Story
Hi Friends! It’s me Baxter! I’d like to introduce myself to let you know I’m on the hunt for my forever home. I found myself as a stray last summer but my friends at Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary scooped my up, took me to the vet for a check-up, and found me a new home. Happy ending, right?? For several months, my life was picture perfect with my loving guardians; however, circumstances intervened and I returned to FLPS. My former family reported I am a “perfect dog” who loves belly rubs and evening walks. So here we are…I’m currently lounging in a foster home while they make all sorts of observations. Some highlights my foster reported include: I especially like attention and bond very quickly to my people. However, I’m not a demanding sort, I just want some pats on the head then I’m happy to lay quietly beside you. I’ve lived with cats and easily assimilate with quiet dogs. If a friendly dog gets a little too nosy, I’ll give him a little verbal reminder then all is good. It’s important to me that my new home be on the quiet side, with guardians that project calm energy. I’m also reliably housetrained, am a low shedder, and sleep soundly through the whole night. Last but definitely not least, check out my amazing golden-brown eyes! You’ll be mesmerized when you see me in person; my soulful stare draws you right in and you won’t be able to resist my charms. Would you like to meet up? Head to foreverlovedpets.org to fill out an app. Can’t wait to see you! Baxter is a 10 -year -old, 32 -pound Cairn Terrier mix.

Story
Mama Chica Hi Mama Chica is full of pep & loves to run like she’s a puppy. She is FAST, her playstyle is rambunctious & a little mouthy. She loves playing chase with either her humans or another dog - even a larger dog. If there are no toys laying around she will pick up an adult shoe and take off with it, but she has not chewed up anything at home with her foster family. She would probably do best with children over third grade because she jumps very actively for attention and might knock a small child over. She has spent lots of time with an 11 year old boy and does fine as long as the child understands giving her space until she is ready to approach. Mama is not afraid of playing with a large dog & will taunt them to play with her. She is pushy but needs a slow introduction & supervision until the pecking order is established because make no mistake Mama definitely wants to be alpha. She does growl and snap until the other dog realizes who is calling the shots so it’s best if other dogs are non-reactive. Mama does do some resource guarding with food & should be fed separately from other dogs. She gravitated toward foster mama first and it took her about 2 weeks to establish relationship with a senior GS & 18 month old Doberman, both males, and foster dad, but there was also a litter of 5 puppies present for the first three weeks. In the evening Mama does want to curl up on the couch next to a human & warns other dogs off but settles down once she is corrected. A good thing is Mama can be very cuddly, likes to wait on the bed while her human takes a shower. She sleeps peacefully all night in a small kennel at foot of the bed but does not like to be shut in a separate room. Sleeps almost 9 hours at night, also lays in her kennel voluntarily during the day as her “safe space“. At bedtime we say “Go to your kennel. Go to bed“ and she goes straight in with no fuss. Mama is let outside immediately upon waking, potties outside & in urgent times mostly hits the potty pad dead on. Mama eats 2X day about 10 hours apart then immediately goes outside to do her daily business twice a day. Very seldom has an indoor accident. Riding in a car the only place Mama feels safe is between the drivers legs which is dangerous, so it is best if she is kenneled in a car. With regular daily practice, she is perfecting walking on a leash. Sometimes she gets distracted out in the wide, wide world and spins, so a halter is better than a collar when walking. If Mama Chica is the only dog in the home, she will need to be socialized often or she can be possessive of her human. She has a very loud BARK! We say we don’t need a doorbell. we have Mama Chica! Best if her adopter does not live in a home with common walls.

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Look at this cutie! Meet Luna, a 6-year-old, 20-pound scruffy terrier blend with a zest for life and plenty of energy to enjoy it! Despite being in her middle years, Luna is still full of fun and adventure. Luna would be perfectly content as the only dog in your home or with a non-dominant male dog. She loves exploring the outdoors, so a secure, fenced backyard is a must—she’s not suited for apartment or condo living. Luna enjoys walks and would be thrilled to spend the day with you, whether you're going on adventures or just hanging out together. While Luna is easygoing, she prefers to be the only female dog in your life. She’s not particularly fussy, but she’d rather not share her home with other female dogs. We’re not sure about her interactions with cats or young children, so we recommend a home with older, responsible kids who can appreciate her delightful personality. Luna is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00. If you’re ready to make Luna a cherished member of your family, please visit https://pwrescue.org and click on the “Adopt” button to complete an application.  Pathways Home Animal Rescue September 5, 2024, 10:59 pm

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Taz is a delightful 14-month-old terrier mix who weighs around 15 pounds. With his boundless energy and enthusiasm, he's sure to bring joy to an active family with a yard where he can run and play. This spirited boy loves to vocalize his excitement and might not be the best fit for apartment or condo living due to his penchant for "sounding alarms." He could adapt well to having another dog around, provided there’s a proper introduction, though his lively nature might be a bit too much for older dogs. He’s not been officially tested with cats, so a cat-free home would be ideal for him. As with all puppies and young dogs, Taz will require some basic obedience training so that he can become the best boy he can be!   Since Taz was found as a stray, his history with children is unknown. Therefore, he’d thrive best in a home with older kids who have some experience with dogs and who can match his energetic and happy-go-lucky personality. Taz is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.  His adoption fee is $350.00.   If you would like to add this sweet boy to your family, please visit our website: https://pwrescue.org and click on the "Adopt" button to complete an application.Pathways Home Animal Rescue September 5, 2024, 10:59 pm

Story
Manda came out of a hoarding situation, so she didn’t have the greatest start to her young life. After arriving at the shelter, she did go into a foster situation for a while and did quite well, but still did. It find her forever home. He coat was badly matted so she had to be shaved. The last photo is what she looked like when she first came in and what her coat will return to when it grows back, but she looks great shaved as well! She loves to play with other dogs. She’s a bit timid with new people but will warm up. When she does, she loves to cuddle next to you on the bed or put her head in your lap for pets when you’re sitting down.
