Boxer puppies and dogs in Coolidge, Arizona

Hi, I'm Rex — a 2-year-old Boxer mix with a heart full of energy and love to share! 🐕 I'm a solid 45-pounder with a beautiful brown coat, already neutered and ready to hit the ground running with you. I know my basic commands and leash manners, so walks are a breeze, and my friendly, loyal nature means I'll be your devoted companion in everything you do. If you're looking for a playful buddy who's eager to be part of your world, I'm your guy! My adoption fee is $200 — come meet me and let's start our adventure together! 🐾

Hi there, future family! My name is Lafonda, and oh boy, do I have a tail‑wagging story to tell you. I’ve been waiting a long time to share it with the special humans who will someday call me their own. Maybe—just maybe—that’s you. I’m about four years old, which means I’ve got the perfect mix of youthful pep and grown‑up charm. Back in June of 2025, I was picked up as a stray in Yuma. I don’t remember much about how I ended up on my own, but I do remember how relieved I was when kind people scooped me up and kept me safe. I spent some time at the pound there, dreaming of the day someone would walk in, point at me, and say, “That’s the one.” It didn’t happen then… but that’s okay, because my journey wasn’t over. Now I’m living my best temporary life at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, and let me tell you—I’m soaking up all the love, treats, and playtime I can get. Still, every night when I curl up to sleep, I imagine what it will feel like to finally have a forever home. A place where I can stretch out on a soft bed, chase toys across the yard, and follow my humans around like the loyal shadow I’m destined to be. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or rather, the bald spot on my head. Yep, I’ve got one! When I was found, I had a wound there, but it’s all healed up now. The hair just never grew back, so I rock a permanent little shiny patch. Personally, I think it adds character. Some dogs have fancy markings; I have a built‑in conversation starter. It makes me unique, memorable, and honestly kind of adorable. I’m all up to date on my vaccinations, and I’ve been microchipped so I’ll never get lost again. That part is really important to me. After spending who‑knows‑how‑long wandering alone, the idea of always being connected to my people feels like the warmest, safest hug. Now, let’s get to the fun stuff—my personality. If you’re looking for a couch potato, I’m probably not your girl. I’m an active, playful, goofy, boxer‑mix bundle of energy. I love to run, jump, wiggle, and especially play fetch. Oh, fetch. My absolute favorite. Throw the ball once, and I’ll think you’re neat. Throw it twice, and I’ll think you’re amazing. Throw it three times, and I’ll love you forever. I adore people. Hanging out with humans is one of my top hobbies. Whether you’re relaxing, working in the yard, or just wandering around the house, I’m happiest when I’m part of the action. I’m loyal, affectionate, and always ready to brighten your day with a tail wag or a goofy grin. I do need to mention one thing: I’m not good with cats. I know, I know—they’re cute and fluffy, but something about them just gets me too excited. So a cat‑free home would be best for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a dog who will bring joy, laughter, and endless enthusiasm into your life, I think we might be a perfect match. I’ve been waiting since last summer for my forever family to find me. Maybe you’re the one who will finally say, “Come on, Lafonda. Let’s go home.” If you’d like to meet me—and I really hope you do—please email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I’ll be here, tail wagging, ready to greet you with all the love I’ve been saving up. PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt.

