My story

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

Hi, Im Spanky, and Im a loving, cuddly boy who just wants to be part of a family. Im playful, affectionate, and happiest when Im close to my people. I get along with everyone. I live around farm animals, and I do great with them. I also get along wonderfully with cats and other dogs, so I fit in pretty easily wherever I go. I love to play, explore, and have fun, but Im just as happy curling up next to you for snuggles. Im gentle, sweet, and ready to bring a lot of joy into someones life. If youre looking for a friendly, easygoing companion who will love you with his whole heart, Id really like to meet you. Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Additional adoption info

At Desert Paws Sanctuary, we’re committed to finding the perfect match for both our pets and their new families. Here’s how our adoption process works:

Submit an Application – Begin your journey by filling out our adoption application, which helps us learn more about you and your lifestyle.

Application Screening – Our team will carefully review your application to ensure a good fit for both you and the pet.

Reference Check – At this stage, we will contact your references to confirm the information provided.

Schedule a Meet-and-Greet – If everything checks out, we’ll arrange a meeting between you, your family, and the pet.

Adoption Day! – If the meet-and-greet goes well, you can finalize the adoption on the same day and welcome your new furry family member home!

We take these steps to ensure our pets go to loving, safe, and well-matched homes. Thank you for understanding and for choosing adoption!

Go meet their pets

At Desert Paws Sanctuary, our pets are loved and cared for in foster homes while they await their forever families. Because we are a foster-based rescue, all meet-and-greets with our pets are by appointment only.

This approach allows us to give each potential adopter a personalized experience while minimizing stress for our animals. Thank you for your understanding and support in giving these pets the love and care they deserve!
