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.

Frank ARPH #14630

TX

Frank is an ~1.5-2yo, 50lb, fully-vetted male Australian Shepherd that came to us from a very full shelter after being picked up as a stray.

He is a very exuberant boy that LOVES LIFE and is go-go-go! He is outgoing, fun, and incredibly energetic. He has never met a stranger, and will keep you on your toes! This boy is too smart for his own good, and must have been born with a billy-goat gene. He can climb and jump with the best of them, thus his future home must have a tall and very secure fence!

Frank is not for the first time dog owner. He is smart, but has a bit of a stubborn streak and will need continued training and plenty of exercise to be a model canine citizen. He will fetch a ball until your arm falls off, and loves toys of all varieties. He loves other dogs, too - but he can play a bit rough and get excitable, so a middle-aged, athletic but "calmer-than-Frank" dog is probably the best idea. Due to his size and energy, we are looking for a home without toy/small breed dogs, or young children (10+ only).

Franks ideal family is one that wants to include him in all aspects of their life and do ALL THE THINGS. He is ready for adventure 110% of the time. He is crate-trained and does very well on a leash. At this time, he is NOT reliable off-leash due to both prey drive and the desire to thrill-seek. He would happy be dog-napped by any stranger!

If you're looking for a hiking, jogging, paddle-boarding, marathon-running, thrill-seeking pup.. Frank is the boy for you!

Frank is located in Burleson, 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.

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

 

 

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.

Kenny ARPH #14638

TX

Say hello to Kenny, a 7-month-old male Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his boundless energy! This stunning double merle boy is almost entirely white, with a tiny splash of brown on his rump and the cutest pink-and-brown spotted nose you've ever seen. When full grown, we expect him to be around 50 pounds.

Kenny is also deaf, but don’t let that fool you—he’s just as playful, intelligent, and loving as any pup! He’s already learning to communicate through hand signals and is eager to please. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll be a superstar.

Kenny is a total sweetheart who adores people, is fantastic with kids, and is a social butterfly with other dogs. He's incredibly dog-savvy—he reads dog body language well and responds appropriately when corrected. Kenny is always up for playtime and absolutely lives for toys and giving endless kisses!

He’s full of puppy energy and needs an active, experienced owner who can help him continue his training and teach him that jumping up isn’t the best way to say hi (even if he’s just so excited to see you!). He’s smart, eager to please, and with consistent guidance, he’ll thrive.

If you're looking for a joyful, affectionate, and energetic companion who’ll keep you on your toes and fill your life with love, Kenny is your guy!

Kenny 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.
