Story
Meet Bailey!Bailey’s sweet disposition and loving personality will melt your heart faster than a chocolate bar in the blazing desert sun. Around 3 years old, 30 pounds, and spayed, she’s the kind of dog people instantly fall for—everyone who meets her agrees she’s a total gem. Equal parts affectionate companion and cheerful sidekick, Bailey brings warmth, charm, and a gentle joy wherever she goes.Despite undergoing ongoing treatment for Valley Fever, Bailey remains incredibly resilient, bright, and full of life. She hops into the car for vet visits without hesitation, happily greets medical staff, and takes her daily medication like a pro. Even after surgery to repair a corneal ulcer in her right eye (March 4, 2026), she has maintained her signature positivity. Her little head nod—likely from Valley Fever—only adds to her unique charm and doesn’t slow her down one bit.Bailey’s personality is the perfect mix: about 80% chill and 20% playful bounce. She starts her day with a neighborhood walk and then happily rotates between naps, sunbathing, enrichment toys, and courtyard strolls. She’s a big fan of fetch—lovingly called “go-gets!”—and enjoys chewing on toys like beef cheeks. Housebroken and crate trained, she walks well on a leash, rides great in the car, and handles baths, nail trims, and teeth brushing with ease. A true velcro dog, Bailey just wants to be near her person, whether that means a cozy movie night or tagging along for an adventure.When meeting new people, Bailey may be a little cautious at first, but she warms up quickly with gentle pets or treats (she is very food motivated!). She lives peacefully with another dog and a cat, showing respectful and friendly behavior with proper introductions. While she doesn’t live with children, she’s been gentle with kids she’s met. Affectionate, playful, and known for her adorable “corn cobbing,” Bailey is an enthusiastic greeter of neighbors and delivery folks alike. After being in foster care since May 2025, she’s more than ready to find a forever home where her sweet, bouncy, love-filled spirit can truly shine.

Story
Bodda came to us from Yuma. He is estimated 8-9 years old and is around 16 lbs. He is a really good boy, affectionate, cooperative and kind-hearted. Bodda will be getting his neuter and dental on 6/2 so should be adoption ready by 6/5 but is accepting applications now. Bodda walks nicely on the leash, and gets along with other small dogs of all ages. He also does fine in a crate while the foster is away from home for work. Bodda seems to be housebroken as he has not had any accidents since he arrived. He has started showing some interest in toys and love chew bones. He loves pets and laying next to his person on the couch but is not demanding about it. He is very friendly with everyone he meets.

Story
JP came to us after he was surrendered by his owner. He is a sweet, loving and loyal boy. He is leash trained, housebroken and tolerates a crate but also has nice house manners. He would prefer a home where someone is there most of the time as he has some separation anxiety. JP gets along with most dogs (tan, white, etc) but has a weird quirk and does NOT get along with black dogs or a dog with a large portion of black in coat JP is 10 years old and around 17 lbs. He is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. He does have an old man bump that when investigated was a benign cyst so we are likely not going to have it removed. Just like most senior dogs he will likely need a dental in the next couple of years but right now his teeth look very good for his age. If you would be interested in giving JP a forever home submit an application HERE >>> https://form.jotform.com/cherishedtails/dog-application
