Arizona K-9 Rescue

Arizona K-9 Rescue specializes in Military Working Dog MWD breeds. Primarily German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.

AZK9 offers the Canine Good Citizen "Boot Camp." This program combines the very best elements of traditional rescue, professional training, home boarding and truly exceptional care. Program dogs are trained in a home environment and earn the prestigious AKC "Canine Good Citizen" title. An official testament of excellent behavior and temperament. No rescue does more for their dogs.

AZK9 alumni have gone on to become multiple title holders, sport dogs, service dogs, and of course cherished pets and protectors.

By adopting from “AZK9, you become our partner in the rescue. Adopting a rescue dog saves two lives. The K-9 friend that you adopted and another that can be brought in by the space created. Open your heart and adopt today.

Please consider a rescue dog and give these wonderful animals a second chance.

Adoption and training fees offset the extremely high cost of veterinary care, food, boarding and numerous other expenses.
