Pistol - Adoption Pending's Story...
Hi there my friends! My name is Pistol and I'm a 1 1/2 year old “Cattle Jack” (Jack Russell/Cattle dog mix). My foster mom says I live up to my name! Here is a little about me: I was rescued from Maricopa County East side shelter, I was a stray and my former owners never came and got me, I was there for a long time hoping I would find a nice family to play with but that didn't happen. So New Hope Cattle Dog Rescue saved me. I'm a very active little guy and I love to play ball and Frisbee; I also love to snuggle with you. I would love to go to a family that would keep me busy because I have a bunch of energy. I would love for you to teach me new things because I'm very smart and pick up on things really fast. I love playing with other dogs, but I wouldn't do well with cats because they are too much fun. I would probably do better with older kids. I love to talk to people when I meet them, I know how to sit, wait and come and down. And when I play ball I will bring it back and throw it at you to throw again! I am housebroken, neutered, chipped, and up to date on my shots. Oh and I only weight 23 1/2 pounds. If you’re looking for a jogging or hiking partner, or want to get into fly ball or even Frisbee, I’d love to be a part of that! If you would like to meet me please let New Hope Cattle dog rescue know. Thank you for reading my story I can't wait to meet you....

New Hope Cattle Dogs' mission is helping discarded, stray and unwanted Australian Cattle Dogs (ACD's) that need a second chance at finding a forever home and providing education and training to the public.
We believe that there is a special place out there for all unwanted and abandoned ACD's. It is our duty to match your lifestyle with the dog's personality for a "perfect" fit. It is important to us to place the dog that is right for you and your family in your home. Therefore, there are strict guidelines and qualifications that all potential adoptive homes must meet before we place a dog in their home.
Come Meet Our Pets...
Before you can meet an adoptable dog, an adoption application (http://www.nhcdarizona.com/forms/adopt.pdf) must be filled out and a home check must be completed. Then an appointment will be made between potential adopter and our foster home to meet the dogs.

Our Adoption Process...
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date with all age appropriate vaccinations, had fecal exam, been dewormed, are microchipped and vet checked. We have recently started doing heartworm tests and starting all our dogs on heartworm preventative. We do not have the funds to do additional screening tests for Erlichia or Valley Fever unless the dog is showing signs of illness. If they are showing signs, we will then screen the dogs for these illnesses and treat appropriately. The adoption fee is $150-$250 (depending on the dog, with most dogs being closer to $200) and that includes all vetting previously mentioned. Please understand that this fee barely covers our medical expenses, shelter fees and does not begin to cover housing and feeding. So if you are able, an additional monetary donation is appreciated. Remember that we are a non-profit rescue group.
(Example Cost Break down for female puppy under one year old: Spay-$120-$165, 3 booster vaccinations (DHPP-C)-$15, Rabies shot-$15, Microchip and Registration of Microchip-$35, deworming medication-$5, fecal exam-$28, brief vet exam-$27: Total cost-$245.00) This example is typical for the majority of dogs we take in. If you add antibiotics (which most of our dogs will require), food, additional screening tests, fees to get the dog out of the shelter and gas to and from appointments, our costs are well over $400 per dog.
