Levi's Story...
Levi is an approximately six month old boy and quite graceful for still being a wiggly puppy; he shows signs that he would become a great running buddy with training and positive encouragement when he grows up. He is a fast-learner who's favorite phrase to hear is simply, "Good boy, Levi!" To which he positively wiggles from head to toe when he does something right. He plays well with his foster sister, big games of chase and herd and romping around the yard together. But, his favorite game is to squeeeeeeeaaaaak his favorite squeaky toy. Levi chases balls and frisbees, but fetching does not come naturally, although his foster family is trying to show him how much fun it can be. He came completely house-trained, and crate-trained (although he'd much prefer to be underfoot at all times than in his crate). He's had lots of visitors as his foster mom is renovating, so he has proven a handsome ambassador of the house with the electricians and other contractors who have come and gone. Quite a charmer! He will make a wonderful, devoted lifelong companion for someone who is ready for an adolescent lovebug. It is unknown if he would be good with cats, but the neighbor's bunny was veeery interesting (...for lunch). He seems interested in the neighborhood children without fear. Everyone is Levi's friend. Once he winds down his puppy energy, Levi is happy curled up under the coffee table as long as foster mom is sitting still. He follows her around devotedly, learning how to be a companion dog and trying to figure out how to get her to say, "Good boy, Levi!" as much as possible.

Rescue Group Info...

About Our Rescue Group...
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.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
We adopt to families all over the world. We only intake dogs from Arizona.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Levi, a Scottsdale Australian Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Scottsdale.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.
