Story
Hi this is Spencer. Spencer is living with my husband and I with his 3 dog siblings and currently happy although Spencer does not like children and we as a family are planning to begin the process of having a child whether that means it happens for us or we adopt. I want to begin looking for a perfect home that Spencer can continue to be happy and live his best life. Why no kids:He does not like children of any age Why no other dogs:Spencer is good at playing, initiating play & very respectful of his playmate. He is not good at sharing his human. Spencer wants all the love and attention and has in the past chomped his brother for being too close to his mom. Spencer will also get excited about a neighbor dog or a truck in the ally and bite whoever is next to him. He has broken skin depending on how worked up he gets. Cool things about Spencer He sleeps a lot! Loves the King Sized bed. He is muzzle trained, crate trained & does not mind either. He can be active or lazy & he talks a lot

Story
Ellie came to us for training due to her stranger danger/feral behavior. We have worked hard on her new greeting behaviors, outlet for her energy and training. She is an active dog with great potential and she will reward her owners with a very dedicated life of love and a dog that loves to be active! She would be best in a home with just her maybe another male dog around her age and a quiet home. (not a lot of parties, NO kids or grandkids, etc) I would love to see her in a home that likes to hike, play fetch, maybe do some competitive obedience. She likes people especially women once she gets to trust people. She does well with management/training and exposure to new things, she will need continuing education on training for impulse control and allowing the time she needs to meet new people. Once she has an understanding of what is expected of her when meeting new people she is great with them! Easy in the crate, and house setting and out in the back yard. She loves to curl up after a good play session and cuddle on the couch with her loved ones. See her profile here: https://azbcr.org/Adopt/AvailableBorderCollies/RescueDetails.aspx?rid=5258

Hello! I'm Samara!I'm a sweet, but timid girl looking for my fur-ever home! I am hoping to find a calm family that will give me the space and patience I need to come out of my shell! Although I might need some time to get used to the routine in my new home, I do have experience living in a home and know some house manners! I enjoy running around, playing with toys, going for walks, and of course spending time with my family at home! I am not the most confident girl with other dogs and might be a little fearful at times, so, I will need to meet any resident dogs to ensure a good match! Do you think you could provide me with the comfortable, loving home I'm looking for? Well come and meet me to see if I'm the one for you!No appointment necessary!Meet me at AAWL's Main Shelter!25 N. 40th StPhoenix AZ 85034602-273-6852Adoption Hours:Monday - ClosedTuesday - Friday & Sunday - 11:30am - 6:00pmSaturday - 10:30am - 6:00pm.AAWL requires that all adopted dogs leave with a leash and collar and all cats leave in a carrier.

Story
Mabel was found abandoned at a gas station :( She is the sweetest puppy I have ever met. She is super calm and is house trained if taken outside regularly, she is still a puppy so it is always a work in progress. Mabel is also crate trained pretty well. She loves to hangout with other dogs and LOVES to run around and play with children. We believe that Mabel is around 6 months old & will have her shots by 3/21. I wish that I was able to keep her, but I am a full time student with a full time job and simply do not have the ability to give her a good long term home.

Story
I've made so much progress since coming to my foster home. I feel good now thanks for the time and patience of my foster dad and furry foster sister. I can sit, fetch a ball, stay and sit up. I only bark if you need me to bark. Such as when I need to go outside to potty or someone comes to the front door. Sometimes Holly will get wound up because she sees a rabbit and I harmonize with her. We are good together. I can walk on a leash when it's attached to a harness but I still need some work when the leash is attached to my collar. If treats are offered, I am a very fast learner and I'll do what I can to please. But you will need to keep training me because there are more things I need to know to be my best self. I'd love to audition for a spot in your home. I could live with other dogs or as an only dog. I've never met a cat so I'm not sure what I might think. I like kids too but haven't met really little ones yet. Overall, I'm full of potential and just need a safe and fun place to grow up. https://azbcr.org/Adopt/AvailableBorderCollies/RescueDetails.aspx?rid=5464

Story
Say hello to ROXY & BANDIT who are 3.5-year-old brother and sister -- best friends who love each other very much. These two are VERY sweet, very loving, and a little silly. Due to a life situation, their mama is having to give them up and is absolutely heartbroken. This sweet Australian cattle dog pair needs a new together-forever home. The dogs must absolutely not be separated - they are even troubled if one has to go to the vet without the other. Both dogs have obedience training and are very nicely mannered. When home alone (or even when they're not alone), they have free roam of the house and are not destructive; they are perfect indoor dogs. That said, Bandit might clean your kitchen counters if you forget to put some food away :) A crate is kept available for the two at all times (door always open) as it's their cozy place for napping. During a storm, mama puts a blanket on the crate and the dogs seem to find comfort, their safety from the storm. Bandit & Roxy are good with all people - even good with smaller children. However, we prefer no small children in the home, our standard policy. Both dogs love kisses and hugs and are generous with them to their humans. They love to wrestle and play together, and need a decent sized dog-friendly yard of their own where they can romp and play and exercise to their hearts' content. Brother Bandit is a little more energetic. While Roxy is also playful, she is so sweet and mellow... loves to be loved, and tries to convince you to give too many treats. They complement each other sweetly and nicely and will fit easily into any home with open arms. This beautiful pair is looking for an active home where the people are around to give affection and exercise. They enjoy walks or jogging (the person(s) should be strong enough to manage the dogs who are 55-60 pounds each) and would appreciate your sharing play-time with them in the yard as well. We can set up a meet & greet upon approved application. Please email to request one.