My name is Manny, and I'm hoping that somewhere out there is a person or family looking for a best friend just like me. Before you meet me, I'd love to tell you a little about my story. Life didn't start out very easy for me and my brothers. We spent our early puppy months living in a van with our owner. Five of us puppies were crowded together in a small kennel that was dirty, cramped, and far from the kind of place where puppies should grow up. We were underweight, suffering from mange, and had never received proper veterinary care. At the time, I didn't know life could be different. Then one day, everything changed. A kind woman from Pets to Vets, a pet transportation company, arrived to transport us to a boarding facility while our owner was hospitalized. When she saw the condition we were in, she knew we needed help. Instead of looking the other way, she became the first person to give us a real chance. At the boarding facility, a veterinarian treated our mange and gave us our first vaccinations. For the first time, people were helping us heal. A few days later, our owner returned and took our mother home, leaving the rest of us behind. That could have been the end of our story. Instead, it became the beginning of a much better one. The wonderful woman from Pets to Vets opened her heart and her home to all of us. Suddenly, we had room to run and play. We slept on clean bedding, enjoyed regular meals, and discovered what it felt like to simply be puppies. We learned that people could be gentle, caring, and trustworthy. As time went on, caring foster families stepped up to help us while we searched for forever homes. They quickly noticed something special about my brothers and me. Even though we had spent much of our lives hungry, we never fought over food. We happily eat side by side, share bowls, and switch places during meals without a fuss. Somehow, despite a difficult beginning, we remained friendly, trusting, and full of love. That's exactly the kind of dog I am today. I'm a sweet, affectionate young pup who loves attention and enjoys being around people. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing on the couch, I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my humans. I have a playful side, but I also appreciate a good nap and plenty of cuddle time. There is one unique thing about me that people often notice right away: my tail has a bend in it from an old break. The truth is, nobody knows exactly how it happened. It's possible I was born that way, or it may have occurred sometime during my early life before I was rescued. Whatever the cause, it doesn't slow me down one bit. In fact, my tail wags just fine, and many people think it adds a little extra character to my handsome appearance! My mange is healing beautifully, and my coat continues to grow back every day. Those lighter patches you may see in my photos are simply areas where my fur is returning. I've received veterinary care, vaccinations, a microchip, and I've already been neutered thanks to the kindness of people who wanted to give me the best possible start on my new life. Now I'm ready to find what I've been waiting for all along: a family of my own. I'm not looking for perfection. I don't care if your house is big or small. I don't need expensive toys or fancy treats. What matters most to me is having people who will love me, keep me safe, and make me part of their family forever. Maybe you're looking for a hiking buddy. Maybe you're searching for a couch companion to watch movies with. Maybe your kids are hoping for a dog they can grow up with. Or maybe you simply want a loyal friend who will greet you with excitement every single time you walk through the door. If you can offer love, patience, and a permanent place in your heart, I promise I'll do my very best to return that love every day for the rest of my life. I've already overcome a difficult beginning. Now I'm just hoping for the happy ending every dog deserves. Could you be that happy ending? If you'd like to meet me and learn more about my story, please email mike@caaronline.org to schedule an appointment. I can't wait to meet the people I'm meant to call my family. With hope, gratitude, and lots of tail wags, Manny ❤️   PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt.

Hello, future family! My name is Moe, and I'm hoping that somewhere out there is a person or family looking for a best friend just like me. Before you meet me, I'd like to share a little about my journey. I didn't have the easiest start in life. My brothers and I were living in a van with our owner. Five of us puppies spent our days crowded together in a small kennel that was dirty, cramped, and far from the safe, happy place that puppies deserve. We were underweight, suffering from mange, and had never received veterinary care. Everything changed when a kind woman from a pet transportation company called Pets to Vets arrived to transport us to a boarding facility while our owner was hospitalized. When she saw the condition we were in, she knew we needed help. The veterinarian at the boarding facility treated our mange and gave us our first vaccinations. A few days later, our owner returned and took only our mother, leaving the rest of us behind. Most people would have considered that the end of their responsibility, but the wonderful woman from Pets to Vets opened her heart and her home to all six of us. For the first time in our lives, we got to run in a yard, sleep on clean bedding, enjoy regular meals, and simply be puppies. We learned what kindness felt like. A little while later, some caring people agreed to foster several of us while we waited for permanent homes. They quickly discovered something special about us. Even though we had known hunger for much of our lives, we never fought over food. We happily eat side by side, share bowls, and even switch places during meals. Somehow, despite everything we've been through, we've remained