Story

My name is Mel. I was adopted in 2018 by one of my current owners. Sadly, my other pet parent passed away from cancer. My remaining owner now has serious health issues and can no longer care for me the way I need. I am a sweet senior dog (likely between 10 and 12 years old) looking for a loving home to spend the rest of my life. I am very gentle, though I do bark at other dogs and need some time to adjust to new environments. I get along fine with cats, and I have never shown aggression toward people or children. I am house-trained, but because of my age, I do have accidents. Note from the owner’s daughter: I am trying to find a new home for Mel. My father loves him deeply, but he is suffering from dementia and is no longer able to care for Mel.

Story

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

Buttercup is a sassy little chihuahua mix who is approx. 6-7 years young and 14 lbs. This sassy but adorable girl is searching for her perfect person. Background: For several months, Buttercup and her pals were living on the streets and being fed by people in the neighborhood. As a result, she gets nervous around new people and it takes a while for her to trust you. Personality: Buttercup takes a while to warm up to people. Once she selects you as her person, her excitement to see you begins to show through tail and body wags, talking to you, jumping on you, but will shy away when you try to pet her. She is wary of new people, but we are working on her socialization skills and she is making progress. Once you break through and earn her trust, which may take up to 6 months, Buttercup will reluctantly allow you to do short back and butt scratches, will shadow you, and sleep near you. Buttercup is food motivated and enjoys treats (although she doesn't like fruits or vegetables). In her free time, Buttercup enjoys going for walks, sunning herself in the backyard, and hanging out with other household dogs. Health: Buttercup is up to date on all vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. She does have seasonal allergies and is on medicine. Training: Buttercup is house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. She does not use a dog door. She knows the commands: come, crate, and leave it. Ideal Home: Buttercup requires a special home with love, patience, and a family who will continue to work on her confidence-building. Since she tends to snap when she is scared, Buttercup would thrive in a child-free home with a confident female owner who will be patient and help her break out of her comfort zone. She is used to being around other dogs in her foster home, and does best with calm small to medium size dogs. Buttercup likes someone to accompany her when she goes outside. A secure, fenced-in yard is essential to ensure her safety. She learns from other dogs and would benefit in a home with another dog that will allow her to cuddle and share their crate. Adoption Requirements : Buttercup’s adoption fee is $350. If you think Buttercup is the dog for you please review the following adoption requirements. Must live in the Phoenix metro area Must have a securely fenced yard Ideally have a dog companion for Buttercup to bond with. If you are interested in Buttercup please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application . *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. January 4, 2026, 11:28 am

Story

Meet Mr. Shilo! He is a one-year-old, 17lb Chihuahua/dachshund mix with a heart of gold. Mr. Shilo came from a difficult situation involving 60 dogs where he often had to compete for food. Fortunately, he was rescued and has been thriving in a wonderful foster home. In his foster home, Mr. Shilo has learned to love the indoors, toys, and the company of a doggie sibling. While he was initially scared, he has blossomed into a happy energetic dog who enjoys zoomies in the yard, sitting in laps, doing and receiving belly rubs. Here are some important details to help you decide if Mr. Shilo is a good fit for your home: - Behavior: He is a bit cautious at first and needs a patient family that will give him time to warm up. - Training: He uses a doggy door but still needs help with leash training and walking. - Food: He is very food-motivated. Due to his history, he does not like to share food or treats. - Sleeping: He is happy to sleep in your bed or in a dog bed in your room. - Children: It is currently unknown how he behaves around children. Mr. Shilo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $350, which helps cover medical expenses for the rescue. If you think Mr Shilo would be a good fit for your family please complete our online application at: Application . A volunteer coordinator will contact you after reviewing your submission. *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.
