Story
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.

Bruce

Australian Kelpie Cattle Dog

Male, Young
Glendale, AZ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Introducing Bruce, this 1 year old Kelpie mix is a lively and friendly boy who’s full of energy! Bruce weighs 40 pounds. He’s up to date on vaccinations, rabies, and is neutered. This playful pup loves to engage in games of fetch and enjoys splashing around in water. Bruce is very friendly towards adults and children, but due to his high energy level, he would do best in a home with no other dogs and children over 10 years old. Bruce is still learning his leash manners but is picking it up very quickly. Bruce is house-trained and loves spending time outdoors. He’s looking for a loving family to share his adventures with! Bruce is not appropriate for an apartment or condo. He does need a securely fenced backyard. Bruce's adoption fee of $350 helps offset the cost of medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think Bruce could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:    https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application .    *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.  December 12, 2025, 10:05 am
