Australian Cattle Dog puppies and dogs in Hopkins, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Camilo. I am a local surrender. From the foster: Hi, I'm Camilo and I'd love to tell you a little bit about me! My absolute favorite thing to do is play fetch (except I bring it just a little bit away from you because you have to do some work too). I would much rather go somewhere new and sniff around than go on a walk (I tend to turn around after a block or so). I've got a ton of energy and love to run, jump, and play with my toys (but of course I don't touch anything I am not supposed to because I am a good boy), however, I also know when it is time to be an oversized lap dog and cuddle with you. I love food, but will only take it from someone I know/trust. If I am uncomfortable food is the last thing on my mind. I sleep with my foster mom but before I slept in a kennel and liked that too, I just much prefer the bed where I can snuggle under the blankets. I do great in a kennel for longer periods of time, but my foster family leaves me out and I don't try to get into anything. My kennel is still my safe place so I sometimes chill in there just because. I really love my people and once I trust you I will be your forever protector and best friend if you'll be mine. Camilo does have recurring allergies that will get pretty bad if you don't keep up with them, but they seem to be seasonal and are easily managed if you keep them under control. The biggest thing with Camilo is he has a lot of emotions and isn't easily trusting. He is such a sensitive dog and will mope or get scared quite often (i.e. he seems to think we are poisoning him if we let him try a new food). He doesn't do great with strangers, especially men. It takes a little while for him to warm up to them and when meeting you have to let him approach you rather than walking up to him. This has improved since we picked him up and if we are around it goes better than if we aren't. He really likes his people once he bonds with them and will want to be with you all the time and as much as possible. We think we would do best in a house with a yard as apartments have a lot of strangers, plus he loves to chase a ball and run around. Overall, he is super sweet and loving. He is well behaved and really smart and he does do really well with other dogs and outside in open spaces with anyone. He just needs someone willing to be his support system and that will work with him and his trust issues.

Hi I'm Uno I was born in rescue to Momma Esther! From the foster: Uno is a very sweet cuddly puppy. He was born in rescue to Esther(40lbs.). He is working on potty training and doing well. He sleeps through the night in his own kennel and has no accidents. He gets along with all big and small dogs in our home and is wondering what our cat is. UPDATE: Uno is equal parts rambunctious puppy and sweet cuddle bug rolled into one handsome dude. His house training has been going well with very few accidents- he's on the cusp of mastery. He knows commands 'sit', 'shake' and 'lay down' and is very food motivated. He has enjoyed playing with our resident dog and would likely appreciate living in a home with other furry friends.

Hi! My name is Foggy and I am from Arkansas. From his foster: Foggy is the most cuddly baby who learns super quick and absolutely loves to play! He has already learned where to "go potty" and he is learning to get comfy in his kennel. Foggy would prefer to snooze on your lap or right next to you, he's only 9 weeks (born Jan 12th) so he is still very much a baby who doesn't like being alone for very long. The kennel is okay if the door remains open - he's gone in to relax a few times. But as soon as the door closes he is not happy. We're working on getting him acclimated. We have a 3-year-old rescue dog and a 4-year-old cat. Foggy loves our pup and has been learning how to play with him. He's curious about our cat but mostly I think he's a little unsure about him. I think with time he'd get along great with any friendly animal. He does love to play so maybe not a good fit with anxious or shy animals. We don't have little ones but I expect he'd love their energy as it matches his. We love him already and we hope to find him the perfect home. Please inquire here about fostering! https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster-dogs

I am Cyclone. I am from Arkansas. From his foster: Cyclone is an energetic puppy who loves to play! He is working hard on potty training and crate training.

From his foster: Thunder is a big lug of love. He has been with two other litter mates, and loves watching them play (and "cheer them on) from the sidelines. He wants to get involved and play, but seems to take a while to join in, and is content playing with toys on his own or with his brothers. He is the first one to arrive when called from across the room, and is very good about going potty outside or on the pad we have setup. All three sleep together through the night in their crate, and the only noise is the playful "yips. Thunder is a happy and playful pup looking for a lifetime of adventure with a family all his own!

