My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✨🐾 Meet Corky — A SECOND CHANCE FOR A STREET SURVIVOR 🐾✨

💔 From the streets of Nogales,AZ to a new beginning — this gentle boy’s story deserves a happy ending.

When this sweet pup was found wandering the streets of southern Arizona, he didn’t look good. His finder’s heart broke, but couldn’t take him in herself so she contacted Santa Cruz Animal Care & Control. She visited him at the shelter every day, determined not to let him be forgotten. 💞

When euthanasia became a real possibility, she made a brave choice: she pulled him to safety. Not because she was looking for another dog — but because her heart wouldn’t let her walk away. ❤️

Now this well-behaved, gentle soul is healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a forever home.

✨ About this handsome boy:
📅 2–3 years old
⚖️ 45 lbs
💉 Fully vaccinated & neutered
🏡 Housebroken, calm, affectionate
🚶‍♂️ Walks nicely on leash
🐾 Gets along well with others

He’s the kind of dog who quietly reminds you what love, loyalty, and resilience look like. 💕

Now he just needs someone kind enough to give him the home he’s been waiting for.

Let’s make sure this sweet boy’s story ends in love — not loss. 🐕❤️

More about this shelter

Hello! Thanks for checking us out. We are a 501-c3 non profit rescue and rehab service in Tucson, AZ

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs from the streets of Mexico in cooperation with other animal rescue organizations in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Our shelter in Hermosillo, Sonora, Vidas Con Causa, currently has over 150 dogs. There, we provide medical care and a loving place for them to heal before coming to the US, then we foster and work on finding the perfect fit for adoption. You can also visit the available dogs at the rescue in Mexico. Our rescue partners spend a lot of time getting to know the dogs and we know MOST of their
perks and quirks!

We help special needs dogs, the amputees, the pregnant Pitties, the MexiMutts, those from small independent shelters who don't get much notice, the cancer patients. We provide round-the-clock care until these dogs are ready for rehoming.
