Story
I am a soulful, affectionate pup who craves connection, safety, and a place to truly belong. My early years were tough - I was adopted as a puppy and thought I’d found my forever home, but things didn’t go quite as planned. My first five years were full of changes and uncertainty, and eventually, I was brought back to the shelter. It was a tough time, but I’ve since moved into a foster home where I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I’ve made huge strides in building trust and confidence, and every safe, loving experience helps me grow even more. At 6 years old, I have the maturity and manners of an adult dog, but don’t let that fool you - I still have that inner puppy sparkle, a curiosity and joy that comes alive when I’m given new experiences, fun toys, and time to explore. I love outdoor adventures, cozy spaces filled with pillows and blankets, and keeping busy with my favorite chew and squeaky toys. Belly rubs and booty scratches aren’t just my favorite, they’re how I feel loved, comforted, and safe, and I have no problem making sure my people know when it’s time for affection. I’m treat motivated and eager to learn, making me easy to train and excited to work with people who want to help me continue growing. I feel most comfortable with people who are calm, kind, and patient - folks who let me take things at my own pace but are always there to guide and reassure me when I need it. I need a safe space away from other dogs and lots of hustle and bustle. I thrive on outdoor exploration, mental stimulation, and human connection. I’m very social at heart, I just struggle with trust because of my past, but the more people I bond with the more I learn that I’m wanted, safe, and loved and my personality blossoms. I’m looking for a calm, adults-only home with no other pets, where I can keep growing at my own pace. A big yard or access to outdoor exploration would help keep me engaged, and with time and love, I’ll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Are you the person who can help me keep building trust and discovering just how great life can be? Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, no other dogs, adults only home. My adoption fee is $200 and includes the following: -2 Free private training lessons in-home or at the shelter -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at Choice Pet Market For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.

Tempe, AZ

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bodhi is an adult tan‑and‑white boxer mix with a soft expression and an even softer heart. This handsome guy is active, affectionate, and always ready to lean in for love. He’s a fan of the full trifecta of toys, food, and affection, which means you'll likely never be at a loss for training motivators with him. Bodhi does pull on the leash a bit, so he’ll benefit from continued practice and positive reinforcement. Social and playful, Bodhi enjoys the company of small dogs, but he's not a fan of dogs around his size or larger. Because of his size and energetic nature, he’s looking for a home with children 7 and up who can enjoy his bouncy, joyful spirit. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who brings enthusiasm, sweetness, and a whole lot of charm, Bodhi might be the perfect match for your family. He’s ready to find his people and start his next chapter with love and confidence. My adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
**CLEVER CLYDE aka FABULOUS FAT BOY** Age 3.5yrs Phoenix AZ. Who here remembers this gorgeous hunk? This sweet chunk was the beloved fur-baby to a human in need living on the streets of our community. He was affectionately named Fat Boy and he was in dire need of medical attention. He had a terrible injury to his front left leg that he could only drag. We posted about him and thousands of people commented that they wanted us to support the human and his furry companion with the care they both needed. Well.....we did....in fact we spent thousands of hours (and dollars) on his care rehabilitation.....and now we need your help! Sadly we have been unable to reunite Fat Boy (now Clyde) with his human so we are looking for a loving home for this sweet hunk! Clyde is LOVING living life indoors and having his own pool to play in and his own comphy bed to sleep on. Here are his impressive stats: *He is a mix of Cane Corso, Neapolitan Mastiff and APBT *He weighs in at 71lbs *He is healthy, UTD on all shots, altered and microchipped and potty trained *He does not let being a tri-pod slow his roll-although he does enjoy his walks with short breaks! *He loves his big and small doggie friends *He is so loving, gentle and is a world-class cuddler *He gives Michael Phelps a run for his money in the dog paddle category *He deserves to be coddled and spoiled the rest of his beautiful life! We need your help to get this boy a permanent loving home. Please share his story and if you think you would be a good fit for him fill out an application and come take a dip with this handsome boy!
