My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** ARIZONA ONLY ** PHOENIX METRO AREA * * Gus is estimated to be between 4-5 years old, and paperwork we received for him indicates he's a yorkie. That said, his ideal weight is a little over 20 pounds (he's not tiny like most yorkies). His personality is huge and full of love. Gus's personality is a little perky and playful, but he'd enjoy a more mild household rather than one with active kids. Older children, maybe in their teens, who understand to be gentle in nature would be fine for Gus as he is very easy going. He does not like to be alone and having another dog in the home would be very beneficial for him -- the dog should be relatively mild. And if there is a retired person or couple who would shower him with love and take him for daily walks, pamper him all day long with love and attention, he would love this too.
Gus is current on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and licensed; and he will go home with collar, ID tag, harness, and leash.
We can set up a meet & greet upon approved application. Please email to request one.

More about this rescue
We are a small foster-based group who helps owners who can no longer care for their dogs, or if someone passes and there is no family to take the dog, we can place the dog in a foster home, vet the dog, and then after personality assessment, will make the dog available for adoption.
Also, based on foster availability, we take in stray dogs and diligently look for owners. We have a good track record for reuniting pets with their families, but in the cases where no owner surfaces, we vet the dogs and prepare them for adoption, all while they are in a safe and loving foster home.
