Archie | 7–10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog Mix | The Sweetest “Woo Woo” Gentleman
Meet Archie — a gentle, happy soul who’s part Australian Cattle Dog, part teddy bear. At around 75 pounds, this handsome black pup is full of charm, love, and that irresistible “woo woo” he makes when it’s mealtime or when his people come home. Archie is the perfect blend of relaxed and playful — always up for a walk or a cuddle, and content to nap by your side once the day winds down.
Archie is wonderfully house-trained (no accidents here!) and politely whines to let you know when he needs to go out. He’s crate-trained, though he doesn’t need to be crated when left alone — he’s a respectful houseguest who just needs you to keep snacks out of reach, as he’s been known to help himself to counter goodies!
Walks are one of Archie’s favorite things. He struts with a little pep in his step, stays close on leash, and is easily redirected with treats if a bunny catches his eye. He’s friendly with both people and dogs, and though he had a rough start (including an unfortunate run-in with a neighbor’s dog early on), he’s handled everything with incredible grace. He loves other dogs and would enjoy having a playmate, but he’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only best friend.
Archie adores kids, is friendly with everyone he meets, and settles easily into new routines. He enjoys car rides, belly rubs, stuffie toys, and his Nylabone chews. True to his Cattle Dog mix, he’s smart and very food-motivated — which makes training both easy and fun. He’s currently working on trimming down a few pounds, but he doesn’t let that slow him down.
After all he’s been through, Archie is ready to find a loving home where he can keep enjoying the simple things: walks, naps, affection, and the joy of being part of a family. He’s the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home — loyal, loving, and always ready with a tail wag and that signature “woo woo” of happiness.

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
Please email dogsarrcolorado for more information, as we can't accept calls.
PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: arrcolorado/category/puppy-dog-tips/
Our adoption process is:
1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet.
