Duncan's Story...
Hi, there! My name is Duncan and I am a 5 year old, silver with tan, labradoodle. I weigh about 60 pounds, but have been gentle with a 3 year old child (I will give lots of kisses, though!) and live with a chihuahua. However, I haven't ever lived around kitties, so not sure how I'd be with them. I am very laid back and just a big lug and I like to slobber after drinking water, but I am very lovable and endearing, too. I have been in the same home since I was a pup, but my owner recently died and there is no one in the family who can adopt me, so these great rescue people promised to find me the perfect new home. I have always used a doggy door and lived around my girlfriend, Kiera, a 6 year old labradoodle. She is looking for a new home, too, but we don't necessarily have to be adopted into the same family, but that would be preferable as we have always lived together. I'm the doggy on the left in the photo and Kiera is on the right. The photo was taken before we were groomed. We will need someone who is patient and will to work with us on our manners as we are used to running on 9 1/2 acres. We also love to swim if you have a pool. I am neutered, current on shots, groomed and will be micro chipped before going home with you. My adoption donation is $200 or $300 if you adopt me with Keira. We will require regular grooming. Please call Tuffie's Animal Rescue at (925) 209-6480 or email Diane@TARescue.com for more information.

Rescue Group Info...

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.
Come Meet Our Pets...
We currently hold Adoption Fairs every other Saturday at Amazon Aquariums and Pets in the shopping center on the southeast corner of 43rd Avenue and Thunderbird between 1pm and 4pm. Call the store at (602) 978-5287 to confirm. We are a foster based group and are also very willing to meet you at other times and places that can be mutually arranged.
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.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Greater Phoenix area and the East Bay of san Francisco, too! We started in northern CA and still make trips to that area and have adopted animals and foster families in both areas!

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Duncan, a Phoenix Labradoodle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labradoodle for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Labradoodle dog from a breeder in Phoenix.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labradoodle breeders who help with Labradoodle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.
