Meet Guinness – Your New Best Friend is Waiting!

Guinness is a gorgeous 7.5-year-old, 75-pound shepherd mix with a heart as big as her paws. After patiently waiting for over a year and a half, she’s still holding out hope that her perfect person is out there—and it just might be you.

Surrendered through no fault of her own, Guinness has proven time and again that she’s an absolute sweetheart. Incredibly affectionate and deeply loyal, she’s happiest simply being by your side. Whether it’s soaking up belly rubs, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or curling up nearby, Guinness lives to love and be loved.

She’s currently carrying a few extra pounds (more to love!), but she’s eager to get back to her girlish figure—and would love a walking buddy to help her along the way. Daily walks and playtime aren’t just great for her health—they’re her favorite part of the day!

Guinness prefers to be the star of the show when it comes to smaller dogs, but with a calm, respectful dog her own size—or larger—she may be open to friendship, given the right introduction.

She would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and showered with the love she so deserves. A family with older, dog-savvy kids (12+) would be ideal—especially those who appreciate the loyalty and strength of a big-hearted companion. While she’s past her puppy antics, she still has plenty of pep for adventures and affection.

After all she’s been through, this amazing girl is simply looking for a soft place to land and a forever family to call her own. Could that be you?

Guinness is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process starts with an adoption application, followed by interview / meet & greet with adopter and their existing pets, agree to a home check for the safety of the adopted pet and when approved, will complete an Adoption Agreement along with adoption fee. Fees vary based on adoptable pet's age, breed, and situation. Fees range from $120-$550. Cash or check is preferred payment.

Go meet their pets

We have adoption events every other Saturday from 11:00-2:00 PM at PetSmart in Scottsdale (10030 N. 90th Street).

Due to the holidays, the every other week schedule might be off beginning in January, so please contact Petsmart at 480-391-1647 to find out whether there is an event prior to making your way there.

More about this rescue

Pathways Home Animal Rescue is an all volunteer / foster based organization dedicated to finding the best homes for abandoned, surrendered, and county shelter animals. We stay small so we can devote our energies and resources to all the animals in our care. When we take in a found or stray animal every effort is made to reunite them with their owners. All animals in our care receive proper veterinary care, are spayed or neutered, all appropriate vaccinations, preventative care, and microchip are administered before they are adopted.
