about 15 lbs overweight and has some weepy eyes we will be addressing in addition to the weight loss regimen. In the meantime, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know her and she is SO much fun! Shirley is friendly, loving, sassy, independent, goofy, and sweet! She loves a good game of fetch and wants to be the center of attention. She is good with other dogs, likes kids, does well with cats, and rides great in the car.

Shirley may be working on her diet plan, but she is ready to accept applications from her potential future family!

Mick ARPH #14646

TX

Meet Mick, a charming 5-year-old bi-black male with an easygoing personality and a heart full of quiet devotion.

Mick is the kind of dog who settles into your life effortlessly—house-trained, crate-trained, and non-destructive. He’s a low-energy, low-maintenance companion who’s perfectly content to lounge nearby while you work, making him an ideal match for a calm household or someone who works from home.

Mick is as polite as they come. He’s non-reactive when people are working in the yard or stopping by the door, and he’s great with children. During the day, he’s quiet and relaxed, happy just being near his people. He doesn’t jump on furniture and respects household boundaries, adding to his easy-to-live-with nature.

While Mick is generally laid-back, he does have a playful and affectionate side. When he’s especially happy, he’ll grab a stuffed animal and proudly carry it around to show you—his sweet way of sharing joy. He loves car rides and walks, and though he can get a bit excited when he sees other dogs on leash, he’s overall dog-friendly. He’s successfully stayed in three different foster homes while his foster family traveled —each with another male dog—and did well in every setting, though some dogs may require a slower introduction.

Mick thrives on companionship and truly loves being around his people. He may feel a little sad when you leave, but a short 15-minute walk beforehand helps him settle in comfortably. He also experiences mild storm anxiety, so a little reassurance during bad weather goes a long way.

He’s not an escape artist, but if given the chance, he might take himself on a casual neighborhood stroll—so a secure yard or attentive supervision is important.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will quietly keep you company and brighten your day with small, sweet gestures, Mick may be your perfect match.

Mick is located in Bryan, 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.

Kiwi ARPH #14640

TX

Kiwi is a stunning 1.5 year 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.

Rojo ARPH #14696

TX

This stunning boy is named Rojo, and he’s looking for a soft place to land.

Rojo’s life before he came to ARPH is unknown. He was picked up as a stray in Oklahoma by animal control before they transferred him to a high-volume partner here in North Texas. It was here that a kind volunteer felt a soft spot for him and pulled him out of the shelter, taking care of him until he could be handed over to us.

Rojo is approximately 1.5 years old, 40lbs, house-trained, crate-trained, and fully vetted. He is a gentler fellow that needs consistency and stability. When he first arrived in foster care, he was a bit skittish and shy… even too shy to eat. However, once he knew the routine and felt safe, he warmed up and became really happy and content.

Rojo is fabulous with all other dogs, and would greatly benefit from another dog in the home that can help show him the ropes. He has done well in many different settings, including the vet, a pet bar, and a doggy daycare. He is a calmer, very quiet boy that really loves to stay near his people. While we have never seen him around young children, we figure that they might be a little too much for him. However, he is perfectly fine with cats!

Rojo is very unassuming, and very much wants to please. Once he opens up, he has a very cute and endearing personality. He loves to give kisses and really likes it when you tell him what a good boy he is. When re-assured, he even smiles! He is great with baths and grooming, and loves to roll around on the towel.

Overall, Rojo would do really well with a person or couple that are seeking calm companionship and perhaps a friend for their current dog. With a little time and experience under his belt, Rojo will flourish.

Rojo is located in Lubbock, 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.
