Timara

Hi… my name is Timara.

Adopted May 4, 2015

There are some dogs that love “canine socializing” just fine, and others that prefer the company of humans to the four-legged kind, and I’d be the latter! I lived with my older mom and dad for two years, but when he had a stroke, mom just wasn’t up to caring for him in addition to giving me the attention and exercise I needed. I got along famously with the grandkids, and loved to play ball and “tug the sock,” so I just know there’s an active family out there for me that enjoys going for long walks (or hikes in the desert — woo woo!), and having a buddy keeping them company ‘round the clock. I’m a striking black and tan shepherd/heeler mix lady who is just ripe for sharing your world!

Shelton

Hi… my name is Shelton.

Adopted March 20, 2015

Come on now! I know there are people out there who appreciate how positively awesome we cattle dogs are! And I’m no exception! I was found at a Shell station (hence my name!) and although I had a few ticks and minor scrapes, otherwise I’m healthy as can be. It’s obvious I belonged to someone, as I know lots of commands, am crate trained, ride great in a car, am friendly with kids and other dogs, and love to cuddle (especially in bed with you at night!). And then there’s the typical ball, Kong, stick, just-about-anything-I-can-fetch heeler side of me that craves exercise and action! They’re guessing I’m just a youngster, so just think of all the fun you’ll have ahead of you with me showing the way!

Munny

Hi… my name is Munny.

Adopted March 17, 2015

I’ll let my foster mom tout my virtues because they’re pretty awesome! “Like the action figure toys that she’s named after, Munny (a 3-month-old heeler/SharPei mix) is perfectly named because she’s a blank slate that her new family can take down multiple paths. She’s super smart and has already mastered the sit and down commands, making her an excellent candidate for obedience school. Her athleticism makes me think she could also make a great agility dog when she gets a few months older, but she’s already got some pretty smooth moves around the furniture and in the yard! She’s crate-trained and sleeps through the night has a good start on housetraining. That’s all pretty impressive for a puppy that still has all her baby teeth! And did I mention she’s cute as a button?”

Isles

Hi… my name is Isles.

Adopted March 22, 2014.

Holly Berry

Hi… my name is Holly Berry.

Adopted February 21, 2015

When the Sahuarita police found me wandering in Rancho Sahuarita, I was wearing a pink collar with a rabies tag but no other ID they could trace. So now’s your chance – grab me quick! My foster mom said that I am perfectly house-trained, walk nicely on a leash (when there are no rabbits or other dogs to check out!), and respond well to “no,” so since I’m eager to please, she’s certain I’ll be easy to train. I get along with other dogs, like riding in a car, and, well, I’m just an all-around real sweetheart! I’m an 18-month-old, 34-pound heeler mix who’s probably done most of her growing, so “what you see in what you get” and it’s a really great package too!

Scout

Hi… my name is Scout.

Adopted November 23, 2014.

You can pick up a lot of good stuff at the Sahuarita Food Bank, but stray dogs aren’t usually on the list! A very nice man found me there and waited around for a while to see if anyone might claim me, but when that didn’t happen, he very kindly took me home. I was only with him for one day, and pretty much stayed in an outdoor room with a door to the yard, but he said I was a “lovely” dog who just seemed to need some training. Well, if you know us cattle dogs, you know that will be a snap for me, and since I’m a friendly 57-pound young boy, and still being pretty much a adolescent, my education should take no time at all.

Arrived October 24, 2014.

Ruby Dee

Adopted January 2, 2014.

RUBY is a smart, calm and sweet 45-pound Heeler mix who needs a new home. She was inherited from a family member by a folks that already had four dogs. They really love her but feel she would be happier where there is not so much competition for time. Ruby pays close attention and knows several commands very well: sit, lay down and go to bed. She is housebroken, crate trained, and very low maintenance. Ruby is a healthy 10-year-old, spayed, microchipped, up to date with shots, and her medical records are available. She gets along well with other dogs, kids of all ages and even some cats.

Leo

Hi… my name is Leo.

Adopted November 22, 2014.

I’m sure my family’s friends meant well when they gave me to them as a present for their new baby, but given that they already had two other dogs, I was probably not “just the perfect gift” for an otherwise-occupied family! But for the family that DOES have the time, well, let me tell you, I’m one terrific fella! I’m a purebred Queensland heeler, just under a year old, and I already know lots of commands, have learned to “wait” before I’m allowed to eat (and then dig in when you say “okay”), am crate- and house-trained, and enjoy going for car rides in my crate. As my mom said, “he just wants to love and be loved and be your loyal companion.” What else is there?

Mia

Hi… my name is Mia

Adopted November 5, 2014.

Lyla

Adopted offsite October 2, 2014.

LYLA is a smart, energetic, eager-to-please 7-month-old Heeler/Mini-Australian Shepherd mix. She is a sweet, people-oriented dog who was rescued about 4 months ago by a family who already had 3 dogs and 2 kids. She has an easy-care merle, black and tan coat, and her tail was docked by original owner. Lyla is a wonderful companion, but needs a new home since she is too energetic for her big dog friend who has recently become disabled. So although she is totally housebroken and crate trained, she has to remain in her outside pen most of the time. Lyla quickly learns new things but is happy to have frequent reinforcement. She knows shake, sit, down, wait, and will twirl around on command. She loves to play fetch and to carry sticks on her twice-a-day walks. She does not care for a choke collar and but does well with a harness. She loves children, being in the rain, and is an excellent car traveler. Cats are unknown. Lyla is healthy, has been spayed, and is up to date on her shots. There is no adoption fee.

If you will welcome Lyla into a loving home as part of your family, please call Ellie between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-396-4243.