gentle and trusting. And that's exactly how I would describe myself. I'm a sweet, affectionate, easygoing pup who loves attention and enjoys being around people. I have a playful side, but I also appreciate a good nap after a day of adventures. The people caring for me say I'm incredibly well-behaved and always ready to offer a wagging tail and a happy greeting. My mange is healing beautifully, and my fur is growing back more every day. Those lighter patches you might see in my photos aren't permanent marks. They're simply spots where my handsome coat is returning. This weekend I'll receive my second mange treatment, booster vaccinations, and a microchip. I've already been neutered, thanks to a generous low-cost veterinary clinic that helped all of us get ready for adoption. So what am I looking for? I'm looking for someone who will love me not because of where I've been, but because of who I am. Maybe you're looking for a hiking buddy. Maybe you want a couch companion to watch movies with. Maybe your kids have been asking for a dog to grow up with. Or maybe you're simply looking for a loyal friend who will be excited to see you every single day. If you can offer love, patience, and a permanent place in your heart, I promise I'll do my very best to return that love tenfold. The truth is, I don't care how big your house is or whether your yard is perfect. I don't need fancy things. After everything I've experienced, the things that matter most are a warm bed, a full belly, and a family that will never give up on me. My name is Moe for now, but I honestly don't know it very well yet. If you adopt me, you're welcome to give me a brand-new name to go along with my brand-new life. What matters most isn't what you call me. What matters is finding the people I'm meant to call my family. If you'd like to meet me and learn more about my story, please email mike@caaronline.org to schedule an appointment. I've already overcome a difficult beginning. Now I'm hoping for the happy ending every dog deserves. Could you be the happy ending to my story? ❤️ With hope and lots of tail wags, Moe ❤️ PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt.

Hi there! My name is Clutch, and I'm looking for something I've never really had before: a forever home. Before I tell you about the kind of family I'm hoping to find, I should probably tell you a little about where I came from. Life didn't start out easy for me and my brothers and sisters. We were part of a group of seven dogs living in a van with a homeless owner. Five of us puppies spent most of our days crowded together in a tiny kennel that was barely big enough for all of us. It was dirty, uncomfortable, and not much of a place for a puppy to grow up. We were hungry, underweight, covered in mange, and had never seen a veterinarian. Things changed when a kind woman from Pets to Vets, a pet transportation company, came to help. She had been asked to transport us to a boarding facility while our owner was hospitalized. When she saw our condition, she knew we needed more help than just a ride. A veterinarian examined us, treated our mange, and gave us our first vaccinations. A few days later, our owner returned and took only our mother, leaving the rest of us behind. Most people might have turned away, but the wonderful lady from Pets to Vets wouldn't let that happen. She took all six of us into her own home. For the first time in our lives, we got to experience what being a dog should really feel like. We played in a yard. We slept on clean bedding. We ate regular meals. We got baths and lots of kindness. Slowly, we started learning that people could be gentle and caring. Later, four of us came to stay with another family who agreed to help while we searched for permanent homes. They quickly discovered something special about us. Even though we had spent much of our lives not knowing where our next meal would come from, we never fought over food. In fact, we'll often share, switch bowls, and happily eat side by side. That's just the kind of dogs we are. As for me, I'm a sweet, resilient pup with a heart much bigger than my past. I love attention, enjoy playing with my dog friends, and I'm learning every day what it means to be a cherished companion. Despite everything I've been through, I still greet life with a wagging tail and an optimistic spirit. My mange is healing nicely, and my fur is growing back more every day. Those light patches you may see aren't scars or discoloration. They're simply places where healthy new fur is returning. This weekend I'll receive my second mange treatment, vaccine boosters, and a microchip. I've already been neutered too, thanks to a generous low-cost veterinary clinic that helped all of us get ready for adoption. The people caring for me say I'm incredibly well-behaved and easy to love. Personally, I think I'm just grateful. Every meal, every belly rub, every soft bed feels like a gift. What I want most now is a family of my own. A family that will see past my rough beginning and focus on the bright future ahead. Maybe that's a family with kids. Maybe it's a retired couple. Maybe it's a single person looking for a loyal best friend. I don't really care what your house looks like or how big your yard is. What matters to me is love, patience, and a promise that I'll never have to wonder where I belong again. My name is Clutch for now, but honestly, I don't know it very well yet. You can call me whatever you like. What matters more than my name is finding someone who wants to make me part of their family forever. If you've read this far, maybe you're already wondering if we're meant to meet. If you'd like to learn more about me or schedule a visit, please email mike@caaronline.org. I've survived a difficult beginning, but I believe the best chapter of my story hasn't been written yet. Could you be the happy ending to my story? ❤️ Love, Clutch   PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt.

