PAISLEY needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping her get a new start?
YES, WE’RE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR PAISLEY.
**
Our dogs are placed in the Phoenix metro area, for proximity to our rescue (home checks, follow up visits, visit to finalize adoption) and for access to our veterinarian. Sorry, no exceptions. **
Adoption begins with a Foster-To-Adopt period.

Paisley is *extremely* intelligent, and needs active, Heeler-savvy humans and another active, playful same-size or larger dog in the home. She loves to run and play, and needs a large fenced yard. We think she could flourish in a ranch/hobby farm environment. She appears to be a “Texas Heeler” (Cattledog mixed with Australian Shepherd) and has tremendous smarts and endurance.
Paisley requires an adults-only home. She has very definite preferences in humans, and she will appreciate smart, kind, playful guardians and dogs her size or larger. She will NOT do well in a home where there are frequent human visitors. She requires slow and repeated introductions to new humans before she can trust them. Prey drive and the tendency to “herd” makes her a better candidate for larger animals - no cats or small dogs, please.
If you believe you're a possible match for Paisley PLEASE complete an adoption application! Please describe your experience raising and training Heelers, and any experience you may have with the above-mentioned dog sports! Thank you!
We encourage you to register on our site and "Favorite" the dog(s) that interest you, so that you will be notified when bio, photos, or status are updated.
Discussion about a dog - including scheduling of a home check or other dialogue - cannot occur until we have received your completed adoption application. NO EXCEPTIONS. Thank you!
