Shirley ARPH #14687

TX

Shirley is a 7yo Red Tricolor female Australian Shepherd that was surrendered to our organization (along with Laverne) after her owner passed away and she lost her family. It is clear that these girls were very loved!

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!

Shirley is located in Burleson, 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 Shirley please contact Laura at [email protected]. If you are interested in becoming an approved ARPH adopter, please submit an adoption application.

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.

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.
