Story
I'm a lovely senior Mini Aussie / mix with one blue eye. I will come to your home with my best buddy Jerry! We are Ben & Jerry! We need to stay together. I love humans and really enjoy scratches. I am crate trained, know some basic commands, and love to go on walks. I am potty trained, but did have a few accidents when I first came to my foster home, most likely to the change in diet and stress of a new living situation. I am a bit overweight, but my foster is working hard to rectify that much to my disappointment, because I like cookies a lot. I like going for walks and getting scratched and of course getting cookies. I'm not quite as confident as my brother Jerry, but if he's getting attention, I definitely want a piece of the action too. I am fine with other dogs but can be a bit reserved, choosing instead to hang with my brother or other quiet members of my foster-pack. I have been living with several cats and don't pay attention to them at all. I'm not sure if I like kids, but as long a they are respectful, I'm pretty sure I would. I don't play much with toys, but I love to chew on cow hooves. My Adoption Fee includes a training program specific for my needs.

Story
Sparky is an almost 4 yo energetic boy who has a drive to go after chickens and bunnies, which is why he was returned to us, so no access to chickens or bunnies is a must.  He's very affectionate, loves his humans. Good with other dogs (even tiny ones) and kids. He is house trained after getting comfortable in his foster home.  Sparky knows his name, will come when called, will sit for treats, has no resource guarding. He likes being outside, would be happy with a big yard and lots of activity.  If you are interested in adopting, please visit our website and complete an adoption application at www.elpasocountycanine.org/adopt ##1107088##

Story
Grizzly is a Mini American Shepherd (this was not one of the selectable options). He is a purebread dog and was purchased from a breeder in Utah for $800 as a pet dog, not a show dog. He is timid and very friendly; he gets along well with our pit bull mix male dog and our chickens (he loves to chase them but has never hurt them). He is very high-energy and was purchased as a support dog for our teenage daughter. She has become busy with high school activities, and due to my husband and my very demanding work schedules, we do not have the time to devote to training Grizzly. He would do well with someone who wants a dog that needs attention and doesn't mind walking and training him. He is great with children but is very shy. He is mostly house-trained but does still have accidents occasionally.

Story
Addison was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas with her sister and her single puppy. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start! If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2252107##

Story
HOMEOWNERSHIP REQUIRED! Meet TicTac! This perfect little girl is just everything you could ask for in a pup! TicTac is up to date on puppy shots, chipped and spayed. She is 5 months old and about 15 pounds. She is basically every positive adjective you can think of! She's energetic when it's play time, but knows how to stay calm during down time. She's infinitely smart and picks up on your body language instinctively. She loves her person's attention more than anything, but also knows how to entertain yourself if you need a moment or are busy. TicTac has not been exposed to kids or cats, but given how loving she is with everyone she meets, I don't think she'd have any problems with either! She gets along wonderfully with my two big dogs and gets right in there during playtime! TicTac is a little shy in new situations but readily puts her trust in you and gets comfortable pretty quickly. She does have some crate anxiety, but does better every day. It seems she just needs to build trust with her humans, that they will always come back. In the couple weeks she's been with us, she's almost completely picked up on potty training, uses puppy pads like a champ, has learned ‘sit’, and picked up on a few other phrases like ‘let's go potty,’ ‘are you hungry,’ ‘off,’ ‘come here,’ and ‘no.’ The kicker is, she picked up on all that on her own, zero training or instruction! I can only imagine how awesome TicTac could be with some proper training attention. Completing her potty training should be a breeze! She would be a perfect adventure companion but also could do great in a calmer environment with some regular playtime. She just wants to be involved and included in your life, no matter what that looks like. TicTac falls in love quickly and is completely ready to find her forever home! Adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter Rabies Vaccination Distemper / Parvo Vaccines (includes series of 3 for puppies) Bordetella Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration Deworming ##2128002##