From their foster: Hail is currently fostered with 2 other siblings and looks so similar to each other, it's hard to tell them apart, except for their personalities! He is the only one fearless enough to attempt to play with my not so tolerant resident dog. He also is good about potty breaks and sleeping through the night and being crated with his siblings. Hail would love a forever home full of adventures with you.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    DOB:  03/22/2017 Requires another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes, sometimes selective with small dogs Okay with cats: No, has prey drive Okay with children under 12 years old: Has done fine with kids 4+ that are respectful  Weight: 49 pounds Requires a fenced yard:  No,  with limited mobility he needs a special helper harness for his back end. A yard would give him the freedom to roam.  Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area Hello, my name is Galleta, and I am an incredibly handsome and happy adult Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix. Sure, I have limited feeling and movement in my hind legs, but I love life just the same! I mean not only do I have a wonderful wheelchair that allows me to run around but I also get to do about 10-15 minutes of physical therapy, stretches, & exercises every single day to help ensure my muscles don’t atrophy. Some people may not like doing a PT regimen, but I don’t mind it at all because it’s more quality time with my people. I would love to find a family that would also bring me to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and even swimming!! Oh my gosh not only is playing fetch in the water is SOOOO much fun but I am an excellent swimmer! I do not like a lot of commotion and I’m a bit shy around new people especially if they get too close, but I love to be with MY people and I’m getting braver every day! I have a high prey drive so cats are probably not a good fit for me; I’m good with kids as long as they don't try and climb on me; and I do well with most other dogs although I can be a bit selective with small dogs. But mostly, I am easy going! I am a super smart boy who’s not only potty, crate, and leash trained but I know a bunch of commands like “down”, “kennel/crate”, “outside”, “wait”, and a release word “ok”.  Also, I have learned how to go up and down stairs! I can climb 3-4 steps of any surface on my own, and a full flight of carpeted stairs on my own if supervised. Sometimes I need a little help to get started if the landing is slippery like vinyl or hardwood.  I am a happy, playful, and very loving boy who loves giving hugs, kisses, & snuggles, playing fetch in a huge yard, going to the dog park, playing with my toys, going for leashed walks, getting lots of belly rubs, and eating treats especially fruits & veggies! YUUUMMM!!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also love to practice Barn Hunt…I may not be able to compete, but I sure do have a great time practicing! Hee, hee!! Anyway, I am an incredibly sweet bundle of love who is simply looking for patience and unconditional love from a committed fur-ever family that not only will NEVER give up on me but who will help me continue my physical therapy routine and keep me safe. I promise that I am totally worth it, and I will love you more than you could EVER imagine! Love & snuggles, Galleta. *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders.  Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    DOB:  09/09/2018 Requires another dog in home: Yes Okay with dogs of all sizes: Best with dogs her size or larger Okay with cats: No Okay with children under 12 years old: No Weight: 36 pounds Requires a fenced yard: No, but would love one to safely play Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Tacoma and I am a happy gal from Texas ready to find my forever home in Minnesota. I am an incredibly beautiful 3 year old Australian Cattle dog mix. I am a bit on the smaller size – so perfect for snuggling into a comfy dog bed! A little about me – I am deaf, but don’t let that stop me and am a very smart girl! I have picked up the routine in the house very quick. I also have a medical issue called “fly biting” – the vet discovered it is likely related to my diet. With a low carb diet and daily Prilosec, it is manageable. It might also be a bit anxiety based and/or habitual so when we meet my foster family can tell you about my routine and triggers. They think I would do best in a calm home. When I came up to Minnesota it was discovered I was heartworm positive. Now that those pesky bugs are gone, I'm a healthy girl, but need year round heartworm pills.   I would love to find a forever home with another dog that can help me stay on a routine and keep me busy. I am not a high energy dog but am a busy girl following my people and the other dogs around the house and yard. I don’t need a fenced yard since I am leash trained but would do best in a fenced yard to run and play in – or someone who can help me burn some energy out on walks, runs or teach me agility skills. I do try and play with the cats in my foster home, so if there are cats in my forever home they would need to be dog savvy and slowing introduced. If I didn’t have my foster sister to romp around and play with, I might be too interested in the cats and I don’t think they would enjoy how much fun I am. I love being around my people and following them around – they are helping me work on my manners like not jumping on people or bark at strangers. The barking doesn’t really bother me since I can’t hear it anyway. I am potty trained and crate trained. I live with a few other dogs and really enjoy the company of one in particular – she is a great buddy and we like to play together. Sometimes I do get into trouble, and it kinda makes my foster dad laugh, although he knows he shouldn’t. He says that I will pick up anything that isn’t nailed down – shoes, socks etc and carry it around – then my foster sister grabs the other end and the circus begins. Play time is great!! I love to be part of the action and would love to find a forever home that will love me unconditionally and help me be the best girl I can be! I know you will love me with all your heart, because I already love you! I hope to meet you soon!

Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Fanny. I am a very beautiful, smart, funny, and all-around loving adult female Cattle Dog who loves to be with my people! My favorite activities include chewing on bones or treats, snoozing, going on leashed walks, exploring my surroundings, rolling around, going on car rides, and snuggling! I do not like loud noises, and I have not met any cats, but I am good with kids and other dogs. In fact, I get super excited when I see other dogs and would enjoy having a companion at my new home along with a fenced yard where we can safely play! I am working hard at, and with a consistent schedule, will hopefully soon master, potty training, but I already know commands like “come” and “kennel/crate” and will even go into my kennel with no issues. That said, I would, of course, rather be with my family!! Anyway, I really am the sweetest girl ever and I am simply looking for a patient furever family who will not only promise to NEVER give up on me but who will always keep me safe and love me unconditionally. If you are looking for an amazing companion who is truly a constant source of light and smiles, then you have just met your soul mate! I promise I will love you more than you could EVER imagine!

Welcome Pinky to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 14-month-old Australian Cattle Dog/Whippet. She weighs 30 pounds and is a medium sized dog. She is good on a leash and super friendly to strangers. She is outgoing and very affectionate. She is active as a young dog would be but not over the top. She is sturdy enough and tall enough to be a good walking or jogging companion. She is friendly enough already to go to Starbucks or some dog friendly place and meet strangers. She is a moderate shedding dog. She is potty trained and good in a crate. She likes car rides and is overall a very sweet dog. She gets along with other dogs of all types. She is vaccinated, healthy and ready for her forever home. She could be with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is currently in Texas at the Rescue. She could be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Cooper is an 8 year old cattle dog and retriever mix and a truly smart and kind dog (weighs 60-65 pounds). He absolutely loves people, and is a big homebody. He also loves playing any sort of fetch! Due to family allergies we are sadly looking for a new home of our beloved dog of 8 years. We are currently in Arizona through May, but are looking for a new home Cooper could join this Summer in Minnesota. Cooper would do well in a home that’s active, likes to do things outdoors, go on walks, etc! He gets along great with adults and kids, so any family dynamic will work!

Adoption Fee: $460, plus taxes Location: Foster Home Meet Gabby, she is a cattle dog mix who is extremely enthusiastic about life! This girl really loves her walks even though she came with very little experience with leash walking skills. In the beginning, she was all over the place and pulling with great gusto. Her foster family has tried a harness as well as a gentle leader and is making lots of progress with her! They are confident that a consistent training schedule will help her master her favorite activity! She had a very long ride up from Texas and at this point does not enjoy riding in the car, however with time and positive reinforcement, she could learn to love sticking her head out the window! Gabby is very smart and she will keep you on your toes. Since her foster family has been together she has learned sit, down, crawl and is working hard on stay and not jumping up. She maybe a little too rambunctious for younger children, but she would love to play with older kids! At this early stage in her training, she gets into mischief sometimes so her foster family is doing an amazing job with kennel training her when they leave the house. She is very playful, she loves her blue ball and is happy to bring it back to you but she is still working on learning to drop the ball after she returns with it. Gabby loves to run, run, and run! She would love you forever if you had a big backyard for her to frolic in! Gabby is a wonderful girl and loves her belly rubs, and any attention from you. She, in return, also loves to hug you! Gabby is about one year old, she is spayed, microchipped, and up to date with her vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Gabby, please submit an application on Carver Scott Humane Society's website.

