Story
Is your four-legged friend lonely? Are you looking for the perfect fur-ever friend for your fur baby? At only 8 lbs., Beth is an active and agile girl who loves to run and play. Even though she is a bit of a wallflower, Beth is partial to the company of other dog-friends as well as female humans. She would prefer her new home to be more on the quite side, and that her adopter be patient and give her time while she learns to trust. Beth is clearly an Arizona girl who loves to be outside, go on short walks, and sunbathe on the rocks. Even though Beth may not be big on human cuddles, she does love her puppy snuggles and would make an excellent companion for your lonely pet at home. If you’re looking to give your fur friend a best friend, Beth is your girl! (If you have a heart big enough for two, Beth would love to be adopted with her friend, Poppy. While Beth can be adopted separately, she has become good friends with Poppy in their foster home.) **Adoption fee includes: vaccinations, spay, dental, dewormed, labwork, and microchipped. (At this time, we only do adoptions in the Phoenix valley and surrounding cities – within a 60 mile radius.) IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING BETH, PLEASE FIRST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://pepperspals.org/adoption-application/

Story
DOB: 12/14/2021Breed: ChihuahuaWeight: 13 lbs. Neutered Male Microchipped & Fully vaccinatedNegative for heartworm & tickborne diseases, and on a monthly preventative. Adoption Fee $300A little bit about me...Wocka-Wocka! What's up everyone my name is Fozzie but the staff here have affectionately dubbed me macho man! I Spent a lot of time outside before coming to the shelter so I'm still learning how to make friends with people, but I do have a few dog buddies! I am behind on my social skills so I'm looking for a home happy to put the time, patience, and effort into helping me become a more well rounded boy. The Highlights...~Very treat and food motivated so, in moderation, it can help me a lot with coming out of my shell. ~I can get along well with other dogs similar in size and play style to me! ~No big dogs. My perfect home would include...A home where I'm able to do my own thing at times. I'm an independent guy so if you're looking for a best friend for your pup at home, i won't be the best fit. I can co-exist with other dogs who are similar in size to me, but I prefer my own space.

IMPORTANT!! Due to time and staffing constraints, ALL inquiries/questions MUST BE accompanied by your completed Adoption Application (Matchmaking Questionnaire). See above for the link to the form. Any inquiries/questions sent without the completed form will NOT receive a response. Thank You for understanding. Affectionate "special needs" Ginger is 4 years old and in search of a loving home that is as special as she is. Ginger had a rough start in life and for the first year of her puppyhood she was strictly confined in a tiny crate with only a few potty breaks. As a result, she suffers from claustrophobia and is terrified of leashes. Despite all this, Ginger is a loving and friendly girl who likes nothing better than to jump up on your lap for a tummy rub, or sit beside you on the couch watching TV. She also loves sleeping in bed with you. She likes toys and chew bones and running around out in the back yard. Ginger is good with other pets and us perfectly potty trained. She uses the doggie door and never makes a mess. Ginger would be the ideal companion for someone who doesn't take their dog for a walk and just wants a friendly and loving pet to be their best friend. Her adoption fee is $125 and includes her spay and all shots.

Hi everyone! My name is Baby and I am a sweet, laid back 8-pound, 10 year-old female Chihuahua mix who wants nothing more than to cuddle and love you.  I may take a little bit to warm up at first as I’m still a little cautious with strangers but I do warm up quickly, especially if you have a little treat you wanted to share with me. I am house-trained and my favorite thing is to sleep and watch tv with you.  I know I would make an excellent addition to your loving home.  I get along fine with small dogs in my foster home but as I am older now I don’t play as much Baby is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $250 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: Adoption Application - Help A Dog Smile .  *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up. April 30, 2024, 2:13 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Jasper and I am a 9 month old chihuahua/doxie mix pup  looking for my forever home.  My foster mom says I am an awesome pup with many great qualities. I was found in a construction dumpster and lucky for me a good samaritan heard my cries and rescued me.  These nice rescue folks took me in and now I live in a foster home with other dogs.  I get along great with the other l dogs in the foster home.  I run in  the yard with them and if they don’t want to play I play with toys.    Jasper is doing well with housetraining to a dog door.  He is still a puppy and as with all puppies he needs his owners to continue his training so that he will become the best family dog.  We do not know if Jasper likes kids or cats but we suspect he will as he is a happy little guy who likes everyone.     Jasper  is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee of $350 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think he could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:     Adoption Application - Help A Dog Smile .    *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.  April 30, 2024, 2:13 pm
