My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gadget! Much like her Chip and Dale namesake, this girl is a fast learner, smart, curious, sweet, athletic, and adventurous.

She attaches strongly to her person: Wants lots of snuggles, will follow you around the house, will stay by your side.

However, she has a strong prey drive and gets protective of her person. She should not be in a house with small dogs or cats, and we are recommending adults only house at this time.

She has strong herding instincts like a border collie or an Australian kelpie. She a tendency to herd even the humans (see cut off when walking), it’s very strong around other dogs. Both breeds are highly intelligent and require mental stimulation as well as physical exercise.

She would do best in a house either as an only dog or with dogs her size or larger, that are confident and calm. She will need training and a confident human handler.

She seems to know that potty is for outside and is getting better at using the dog door, though she doesn’t like being separated from her human and prefers to be joined outside until she feels secure in a forever home. She goes into a kennel easily and does not bark or whine once there.she also rides in the car well.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is as follows: once we find someone interested in one of our pets, we see first thing if they have any others in their home. If the interested adopters have no other animals, we will let them do a home trial to see if the animal is a good fit. Once the family decides it is a good fit, we come over, drop off the paperwork and complete a home check at the same time. Home checks are required for all our adoptions.

More about this rescue

Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide homes for the lost, forgotten, abused, e-listed and unwanted animals in Arizona.

We love saving dogs, we are a very small rescue with only 4 people running it. We save dogs from the e list, strays and we take owner surrenders. We love what we do. We have our animals with us in a foster environment not in boarding or kennels. A foster based environment helps with training, bonding, and for the dog to be socialized.
