As I rebuild some of my webpages, the rescue webpage is in need of a major overhaul. This will be simple, bare-bones at this time!
We have a number of rescue people we work with - even tho we may not have someone here at this time, we may know of a cattledog in need of a new home. Feel free to email us!
A place for rescues needing new homes or those dogs that need to be rehomed. Sometimes divorces cause big problems; other times a death in the family or the actual owner's death means that an otherwise loved and safe dog needs to find a new person to call their own. However it happens, rescues are dogs in need of love and their own home once again. This page is dedicated to those in need....if we have anyone here looking for a new home, we'll post the information as quickly as possible!
As of November 2011, we have no rescues available at this time, but may know of one or more cattledogs needing to be re-homed!
If we don't have a rescue in residence at the moment, we may know of one needing to find a new home. You are welcome to email us so that we may send you a standardized questionnaire that will help us place the right dog with you. We do appreciate phone calls, but at certain times of the year here on the farm, well, we just get really busy and are no where near the phone! At least not until 11pm at night most nights in the summer!! So please do email us when you can, and remember that sometimes the new spam filters may send your email to the spam delete box if you don't title your email with something like "Rescue wanted", as an example :-)
Cattledogs are a very long-lived breed! A dog of 6, 7, or 8 years of age is only in the prime of their life, active, and healthy. They often live 12-15 years, and a dog already trained can be a blessing for many people who don't really need to go through training disasters with a puppy. They are ready to go, come with basic manners, and will light up your life with energy and devotion. They take 2 weeks to adapt to their new home but after that, you often will have no idea that they were ver raised anywhere lse but with you - they are a devoted breed and very grateful to the home that loves and takes care of them!
Rescues often only need a loving family who is familiar with the breed, their care, their needs, someone willing to work with them, to give them a forever home. Rescues are spayed or neutered, so they can't accidently or intentionally be bred. They are evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses. They only need the opportunity to become a part of someone's family to show their love. When considering an ACD puppy for home, please also look into your heart to see if perhaps there might be room instead for the many unwanted ACD's that are already out there.
