BENEFITS OF ADOPTING A SENIOR
DOG
Meet Denney, a 50 lb. bundle of fun and
love! He is a 9 year old red-tri male, born August 2002.
Denney is a real Velcro-dog who
bonds strongly with the person he loves. He can be an
active companion, but would happily be a couch potato with
you all day if that's what you want. Denney knows the basic
commands, can shake hands and roll over, but pulls some on
leash. Denney has earned agility titles from CPE and ASCA,
and the “Herding Capabilities Tested” title from AHBA.
Denney is great in the car so traveling with this guy is no
problem. He is crate trained, but would prefer a home where
he can sleep on the bed or at least on a doggy bed in the
same room as he really prefers to be with his person. He is
a gentleman when out and about and always gets great report
cards from the groomer and the vet. Denney’s best traits
are his desire to please and his willingness to cuddle.
Denney is neutered and up to date on all his shots. He does
well with other dogs, but does want to chase cats, so a cat
free home is needed. Denney does best with older kids and
teen-agers or an adult only home would suit him fine as
well. His herding instinct makes bicycles and joggers
appealing, so a fenced yard is needed for him. Denney will
do well with an experienced owner who sets appropriate
boundaries. Denney is in the Albany suburbs. If already
approved contact Pat.
Winnie-the-Blue ARPH # 11370 (Vermont)
Winnie is extraordinary! She is a confident, strong,
playful, sweet, sensitive, smart and very adaptable. Winnie
has been with the same foster family for over a year, and
since have they moved into their new house in the country
Winnie has settled in beautifully! She is relaxed and is
thriving and happy.
Winnie is a large, spayed blue merle female. She shines
with positive attention & she loves just about
everything – taking walks, going for runs, swimming in the
river, playing with toys, being groomed, laying at your
side and she especially loves cuddling…she is a master
snuggler and she is filled with joy and love! Winnie is
currently living with another Aussie and a cat, but she
will do best as the only dog in the home; dog savvy cats
are fine by Winnie.
Winnie is blind… but you would hardly even know that! With
just a bit of direction from her “guide human”, she
navigates her world beautifully! Her sense of sound &
smell are strong and this helps her figure out where &
what things are. She will do best in a calm quiet
environment with a patient yet firm owner. Like most
Aussies Winnie can be protective and can be reactive to
changes in her environment so she needs an owner that is in
charge and will be clear with her about the rules. Slow
introduction to new people is critical. Winnie needs a home
that can give her consistent moderate exercise.
Winnie has a tremendous amount of life energy and love. She
is a blessing beyond belief and she needs a forever home
that will dedicate time to her…and love her…and that
forever home will be lucky to share her joy in life!
If you think you are able to share your home with this
beautiful Aussie, and you have an approved application with
ARPH (including a home visit) please contact
Michelle .

Meet Tanner, a cute and very sweet two
year old red merle with blue eyes. He is up to date on
vaccines and neutered. He's average size, very affectionate
and extremely friendly. Tanner loves riding in the car and
going places, is housebroken, knows sit, down and stay
fairly well, is okay with cats, and is very good with kids
(ages 7, 9 and 11). He doesn’t like be left alone and is
best crated if that becomes necessary. Tanner loves to play
and will play fetch for a long time. He does pull on the
leash, but his foster home is working on that with him.
Tanner would be best with a submissive female or as an only
dog. If you're looking for a great companion, Tanner's your
boy! He is fostered in southeast PA. If already approved
contact Kay.
Tanner thanks his sponsor

SPONSOR ME
Looking for a performance prospect or an
energetic companion? Bobby is an eager, affectionate, 20
month old who shows herding and tracking potential. He
loves people and even greets strangers with great delight.
He is an engaging young dog who loves to interact with
people; dropping toys or bones in your lap, or resting his
head on you and leaning in for petting. He loves to play
tug and fetch, splashes merrily through streams and would
probably enjoy swimming. Bobby is housebroken and crate
trained and rides quietly in the car. He walks well on
leash with a no-pull harness, although he will sometimes
pull or bark when passing cars or other dogs. He knows
basic commands such as sit, stay, down and come.
Bobby gets along well with other dogs in his foster home.
He has a chasing and herding style of play. Bobby was
turned into a shelter due to the illness of his former
owner, but appears not to have had a lot of training or
experiences. He will need an adopter with herding dog
experience who will channel his instincts appropriately,
while continuing his training and exposure to the world.
Bobby needs a home with a fenced yard, no cats and because
he can be so enthusiastic, a home without young children
(under 12). If already approved contact Pat.

Neo is handsome 2 year old black tri
male. Neo came to us from a shelter where his prior owners
had turned him in along with another dog because they were
moving. The shelter staff really liked Neo and were glad to
send him to ARPH. His prior family had children of all ages
and he was supposed to be fine with them but we have not
had a chance to test that in his foster home. Neo is a low
energy aussie that prefers to be indoors and with his
people. He's very sweet and loving and is friendly to
everyone that he meets. He's quiet and low drive though he
isn't friends with the vacuum cleaner. Neo still needs work
in leash walking but he does have a great recall. He is
housebroken and crate trained. Neo does well with young
dogs and with most females but not with adult males so will
only be placed with a home without male dogs. Neo will be a
wonderful family pet and companion for the right family. If
already approved contact Amy.
Isaac is
a 2 year old black tri male. Isaac came to us from a farm
in West Virginia. He had never experienced life inside of a
house or anywhere off of the farm before coming to ARPH.
Because of his sheltered life prior to coming to our foster
home, Isaac has had to learn so many things. Isaac has come
a long way in a short time. This high energy boy absolutely
loves to play ball and will do so any time, any where. He
lives to play ball! He even likes to push basketballs up
and down hills. He does bark and jump when playing ball and
sometimes whines at various other times. He is a fast dog
and loves to run. He does fine with all kinds of dogs
though isn't much into playing with them. He's ok with cats
and will leave them alone when told, but will occasionally
chase them. Isaac has learned to be ok in the house but
does prefer the outdoors when he has that option. He's ok
in the car though he's not fond of it, he will lay in a car
quietly. He is housebroken but has not been crate trained.
Isaac is a bit sound sensitive and worries about loud
noises like gunshots and thunder. Isaac is shy with strange
people but does warm up over time. He loves his people once
he knows them and is very loving. He's a smart and sweet
dog that has come a long way in his time with ARPH. Isaac,
as his foster mom says, is a real keeper for someone who is
prepared for his high energy and who is willing to
understand what he's worked through and continue the work
that has begun in his foster home. If already approved contact
Amy.
