Story
DEAF DOG. Moose is friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. He is potty/crate trained. He was born deaf and knows some signs like “eat”, “sit” and “no”. He loves a lot of attention but unfortunately with work and school we haven’t been able to give it to him lately. I’d like for him to go to a home where he will get the attention he deserves with an owner who has the patience for a deaf dog. He loves other dogs and people but I’m not sure how he acts around cats or smaller kids.

Story
Meet Loki The Sweet, Energetic Pup Ready for His Forever Home! Loki is a lovable, high-energy puppy who will steal your heart with his playful personality and adorable face. He’s always up for a game of fetch, a good run, or any activity that gets him moving! Lokis affectionate and friendly nature makes him a magnet for love, and he thrives on attention and companionship. We adopted Loki after a friend found him dehydrated and in need of a home. While he’s brought so much joy to our lives, his playful energy hasn’t been the best match for our older male dog. So, with heavy hearts, we’re seeking a new home where Loki can thrive with a family that has the time, energy, and love to match his vibrant spirit. If you’re looking for a sweet, active companion who will bring endless fun and love into your life, Loki might be the perfect fit for you. Please reach out to learn more about this wonderful pup!

Story
Hi! I’m Rhea, a loyal and loving dog who’s looking for my forever home where I can be your one and only furry companion. I have a big heart and I’m always ready to shower you with affection and be your best friend. While I prefer to be the only dog in the household, I’m a wonderful companion for someone who can give me the time, attention, and love I deserve. I can be a bit protective and may get jealous at times, but that just shows how much I care. I’ve never been aggressive, just a little cautious when new people or situations arise, but with the right person and some training, I know I can be my best self! I absolutely love being outside, and I’m especially fond of camping and exploring nature. I just need someone who understands my needs, enjoys regular walks, and is committed to helping me become the best dog I can be. In return, you’ll get a fiercely loyal and loving companion who’s ready to make you smile every day! Could that be you?

Story
Meet Penny! She was adopted from a shelter in Colorado and brought to Arizona for my grandma, but her energy level was too much, so we decided to keep her. We’ve had her for four months now. She is sweet and playful, but her age is unclear. The shelter estimated her to be around 2 years old because of missing canine teeth, but no new teeth have grown, so she could be a puppy or just untrained. She’s very active, loves car rides, and chews on outdoor things like sticks and toys (but not anything important). She’s mastered the commands “drop it” and “leave it.” We’re unsure of her breed, but think she may be part heeler or collie because she likes to herd the kids in the yard. She’s crate trained at night, but sometimes sleeps with my daughter. Penny would do best in a home with time, energy, and resources for training, as she’s a fast learner. She needs a lot of activity and would benefit from a yard. She gets along with dogs and cats and would probably enjoy having a dog companion.

Story
Sasha was found wandering our parents neighborhood. She was in need of water and food which we gave her at the edge of the property. She was very sweet and did not want to leave the property. We couldn't take her in because there was already too many dogs at the property. But after a while she just kept coming back and following us around. We noticed she was owned at one point so we attempted to find her owners with local ads and posts on offer up. After a month of no one claiming her we took her in with another dog she had acquainted. We live in a condo and the hardest part for her is not having a backyard. She loves to run and play, which makes the condo hard for her and she becomes restless. She would do well with kids or an older person who would want a companion. She is very loyal. We don't WANT to give her up but it's in her best interest to go somewhere with a backyard or somewhere to be outside.

Odin is the sweetest boy. He’s 1yr old as of July 2024 and is a Pitbull, German Shepherd, Cattle Dog, Doberman mix. He’s high energy and requires enrichment and exercise but is also very cuddly. He’s house broken and lives with a small dog and cat which he likes to chase around.

He has some training but needs an owner that is able to give him more training and structure.
