Daisy is a sweet affectionate Bi black Sheltie girl, about three years old.  She was displaced from her home, along with her buddy, Buster 2, due to a family issue.  Daisy can be shy and a bit skittish at first, but warms up quickly.  She is good on a leash, good for the vet, enjoys being brushed and groomed, and is the perfect size at 25 pounds.   Daisy is good with cats and other socialized dogs, and she rides well in the car.   She comes when called, she loves to be held and your lap is her favorite spot.

Daisy and Buster 2 would be great together as they are very comfortable with each other, but they would also do well in a home with another dog-friendly dog.  Daisy is used to being a member of a Collie-Sheltie pack, so we think she would do best if she lived with another dog in the home.  She is vetted, has her microchip, and is looking for a new family.

Buddy is a six year old tri male sheltie.  He was turned over to our rescue by his older owner who was moving out of state and could not take him.  He was actually turned over with another sheltie and Buddy was viewed as the more active of the two.  Buddy has been good with other dogs in the foster home but has been somewhat reactive to other dogs on walks.  We don’t think his prior owner walked him outside the yard.  We think he will be good with older kids.  He shows too much “interest” in cats and tends to want to run them off.  So, a cat house would not work.  Buddy seems in good shape and is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations.

Looking for a happy go lucky girl? A playmate for another dog in your family? Demi is the one. This sweet tail wagger is about 8 years old. She is a bi-black Sheltie who was found wandering as a stray in West Texas.  

Demi arrived in rescue with some medical issues, most likely caused by neglect. It was also clear she had had multiple litters. She was spayed, had a dental and put on an inexpensive medication for her thyroid and is now feeling much better.  she obviously had been used as a breeding dog.

Fast forward 6 weeks...Demi is ready to be adopted.  She is good with other dogs, not sure about cats, totally adores people, loves to play ball and bark and enjoy the sunshine.

Demi is leash trained, rides in a car well, it's good for the vet and the groomer, and is searching for the perfect family. She is a very sweet girl.

Holly is a nice looking six year old sable female sheltie.  She was turned over to us by her owner as Holly was having some issues in her neighborhood.  A condo without yard and without play buddies was probably not the right home for this high energy girl.  She is enjoying playing with her foster siblings and is enjoying playful interaction with her foster mom and dad.  She will cuddle when the house is quiet.  She uses a dog door.  Still, Holly can be a pretty anxious girl and will probably not do well with younger kids and cats.  She also doesn't like doorbells, the phone ringing or the microwave dinging.  So she has some OCD type tendencies there.  Also, not a great traveler in the car.  She appears to be in good health and has great looking teeth for a six year old.  She has a lot of love to give for the right home.

She is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations.

Loki is an estimated four year old Australian shepherd mix.  He was originally brought into rescue several months ago when his owner was being evicted from the family ranch.  Loki is actually believed to be Kyla’s brother.  Kyla is also in our program.  Loki is a pretty rambunctious and strong young guy.  He is probably around 50 pounds.  He was adopted out by our rescue but Loki was returned as he was just too much for the older and small statured owners.  He pulls very strongly on walks and can be reactive towards other dogs and cats that he encounters.  Without aides such as a gentle leader he can pull over an inattentive walker.  With those that he knows he can be a very sweet boy and he has been good with dogs that he has been properly introduced to and lives with.  We would probably not recommend a cat family.  We think he would be good with older kids.  He can be a bit of a barker in the yard if not corrected. 

Loki has no known health issues, is neutered, microchipped, and current on shots. 

Rosie  is a sweet 7 year old Collie mix that was rescued from a shelter in El Paso, Texas.  She had been found wandering as a stray.  When we first met her, she was emaciated, had an eye infection, had an infected hole in her right flank from a pellet or BB gun, was sporting a golf ball sized tumor on her underside, needed a dental badly, and was not yet spayed. Upon complete vetting, tumor removal and xrays, she appears to have a slight degree of hio dysplasia, but nothing that stoos her from getting around and even jumpin up. 

She is housebroken, socialized and good with people. She is not fond of cats or dominant female dogs.  She will make a great family pet.

Buster is a recent addition to rescue.  He was removed from the Pinal County Animal Control as a stray.  We were told he could be a sheltie mix.  Upon actually seeing him not so sure about that but he is a sweet guy worthy of love.  He is currently estimated to be about seven years old.  He is pretty small at about 20 pounds.  Buster is settling in well with his current foster family and is a pleasant guy.  He has gotten along fine with the other household dogs but seems to be a little unnerved at a rambunctious collie puppy.  As a result, we think he would do best in a household without other dogs or dogs that are a little more mellow.  We think he would be fine with cats.  We think he would be fine with all but the smallest children.  He does not seem to be a very active dog.  We think he will do well in most homes.  

Buster has been neutered while in rescue and is scheduled to have a dental.  He has a noticeable "skin tag" that will be removed during the dental.  While in the shelter Buster was observed to have some vision impairment and this was confirmed by an eye specialist.  He does have some cataracts but the specialist indicates that she does not think that is the cause of the impairment but rather a retinal issue and probably degenerative.  So, he can see relatively well currently and gets around fine in the house but it quite possibly can get worse.  He does not seem to be in pain and has been adjusting quite well to his vision loss.  Also, as is characteristic of most of the unneutered dogs that we take in, Buster was prone to marking but this has noticeably decreased since the neuter.
