Meet Zeke! He is an 8-year-old neutered male miniature Australian Shepherd with a great mix of high energy and couch-potato chill.

Untested with cats.​Favorites: Fetch, being outside, and going on walks.​Habits: House trained with occasional accidents.

Story
- Very smart, sweet, playful girl! A little shy around new things but is becoming braver every day - LOVES the adult dogs in her foster home, and her foster family would recommend an older, adult dog sibling in her next home to help her continue developing her confidence - Her perfect world would include cat friends that also want to play with her; her foster cat siblings are not as accommodating! - Has already learned sit, shake, come and lay down; would love a family who can continue engaging her brain as she learns more new skills - Peanut butter is the way to her heart - Really loves shredding enrichment and likes to downsize her foster family's cardboard boxes and newspaper The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 21.4 Age: 0yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
Clyde is a happy, playful boy who believes there's simply way too much fun to be had to sit still for very long! He's always ready for the next wrestling match, a good case of the zoomies, or a toy that needs his immediate attention. Other dogs are definitely Clyde's favorite playmates. He absolutely loves his puppy roommates and is happiest right in the middle of whatever they're doing. Whether they're racing around the yard, wrestling, or investigating something new, you can count on Clyde joining the party. He's also been respectful of the cats in his foster home. Clyde enjoys his people too and gets excited when he sees you—he'll happily engage in a little human-versus-puppy wrestling match! He's just not quite as interested in stopping for pets and cuddles as some of his roommates. Right now, playtime wins over snuggle time, and with so much puppy business on his schedule, who can blame him? As he continues getting more individual attention and bonding with his own family, we think there's still plenty of Clyde's personality waiting to unfold. He loves toys, running around outside, and putting those puppy legs to good use. He's currently working on potty training and learning all the other skills that come with growing into a very good boy. Clyde would love a family that appreciates his playful spirit and will give him the time and space to build his relationship with them naturally. And if there's another playful dog in the family? Clyde would probably consider that a pretty fantastic bonus. Local adoption fee is $350 (in texas) and $650 for out of state adoption fee ( includes transport to your area)

Hi, I'm Truly JuM 🐾, a 2-year-old red/mahogany and white Australian Shepherd with a Saint Bernard in my background! At about 53 pounds, I am kind of. like having a St Bernard without ALL the fur and slobber!!! I'm a medium girl with a striking bicolor coat, and I'm already spayed. I'm affectionate, loyal, and smart, I'm crate trained, and I get along well with children and other dogs 💕. I need an active lifestyle, so I'll be happiest with a family ready to keep up with my adventurous, playful side 🌲. Come meet me and see how cuddly and friendly I can be. I'd love to be your next adventure partner! ❤️ Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $300 (in TX)

Story
Ohhhh Beckham! This silly, wildly lovable, energy-packed boy is searching for a forever family that can keep up with his zest for life! He is a schnoodle (part dog, part energizer bunny) and loves being on the go.We’re pretty sure Beckham may have been a pole vaulter in a past life because this athletic superstar can clear a 4-foot fence like he’s casually playing hopscotch. Beckham is sweet, affectionate, and full of love… but he is also FULL of energy. This boy isn’t looking for a couch potato lifestyle — he’s looking for adventure buddies, playmates, and humans who love being active as much as he does.Doggy daycare? Loved it. Did it tire him out? Well… Beckham apparently considered that the warm-up because he was still ready for two more hours of play afterward. He does well with other dogs and would thrive with a family that can give him both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Walks, adventures, games, training, puzzles — this smart, busy boy wants his brain and body moving.He may not be the “easy button” dog when it comes to energy level, but what you get in return is a goofy, loving, happy boy with a huge heart and a whole lot of life to share.If your idea of fun is making memories, staying active, and having a best friend who is always ready for the next adventure… Beckham might just be your guy.As with all of our adoptables, a meet n greet with all family members (furry and not so furry) is needed to make sure it’s the perfect fit.
