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/

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.

Story
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 29, 2024, 11:19 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.

Story
Hey you!! I'm Pimenta and I'm a little girl, but my heart is big, big, BIG! I LOVE being held and talked to. I enjoy playing with other smaller or medium-sized dogs and I especially love human kids! They seem to love me too. I dunno why. Maybe it is because I’m a tiny girl at only 11 pounds or because my fur is soft like a chinchilla. Sometimes they call me a chinchihuahua lol! I came to Help a Dog Smile with four baby puppies. I did not have the most pampered life before, so I was grateful these kind people took me in, helped me raise my puppies and helped me get some vet care that I needed. I feel great now and I’m a spunky but also mellow girl. I would fit in well with almost any pack and would love to have a furever home with at least one other dog. I am fairly low maintenance, and you may not even notice me sometimes because I curl up in a little ball and love to take naps through the day. I enjoy walks, playtime, and treats. I know how to use a dog door and eat only the tiniest amount of food twice a day. I would make a great addition to any family. I'm up to date on shots, spayed, dewormed, and microchipped! And I'm looking for my forever family...I'm not disposable for any reason like marriage, divorce, moving, babies...ANY reason whatsoever! If you are interested in making me a permanent member of your family, please fill out our online application: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adopt/. My adoption fee is $350.  *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.

Hi, my name is Katie.  I am a 3 1/2 years old female chihuahua. My foster mom says I am 6.5 pounds of cuteness.  I have a playful personality but I am also a gentle little girl.  I am potty trained, not destructive, and I get along great with people and small dogs.  With all my great qualities it is no wonder folks love me! I am in a foster home with 3 small dogs and they are showing me how to be a good little dog.   At 6.5 pounds, I am too small to be outside unsupervised. So please always be outside with me to protect me.  I am sorry but I am not suited for apartments.  I am looking for a forever family that will continue my training so I can become the best companion for your family.   Mostly I want a family that will love me and care for me THE REST OF MY LIFE, which could easily be 13-15 years or more.   Katie has been micro-chipped, Spay and is up to date on shots. Her adoption fee of 350.00 will help with medical needs of the rescue group. If you are interested in Katie and live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you. please complete an adoption application*: https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/.  * An 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.