A portion of Moana's s adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $400.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi! My name is Moana and I am an owner surrender. This special needs beautiful little girl has made wonderful strides in the 2 months that I've had her. She's getting stronger bit by bit. She is personality plus! She loves to snuggle, loves to play and just gets sooo very excited when you talk to her, get down on the floor to play with her and if the big resident dogs are even just near her. She has a feisty side, too, and does not like to be left out of anything!! She is making great progress in potty training and she'll usually vocally alert you-day or night- when she has to go...but know that she'll still have some accidents. At this point, she doesn't have the coordination to be upright to eat on her own so I still hold her securely in my lap to feed her several small meals a day and also to keep her hydrated (I soak her kibble and still give her some soft food. She will not drink straight water so we are still working on that and by soaking her kibble, it flavors the water and she'll drink it to get to the kibble.) She loves all people and dogs. She hasn't had contact with cats yet that I know of. She'll need flat, safe surfaces when she's in her wheels. She does best on carpets or rugs or grass when upright in her harness to practice balance, strength and walking. She'll need to continue strengthening her muscles and working on her balance. At this point, she cannot get up from the floor on her own. Once she's on her side, she can only move around by scratching/shuffling. She does great for car rides. She sleeps nicely in her soft sided kennel at night, only alerting me by whimpering once or twice per night that she has to go out to potty. She is one of the happiest pups that I've ever fostered and will give her forever family sooooo much love!! From the vet team: Hello! I arrived at Secondhand Hounds as part of the Fighter Fund program due to my Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) diagnosis. CH is a condition resulting from inadequate development of the cerebellum which causes lack of balance/coordination, ambulating, head bobbing, tremors, etc. The SHH Vet Team has provided my foster with physical therapy exercises to help gain strength but I will always have this condition. I have a wheel chair and a harness to help with movement but it is also recommended that my future adopter lay down rubber mats to help with my movement. My future adopter should understand my condition and monitor my health with a primary veterinarian. Also, I have an upcoming surgery with an opthamologist due to ablation of eyelashes which will freeze and kill the hair follicles to help prevent regrowth of these abnormal hairs. This surgery and eye recheck appointment will be covered by SHH as long as it is performed at Animal Eye Speciality Center/Secondhand Hounds Vet Center.

I am Keno. I am from Missouri. From the foster: Keno is timid, sweet and docile. He loves friendly dogs and stays near our resident dog like Velcro, but he is very shy with people. He will do best in a home with another friendly, confident dog to help him gain confidence and patient adopters who are willing to help him continue learning to trust. We are working on house training. Keno is an active boy who does well on leash and enjoys his daily walks, as well as running around in a fenced yard. He recently joined our rescue and still requires a harness and leash when outside in the yard, as he will rarely come inside on his own. We are working on making people less scary to him. Keno is 7.5 years old and has a heart murmur. He shows no sign of it slowing him down. He's an energetic boy. Medical Bio: "Hi! I'm Keno, my foster mom said the vet told her I have a heart murmur that they graded 3/6. X-rays did not show any signs of heart failure which is great news. The cardiologist report concluded normal heart size and a good prognosis even with the murmur. My adopters should plan on check ups every 6-12 months to monitor this going forward. Overall I am healthy and clear to be adopted and proceed with the dental procedure that I need in a few months. The vet will use heart safe anesthetic protocols to make sure everything goes smoothly. At my exam I was also treated for an ear infection and started on a weight loss plan which my future family should continue to make sure I can have a well lived and long life! The Bond Between will cover medical expenses for the dental and an upcoming ear recheck to make sure my infection was cleared. I can't wait to meet you and settle into my furever home!"

Hi! My name is Rocky and I am from a shelter in Arkansas. From my foster : Rocky is a super sweet, cuddly, goofy little guy! He loves everyone he meets and he steals hearts very easily! He knows basic commands, but is still working on being more polite. He is very trainable with treats! He does great in his kennel overnight. He is the best little buddy and can't wait to find his furever home!! He loves playing with our resident dog and would do great with another dog in the home. He also is an A+ superstar at doggy daycare! He does need a home that can give him great structure as he has a compulsion for water and tends to urinate a lot. We measure his water intake daily to control his urine output. Frequent scheduled potty breaks through out the day works well for him. From the Vet: Hi! My name is Rocky and I am on the lookout for a special furever home with an active and consistent routine! I have been struggling with a lot of overactive and compulsive need to be drinking water causing increased urination. The Bond Between vets have completed several tests to make sure that I am otherwise healthy particularly in regards to my urine/kidney health. No abnormalities were found on my test results therefore the vet believes this increased thirst and urination is due to a behavioral cause. Environmental enrichment and lots of activities like exercise, play time, training etc. will be crucial to my success in my new home! During one of my appointments the vet drained a mass on my side, however since then the cytology of the mass showed no concern and the mass has not grown in size. My adopters should monitor for this and any other masses that may occur in the future and consult a primary care veterinarian for further guidance on my care.
