Duke's Story...
Hi, there! I'm Duke, a 75 pound, 6 year old chocolate lab who will melt your heart. I was kicked by a horse two years ago and my owners did not get vet care for me, so now I need surgery. Right now I only have 50% miovement in my hip joint as it is frozen and very painful. But Tuffie's Animal Rescue is collecting donations to get my hip fixed. It will cost $2000, but then it will be wonderful and will never cause me any more trouble. My other hip joint is excellent, so I am not prone to hip dysplasia as many large dogs can be. Right now I am being fostered in Tempe in a home with a cat and am very good with her. I also like other dogs. I am neutered, current on shots and will be micro chipped before going home with you. My adoption fee is only $200, which includes the surgery.

About Our Rescue Group...
We are a small, non-profit group of dedicated volunteers who rescue dogs and cats that are going to be euthanized usually for lack of space. We have taken many animals that have been considered "unadoptable" and have found them wonderful homes with families that couldn't imagine life without them! Our motto is "saving one pet won't change the world, but how the world will change for that one pet" and the person or family that adopts it. We operate through foster families. We received our 501(c)3 status in 2005, beginning in Pleasanton, CA and then moving to Phoenix, AZ. We have animals fostered in both places, so please don't let distance stop you form inquiring about a pet that interests you. One of our foster "moms" has been rescuing horses, so we hope to be listing those for adoption soon, too. If you are interested in volunteering or donating money or other items, please don't hesitate to call or email. We will always try to accomadate you or point you in the right direction.

Our Adoption Process...
Generally adoption donations are $250 for small dogs and puppies and $200 for bigger dogs, kittens are $100 and cats are $75. There are exceptions and each pet's adoption donation is usually listed in its bio. Our pets are usually fixed, current on shots and micro chipped. We have a pre-adoption form for you to fill out and often do home visits. We strive to make it the perfect match, but we ALWAYS want the pet returned if it doesn't work out. Adoption donations are refunded within the first two weeks minus $50, if you need to return your pet.
