Learn more about Remi

Remi

Hello! My name is Remi and I am from Clovis, NM. I am a heeler/catahoula mix and I was found in a Walmart parking lot. No one ever claimed me. I am settling into my Colorado foster home and seem to be house trained and I am sleeping through the night. I am a very kind and beautiful girl and I just want to be near my people. I would probably do well going to the office or shop with my new person. I have been kind with the kids I have met. I have not been cat tested but I ignored the cat in my finder’s home. I am very observant as to what is going on outside and I ride well in the car. Please fill out an application to meet me.

Courtesy Listing - Luna

** Courtesy Listing for Luna through Riverdale Animal Shelter ** Luna is a sweet dog currently under the care of Riverdale Animal Shelter in Adams County. She was surrendered when her owner could no longer afford her care. She’s been managing Addison’s disease since her diagnosis in December 2021 and is currently stable on her prescribed prednisone. Overall, she presents bright, alert, and well hydrated, with normal cardiac and respiratory exams and no noted neurologic concerns. Her skin and coat are healthy, she moves well with no lameness, and her abdomen is soft and non-painful. Her oral exam shows mild tartar and gingivitis, but her 104 tooth has a complicated crown fracture that will require extraction. She’s estimated to be around 6 years old and is spayed. Behaviorally, she’s incredibly sweet and affectionate with people. Very smart and knows basic commands. During her dog testing here, she made good choices, though she tends to be avoidant. Because of that, she may do best as the only dog in the home initially until she’s had more training and support. If interested in adopting Luna, please out reach out to Megan Wentzlaff at mwentzlaff@adamscountyco.gov

Arlo aka Biscuit (1 year, 6 months)

Arlo aka Biscuit

Attention all Colorado runners, hikers, and dog sports enthusiasts! My name is Arlo aka Biscuit and I am part Olympic athlete and part professional human cuddler. I’m still a puppy at 1.5 years old and have a ton of energy to do all my favorite things: play fetch, run perfectly next to my human, go on long adventurous hikes, and most importantly curl up on (not just next to) my favorite people. I do enjoy playing and wrestling with familiar dogs, but I’m quite scared of meeting new dogs and can be selective. I’ve worked so hard on my reactivity in professional training that I can walk perfectly in heel past unfamiliar dogs and I have great recall for off-leash fetch. Ever since my doggie sister got injured, we haven’t been getting along, so I think I would do best as the only dog in the home. I love ALL people and kids, but have strong herding instincts that would need to be watched with younger kids. I’m fully house trained, I love my crate, and I love to work for my favorite people.

Meech (10 months)

Learn more about Meech

Meech

Meet Sweet, Gentle Meech! This handsome 10-month-old is a sweet, gentle soul who is looking for someone to help him come out of his shell. He has a beautiful red-and-blue coat, with blue being his predominant color, and the sweetest personality to match. He’s a medium-energy, pretty chill guy who enjoys a calm environment and taking things at his own pace. He can be shy and a little uncertain in new situations, but once he feels safe, his gentle personality really starts to shine. When he’s feeling overwhelmed, his kennel is his safe space where he can relax and decompress. He gets along well with other dogs, especially calmer, more laid-back pups. He tends to prefer hanging out with the older, chill dog rather than the young, rambunctious one. He'd likely thrive with a patient canine companion who respects his quieter nature. And if you really want to win his heart? Belly rubs and treats! He is very treat-motivated, which makes building his confidence and working on training a lot of fun. He’s looking for a patient person or family who will give him the time and reassurance he needs to feel comfortable. In return, you’ll get a gentle, loving, low-key companion who just wants to feel safe and loved. He may be shy at first, but underneath that quiet exterior is a very sweet boy just waiting to trust his person.

Ella - Courtesy List

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

Courtesy Listing - Sonar

Courtesy Listing - Sonar's Story - This sweet 5-year-old cattle dog is ready to find a family who will love her exactly as she is. Sonar is a gentle girl who happens to be hard of hearing, but that doesn’t stop her from being an amazing companion. She’s potty trained, loves people of all ages, and enjoys spending time with her humans. Sonar doesn’t seem to mind other dogs and may do well with a canine friend with slow, thoughtful introductions. Because she’s food protective, she’ll need to be fed separately from other animals to help her feel comfortable and successful. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a big heart, Sonar may be the perfect match. She is available for adoption in Oklahoma City, OK through The Village Animal Welfare. Contact them at (405) 751-9518 or animalwelfare@thevillageok.gov. Come meet this special girl and give her the chance to show you how wonderful she is!

Winona aka Sunny (2 years, 4 months)

Learn more about Winona aka Sunny

Winona aka Sunny

Sunny is a sweet, loyal Cattle Dog/Great Pyrenees mix who forms deep bonds with her people once she feels safe. She walks calmly on a leash, snuggles on the sofa, and lights up on hikes. Give her attention and she'll cuddle right in, roll over, and ask for more. Sunny has grown up with a young child (5 and under) and has been endlessly patient through all the everyday chaos that comes with a kid in the house. She currently lives with an older small dog and plays joyfully with dogs she's properly introduced to — big or small — though she's selective about new dogs and needs slow, careful introductions. She hasn't been around cats, so we're not sure how she'd do there. Sunny is not yet confident in the world. She's fearful of new people and can be protective of her household once she settles in, so she needs an adopter experienced in building confidence and neutrality with nervous dogs. The right home will have limited visitors and be able to give her space from triggers like dogs barking behind fences or sudden surprises from behind while she builds trust. She's highly food motivated and has done both group and one-on-one training, which will help her new family continue her progress. If you're patient, experienced, and looking for a devoted, deeply loving companion, Sunny could be your perfect match.