My name is O'Reilly, and if you're reading this, I hope it means you're searching for a loyal best friend who is searching for you, too. Before we meet, I'd like to tell you a little about myself and how I got here. My story didn't begin the way most puppies would choose. My brothers and I spent the first part of our lives living in a van with our owner. There were five of us puppies packed together in a small kennel. It was dirty, crowded, and uncomfortable. We didn't have much room to play, stretch, or explore the world the way puppies should. We were underweight, our skin was affected by mange, and we had never seen a veterinarian. At the time, I didn't know life could be any different. Then one day, everything changed. A kind woman from a pet transportation company called Pets to Vets arrived to transport us to a boarding facility while our owner was in the hospital. When she saw us, she immediately realized we needed help. For the first time in our lives, people looked beyond our condition and saw what we could become. The veterinarian at the boarding facility treated our mange and gave us our first vaccinations. We were finally receiving the care every puppy deserves. A few days later, our owner returned and took our mother home, but the rest of us were left behind. That could have been the saddest chapter of my story. Instead, it became the beginning of a better one. The wonderful woman from Pets to Vets refused to turn away. She opened her home and her heart to all of us. Suddenly, I discovered things I had never experienced before. I learned what it felt like to run freely across a yard. I learned how comfortable a clean bed could be. I learned that meals could arrive every day without wondering when the next one might come. Most importantly, I learned that people can be kind. Not long afterward, caring foster families stepped forward to help us while we searched for permanent homes. They quickly noticed something special about my brothers and me. Even though we had spent much of our young lives hungry, we never fought over food. We shared our meals, ate side by side, and often switched places at the bowls as if they all belonged to everyone. Somehow, despite our difficult start, we grew up gentle, trusting, and full of love. That's the kind of dog I am today. I'm a happy, affectionate, easygoing pup who genuinely enjoys being around people. I love attention, tail scratches, belly rubs, and hearing someone tell me I'm a good boy. I enjoy playtime and adventures, but I'm also perfectly happy curling up nearby for a nap after a fun day. The people caring for me often say I have a sweet nature and a calm personality. My favorite thing is simply being included in whatever my humans are doing. My mange is healing beautifully, and my fur is growing back more every day. If you notice lighter patches in my photos, don't worry. That's just my handsome coat making its comeback. I've received veterinary care, vaccinations, a microchip, and I've already been neutered. Thanks to a lot of caring people, I'm healthy, happy, and ready for the next chapter of my life. And that's where you come in. I'm not looking for perfection. I don't care whether you live in a big house or a small one. I don't need fancy toys or expensive treats. What matters to me is having a family that will love me, guide me, and never give up on me. Maybe you're looking for a walking partner. Maybe you need a cuddle buddy on the couch. Maybe your children are hoping for a dog to grow up with. Maybe you're searching for a faithful companion who will greet you like you're the most important person in the world every time you come home. If that's what you're looking for, I think we might be perfect for each other. I've already overcome a difficult beginning, and now I'm hoping for the happy ending every dog deserves. All I need is someone willing to take a chance on me. My name is O'Reilly, and more than anything, I want a family of my own. If you'd like to meet me and learn more about my journey, please email mike@caaronline.org to schedule an appointment. I can't wait to meet the people I'm meant to call my family.
