Story
I`m Auggie, a 6-year-old Australian cattle dog (red heeler) that came to Animal Ark recently when life with a family that included two adolescents became a little much for me. Here`s what the AKC says about my breed: ACDs have immense work drive and excel at controlling and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners. ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, tenacious, ever alert, and may be wary of strangers. If an ACD isn`t challenged, it easily becomes bored and may get into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with these versatile dogs in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically fit. It has been an adjustment coming into a shelter after living with my family for six years, and staff here are just getting to know me. If a running partner with the work ethic of a herder sounds like an adventure you are ready for, submit an adoption application to be scheduled for a meet and greet.

Story
I’m Buddy, a mixed-breed puppy with a whole lot of heart and a whole lot of potential. I came to Animal Ark after my former family realized they didn’t have enough time or space for a growing dog, but they made sure we knew how much they cared about me. Now I’m here, safe, loved, and ready for a fresh start. I was originally born on a farm, and my doggie parents were a fun blend of Blue Heeler, Australian Shepherd, and Mini Goldendoodle. My mom was about 15–20 pounds and my dad around 30, and I’m already 20 pounds myself—so I’m expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. My family described me as friendly, playful, and active… in other words, a classic energetic puppy who’s eager to explore the world. I haven’t lived with cats before, and with my herding DNA, I might be tempted to “organize” them a little too enthusiastically. I was cautious and reserved around other dogs at first, but I’m already making doggie friends here at the shelter. I’ve met older children and was happy, gentle, and playful with them. If your family is looking for a companion who will love you unconditionally, grow alongside you, and thrive with exercise and engagement, I’d be thrilled to meet you. Submit an adoption application to be contacted for a meet and greet—I can’t wait to start my next chapter.

Story
Hazel is a sweet athletic young lady with a lot of love to give. Hazel was an abandoned dog in a remote rural area. She took up residence under the stairs of a dog loving Elder. The Elder asked if we could take the little dog into rescue as the pooch was homeless, pregnant and it was very cold. The Good Samaritan has stayed in touch with PUP, making regular inquiries about how she is getting along. Very well, thank you. Hazel is a beautiful girl who has been a devoted mommy and is now hoping for her own forever home. She is doing a great job meeting new people but needs a bit of time to warm up to a new dog. We had DNA testing done on one pup from her litter. Based on that testing we got Hazel’s DNA. She is Chihuahua, Siberian Husky, Australian Cattle dog, and German Shepherd. She weighs about 30# and is remarkably agile. If someone is looking for a dog to train in agility, Hazel might be your pooch. Check out the video linked at the end of the bio. If given the option she would love to share the bed with her person. She appropriately alerts to 'stranger danger'. One night she unexpectedly started barking. Morning revealed the foster's truck had been invaded/gone through. Hazel has been vet checked, is vaccinated spayed, and de-wormed. When she was spapyed we found a buckshot pellet suggesting a story we will never hear but can imagine. If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a dog, please e-mail us at jw@ansrmn.org . Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a dog. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.

Story
Hi! I'm Ozzie... and I think you're looking for me. I'm about six months old, I'm a Blue Heeler puppy, and I've been told I'm the laid-back one in the family. Don't get me wrong—I still love to play, explore, and have puppy fun, but compared to my brother Morty, I'm a little more of the "let's see how this goes" kind of guy. Think of me as the cool customer. My life didn't start out the way every puppy dreams it will. My brother, two adult female dogs, and I were abandoned at a trailer park. No family. No warm bed. No one making sure we had food or water. The four of us stuck together and did our best to survive while waiting for someone to notice we needed help. Thankfully, someone did. Now that I'm safe, my true personality is shining through. I'm discovering how wonderful people can be, and I have to say...I like this new life a whole lot better! Being a Red Heeler means I come with some pretty awesome features. I'm smart (sometimes a little too smart), I love learning, and I enjoy having things to do. Whether it's figuring out a puzzle toy, learning a new command, going for walks, or hanging out with my people, I'm happiest when I'm included. Heelers are famous for being loyal, and I plan to take that job very seriously. Even though I'm still a puppy, I already know that life's greatest adventures are meant to be shared. I'm looking for someone who'll teach me new things, laugh at my puppy antics, and give me the love I've been missing. In return, I'll be your faithful companion through every walk, road trip, lazy afternoon, and exciting adventure. I may be the calmer brother, but don't mistake that for boring. I still have plenty of puppy energy, a playful streak, and a goofy side that comes out when I'm comfortable. I just happen to believe life is best enjoyed with a little less chaos and a little more tail wagging. I've already survived the hardest part of my story. Now all I need is the best part... A family to call my own. Could that family be yours? I promise I'll spend the rest of my life proving you made the right choice. Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
PigletDo yourself a favor and come meet this slightly shy, 100% adorable good boy.  He was born 9.5.25 and is a Kelpie/Border Collie mix with beautiful markings, especially on his nose. Because he's a black dog, he's being overlooked by adopters so we're reducing his adoption fee to $250. Piglet is kennel trained and good with other dogs but he'd really love to sit on your lap and soak up some love!  He has a very sweet demeanor and playful personality.  He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and is microchipped!To meet Piglet, apply at emotionalrescuedogs.org! ##2750808##

Story
If you've been thinking about adopting a Special Needs dogs that thinks he's just like everyone else (but maybe a little better), Sven is the dog you've been looking for.  Found in a plastic bag as a young puppy, we're not sure of Sven has a little brain damage or very mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia.  He has a little bumbly swagger in his step, is blind in one eye and has an overbite - and all these things just somehow add to his charm.  He starts off a bit shy but before long will return all your hugs and greet you with a smile.   What special care does he require?  He needs to live with a dog friend and the best people in the world.  He needs a fenced yard so he isn't restrained by a tether but instead, free to explore his world.   Sven is kennel trained, potty trained, good with dogs and gentle.  The hard part of his life is over and he deserves blue skies and smooth sailing.  He's only about 17 pound.  His adoption fee is $500.  Apply at emotionalrescuedogs.org.  ##2810700##