Nala - COURTESY LISTING (5 years)

Learn more about Nala - COURTESY LISTING

Nala - COURTESY LISTING

Nala is a 5-year-old, 48-pound red heeler. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. She is house-, leash-, and crate-trained and walks well on a leash. She is an incredibly sweet and friendly girl who absolutely loves people and is great with kids. She does well with other dogs, but she plays very rough and would not be a good fit with small dogs. Nala is a true heeler with lots of energy! She loves to run and play, and her absolute favorite thing is playing with her herding ball. Her ideal home would be somewhere she can get plenty of exercise and have room to run. Once she’s burned off her energy, she loves nothing more than curling up on the couch and cuddling with her people. Nala does have a seizure disorder that is very well managed with twice-daily medication. Her new family will need to be committed to keeping her on her medication consistently. Nala is located in Lewisville, TX. There is a small $50 rehoming fee, and I will be asking potential adopters questions to make sure she goes to a safe, loving, permanent home. Nala is located in Lewisville, Texas, but her current owner is able to help transport Nala to her new forever home! Contact taylorcoile14@gmail.com if you are interested in hearing more about Nala.

Phantom (3 years, 7 months)

Learn more about Phantom

Phantom

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 will most likely need a strong, experienced dog owner for adventures outside the house and 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! PS: I like to watch TV reruns of Frasier because of the little dog Eddie and I like the World Cup because of the soccer ball.

Amore (3 months)

Learn more about Amore

Amore

Hi, I'm Amore! I am a big dog personality in a small dog body. I am assertive, hard-headed, smart, high-energy, loving, and social. I know what I want and will try anything to get it, but I am very smart and do respond to correction and redirection with alternatives. I need a person(s) who are patient, consistent, and firm to help me learn expectations and boundaries. I have a ton of energy! I love walks and do well on a leash, especially when I am out with my pack. My furry foster brothers are my best friends, and even though they are more than 4 times my size, I'm not afraid to wrestle and antagonize them into a game of chase. I can be demanding for play and quite mouthy so I would do well with a sibling who is confident and secure to put up with my puppy energy and correct me when I need it. I probably wouldn't do well in a home with another asserive female. I love all of the people I my foster family and wiggle my whole body everytime I see any of them come into a room. But I am very mouthy so would do best in a family with older children who can deal with my energy and help me learn boundaries. I am very brave and a fast learner and I think I would love an active family who can include me in their outdoor adventures. I do eventually calm down to snuggle, but I am not a lap dog or a chill-on-the-couch all day. I do okay in a crate for short times but mostly just want to be with my people and pack all the time. I do sleep in my crate all night without fuss, but am also happy to snuggle up at your feet in bed at the end of a long day. I'm a puppy so we are working on potty training, but I am getting it! I even use the doggy door sometimes even though my legs don't even reach the ground! If you are looking for a spunky, loyal companion to share adventures with, I'm your gal!

Cope (1 year, 7 months)

Learn more about Cope

Cope

Hi, I'm Cope. Someone needs to adopt me soon because being called Copey-Schmopey by for foster family is getting a little old. I love them and they love me, but Cope is just fine. I am a great dog, but I am a real cattle dog....with real cattle dogs traits. For example, I love to herd. And I cannot really tell the difference between humans and cows. If you don't tell me where to walk, I will sneak behind you and try to nip your heels. That also translates to I should not be in a family with kids. I can also be protective so I need someone who will be the leader and let me know that protecting is not my job. I love to play with toys and just hang out chewing on a bone....or just napping in the backyard. I have lots of energy but I also love my crate and am good at just chilling. Oh, and I love treats, both in the form of edible treats and body rubs....not belly rubs, body rubs! I am physically strong but I can also be gentle. I also kind of play fetch....your throw, I get it, I bring it back to you, and then I make you take it from me. Fill out an adoption application to meet me.

Fiji (1 year, 2 months)

Learn more about Fiji

Fiji

Fiji is a playful, affectionate puppy with the perfect balance of zoomies and cozy naps. She’s a total water baby who lights up around pools, sprinklers, and puddles, and she’s looking for an active adventure partner to match her energy. She loves exploring the yard and spending time with other dogs. She’s still building confidence with new people, but her sweet personality shines through once she feels safe—another friendly dog can help her come out of her shell, though it’s not required. Like many puppies, Fiji loves to chew, so plenty of toys and bones are a must (and don’t be surprised if she buries her favorite squeaky ones!). Fiji is crate and house trained, and would do well in a working home as long as her bonded person can give her active time morning and evening. No alpha traits, no prey drive—though like many pups, she can get a bit instigating when she hasn’t had enough exercise, so a good outlet keeps her at her best. Once she bonds with her forever family, Fiji will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion.

Alamo AL (7 years, 6 months)

Learn more about Alamo AL

Alamo AL

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!

Dolly (3 years, 2 months)

Learn more about Dolly

Dolly

Dolly is a little 26 lb. dynamo. She came to New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue with her five beautiful puppies who just went to their forever homes. It is now time for Dolly to find her spot! As an adopter, we you need to earn her trust; but once you do, she will melt. She loves belly rubs and to be brushed. She does not like cats! She loves to go on walks but is not real keen on seeing other dogs on walks. We are working on that. Right now, she thinks that protecting you is her job but she is learning that her job is to be a dog! She takes correction well. Dolly is house-trained, crate-trained, and has impeccable house manners. She would do best in a home in the country where there are fewer stimuli until she gets the hang of being a dog. She will take some patience but you will be rewarded greatly! Fill out an application if you would like to meet her.
