My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ASHER THE CATTLE DOG WANTS TO BE YOUR ONE AND ONLY.

Looking for a devoted companion with smarts, sweetness, and a whole lot of personality? Meet Asher, a two-year-old cattle dog who's ready to be your best friend, cuddle buddy, and fetch partner all rolled into one!

Asher is a snuggle pro who loves burying his head in your arms during the day and curling up close at night. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or tossing a ball, he’s right there by your side, always eager to please.

Asher’s Journey:
This resilient boy came to the East Valley Shelter as a stray with a neck wound, likely from a past scuffle with another dog. Thankfully, he’s fully healed and now dreams of finding his *FURever* home with a loving, experienced cattle dog owner.

What Asher Needs:
Cattle dogs like Asher are incredibly loyal and thrive in homes where they can bond deeply with their people. Asher would do best as the only animal in a home without children, where he can shine as your one-and-only companion. He’s happiest with a yard where he can channel his natural instincts to “work” and explore.

Apartment life isn’t the right fit for Asher, as he’s uncomfortable around other dogs and might find frequent leash walks in a busy neighborhood stressful. A home with even a small yard will give him the space and structure he needs to succeed, as recommended by the certified professional dog trainer working with him.

Why You’ll Love Asher:
This “working dog” thrives on activity and purpose. He’s energetic and passionate about his toys, but he also finds simple joy in being by your side. Whether you’re throwing the ball for an epic game of fetch or just hanging out, Asher’s loyalty and love will make every moment brighter.

If you’re ready to give Asher the structured, loving home he needs, he’s ready to reward you with endless devotion and fun. Could you be the one to make his tail wag forever?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1) View pets online

2) Submit application for the pet of your choice. FYI: The application process is not meant to be an invasion of privacy but a tool to help us find out if one of our pets would fit happily into your home and lifestyle. We spend a lot of time and funds to get to know our dogs and cats and your application helps set both you and them up for a successful adoption. CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION.

3) Meet the dog or cat: By appointment only. If your application is approved, you will be contacted to arrange to meet the pet at a convenient time. We ask that everyone who will be living with the pet attend the meeting. Also, if you have an existing dog, for a dog we might ask that you bring him/her along for an introduction.

4) Home check: While a home visit is required prior to final placement, it does not guarantee adoption. We like to see where our pets will be living to make sure that they will be in a safe and secure environment. Often we can help with unforeseen health risks and help secure yards and fences that first time owners might miss.

5) Adoption contract: The adoption contract is a binding agreement between the adopter and our rescue group. If, for any reason, the adoption of one of our pets DOES NOT work out, you MUST return the animal to The Rescue Train. We are always here for our animals, no matter what.

6) Tax deductible donation. There is a minimum tax deductible donation of $250 per dog and $125 per cat. Each pet is spayed/neutered, vaccinated*, and microchipped. In most cases, we have already spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on vet bills, boarding and training for each pet. The donation helps us recoup a small fraction of that cost.

*In the case of puppies and kittens, additional rounds of shots might be required.

Many dogs that come to us need training. We are one of the few groups that obedience train the majority of our rescue dogs. Our intensive training program would cost the average pet owner hundreds of dollars. Part of our $250 dog adoption agreement, for dogs who require training, is that their adoptive parents have a mandatory free private training session before the dog can go home.

7) Delivery of your new family member: We come with education and helpful hints to help things go smoothly and take the guess work out of what to expect when bringing your new pet home. Each pet has a team of people behind him/her and we are here to be a support system if you should need us.
