My name is Ella and I live in Divide Colorado. I am a 2 1/2 year old Blue Heeler and I am a Colorado native (not bragging, just saying). I have been spayed but am not leash trained as I live on a large piece of property. I am also not trained for cattle. I currently live with other dogs but I want to be the boss so it may be best if I am the only doggo in my new home. I love the snow and have lots of energy so I will need a job or daily exercise. Please email Susan Tanner at tannersusan47@gmail.com to schedule a meeting or for further information

Strong • Handsome • Loving. Hi! I am Phantom. I am pure love and I like to stay close to my person. I know how to walk and run really well on a leash but lately I have felt more anxious and get very strong on the leash when we pass or see some dogs. I’m currently working on managing my excitement when I see another dog (or a bunny) while out on a walk or hike. I've also felt a little overwhelmed if walking next to a busy street. I would benefit from a calm and quiet house full of people love. I've not shown any aggression toward new people coming into the house and loved my teenager humans. I sleep super well overnight in my crate. I can sit pretty all day and am food motivated but not when overly-stimulated. I love to lay at your feet and I love to play with toys. I am a big strong dog and I like to give hugs. I know many commands like sit, go potty, go outside, and kennel. Even though I’m a bit thin, my giant head and longer legs make me on the larger side at 47 pounds. I have a short tail that wags like crazy when I’m excited, and I have the softest dark red and white fur. I am looking for a calm place to land where I can play with my toys and hang with my people. I am currently living with a small, neutral, female dog and we get along fine but dogs that are more assertive are not my jam. I am available for foster or adoption. You can see more pictures and videos of me on the rescue’s instagram page @newhopecattledogs or on my foster’s page @itheeledme. Please ask to meet me soon!

Lizzy is a beautiful 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog - a perfect blend of red and blue heeler with both the looks and the smarts to match. She’s a gentle soul who just needs a little time to feel safe and show her true personality. Lizzy can be shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, you’ll see just how sweet she really is. She takes treats softly from your hand and responds well to patience, kindness, and a calm environment. With a little encouragement (and a few tasty treats), she’ll happily come inside, even if she’s still building her confidence. One thing Lizzy already knows? How to make dog friends. She’s playful and social with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a confident canine companion to help show her the ropes. Her crate isn’t her favorite spot, but she handles it like a champ, no barking or fussing, just quietly waiting for her next adventure. Lizzy is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the time she needs to blossom. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle companion who will absolutely steal your heart.

Hello! My name is Adam and I am happy to be in Colorado! On arrival my foster noticed a limp and New Hope Cattle Dog Rescue discovered that I had shrapnel in my front shoulder/leg. I've had surgery to remove the bad stuff and am now on the road to recovery. I would love to find my forever home. I am loyal, smart, and good on leash. My best home will be with cattle dog savy owners - a place where I can relax, play and find the leadership I need to be my best self. If I sound like I might be your guy, please apply today!

Courtesy Listing - Sparky is available for adoption through Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Hi, I'm Sparky! I was technically born to be a working farm dog. I should probably be out there herding cattle, patrolling fences, and doing important ranch business. However, that's not really my scene. Yes, rural life would suit me best but the real way to win my heart is snuggles, reassurance, and all the comforts life has to offer. I think I could do okay in a nice quiet home as long as I have some love and support. Sometimes the world feels a little overwhelming, so I'm looking for calm humans who understand sensitive working dogs and don't mind telling me I'm a good boy approximately 47 times per day. I would also do best with a tight knit circle of friends, I'm not much for hustle and bustle. My ideal home is quiet where I can stretch my legs, sniff important things, and then come inside to recover from all that hard work by napping dramatically on the couch. I am required to be your one and only pet and all family members in my house should be 18 and older. However, I have been enjoying playing with other dogs at the shelter, so casual recreation with some dog pals could be fun. If you have land, patience, snacks, and a couch that needs warming, I am prepared to move in immediately. Come meet me today! **Sparky can be met with until 4:30pm so the Training & Behavior team can provide adoption counseling.

Hey there, I've just arrived at New Hope and my foster family is working hard to write my biography. Check back soon to read more about me or complete an adoption application so that my foster home can set up a meet and greet with you. We just might be the perfect match!

ALAMO AL was a “street dog” for around a year. When they finally caught him he had a whole rotisserie chicken in his mouth! If you are willing to open your heart and home to him, you will see he is sweet and just wants to be loved. He is house trained, sleeps through the night on his bed and is learning how to walk on a leash. Alamo Al has been through rough times though. He is heartworm positive (New Hope covers his treatment) and he will become a tripod. The doctors in Texas thought he had been hit by a car a long time ago and his hip/leg healed in a way that amputation is the best treatment. He’s not using the back leg much now anyways. His foster home has 2 dogs and a backyard and AL enjoys them both. You can see more pictures of AL on the rescue’s instagram page @newhopecattledogs. Please ask to meet this street survivor soon! PS: AL says: If you would be my bodyguard, I can be your long-lost pal. I can call you Betty and Betty, when you call me, you can call me AL. You can call me AL!
