Available Dogs

Thank you for your interest in our available dogs. We like to get to know the dogs in our care prior to posting them for adoption so if you do not see the dog you are looking for, feel free to put an interest form in telling us what you are looking for in a forever friend. We love to "match-make" and we may have a dog that is not yet posted that is perfect for you. Once we have an interest form from you, one of our staff will contact you (in 7 - 10 days) to discuss your needs in detail as well as the dog(s) you are interested in.

Please note, if you are unable to see the pictures of our dogs, your browser may not be up to date.

Get ready to rock around the clock at our annual Whine & Cheese Auction event on November 23rd!

Join ABRT at the Norris Penrose Event Center for a night of fun, nostalgia, and community spirit—all for a great cause!

How could you not love a face like mine? I'm a gorgeous boy, but of course, I have my quirks! I'm fearful in new situations, so I'd need help building my confidence. I do need time to warm up when meeting new people. Once I warm up and feel comfortable, I love belly rubs, ear scratches and shoulder pets! I live with 4 cats currently, and I'm fine with them as long as they don't want to cuddle or touch me. I'm more comfortable with cats than with dogs, so I want to be the only dog in the home but don't mind living with felines! I'm crate trained and don't need a ton of exercise, so I'm fine if you aren't home all the time. Once we are friends, we are friends for life, and you'll come to love me for both my quirks and my looks. Because I can be nervous with new things, I'd do best in a home with children 13 years and older.

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) /Mix
Color: Brown/Chocolate - with White
Gender: Male
Age: 7 years
Size: Large

General Socialization Notes:

New things such as the vet or meeting strangers outside of my home aren't my favorite thing, so I'll need to work on my confidence. I tend to bark a bit at other people/dogs on walks, but I'm easily redirected. I get along with cats who respect my space, but would like to be the only dog in the home. I can resource guard toys and food, so that is something we will need to work on together. I am crate-trained and dog-door trained. I really enjoy using my brain and learning new things, so I'd love to train!

Does Henry like other pets?

I'd do best as the only dog in your home, but I get along fine with cats who respect my space. So long as the cats don't want to cuddle or rub on me, I'm fine with them.

Does Henry like children?

Young chldren make me very nervous, so I'd do best in a home with children 13 years or older who can respect my space.

Favorite Toys:

I'm not a huge lover of toys as I'd rather just gather them in a pile and watch over them—I'm not a big sharer of toys with other animals— but I enjoy chasing a ball every now and then! I really like things of the food variety such as stuffed kongs.

Ideal Forever Home:

I can be a bit nervous with new situations, so someone who can help me build my confidence outside of my home would be great! I am used to sleeping in a crate at night and hanging out there when someone isn't home. I have an average energy level. I love walks and could learn to be a running buddy, but I don't need a ton of exercise to be happy. Young children make me nervous, so a home with children 13 years or older would be best. Once I get to know you I'm a great friend who just wants to hang out with you, and I'm looking for someone willing to take the time to get to know me and love me for who I am. Cats are fine!

I want to adopt Henry!
