My personality

My story

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

When we first spotted this little 5-year-old Shih Tzu, we assumed he was just a neighborhood pup, enjoying a snack from our feral cat colony's feeding station. But as the days turned into weeks, his increasingly matted fur and unkempt appearance told a different story—he was alone, and he needed help. Our hearts broke as we watched him grow more disheveled, and we knew we had to step in. With patience and care, we were able to humanely trap him and bring him to safety.

Once he arrived at the sanctuary, he was gently groomed to remove the painful mats, revealing the sweet soul underneath. Since then, he has been taking his time to decompress, learning that he’s finally safe. He’s a very shy boy, but we know there’s a world of potential in him. To help build his confidence and teach him the joys of being loved and cared for, he’s set to attend a 5-week board and train program.

We’re so excited to see this amazing little guy blossom. For perhaps the first time in his life, he’s on the path to finding a real family—one that will cherish him, keep him safe, and help him thrive. If you’re ready to open your heart to a boy who deserves the world, he’ll be ready and waiting for you. If you think you could be the loving home that Booger deserves, please submit an adoption application through our website at skysanctuaryrescue.org/applications. Once we receive your application, we’ll be happy to answer any questions and set up a meet and greet.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fees vary between $165-$350. That includes all medical vetting, UTD vaccines, spay/neuter, lifetime microchip, an escape proof harness lead and collar & tag. Also, since some our dogs are such a huge flight risk, there may be additional steps needing to happen before the adoption is completed.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of passionate animal advocates that specialize in the humane capture and rescue of stray, fearful and injured animals from the streets of Maricopa County. We also assist pet owners as well as other rescue groups to recover their lost animals. We provide our dogs with a safe place to decompress, learn to trust and receive medical treatment until they are ready to find a forever home. The dogs that we take in are typically more difficult to place due to being fearful and high flight risks. Our animals require special adopters who are patient, diligent and very precautionary in order to keep our "trap dogs" safe. These animals are our passion and we will always do what is best for every animal that crosses our path.

****We do not do out of state adoptions.****
