**COOL COLLETTE** Age 8 Phoenix AZ. Meet Collette. This sweet mama was rescued from a hording situation with one of her pups. Her pup has been adopted and now its her turn. She came to us with VF last December. She has been getting so much love and meds and she has turned a healthy corner and is now looking for her fur-ever happy ending! She is a petite little gem weighing in at about 10lbs. She is so loving is now playing with toys....we are guessing she never had any of her own before....she loves to sunbathe and is big and small dog friendly. When her titer is at an acceptable level she will be spayed. Collette is a sweet senior girl who deserves all the pampering and love she has never received until she came to us! Fully vetted, microchipped & spayed when titer neg and UTD on all shots. Who's looking for a really precious senior girl to pamper?

Story
Meet Turnip, the 11‑pound Chihuahua philosopher whose head is approximately 60% curiosity about snacks, 30% cheddar broccoli soup, and 10% Very Important Thoughts about the aforementioned snacks. At 4 years old, Turnip is a gentle, affectionate little guy who likes to take life at a slower pace. He’s the kind of dog who pauses to ponder the mysteries of the universe—like “Who Invented Cheese?” or how many treats one small dog should reasonably receive in a day (his answer: infinite). He’s curious, sweet, and absolutely convinced he’s still a puppy at heart. Hand him a toy—any toy—and he lights up like he just discovered joy for the first time. Turnip is wonderfully dog‑friendly and would love a canine buddy to help him build confidence. He is food & treat‑motivated in the most endearing way, which makes training fun, even if his leash manners are still a work in progress. Think of him as a tiny scholar who just needs a patient human to help him finish his thesis on “Why Walk When You Could Be Carried?” He’s sweet, snuggly, and ready to devote his big heart (and big ole head) to someone who appreciates a thoughtful little companion with a mashed‑potato soul. Turnip gets along beautifully with dogs and is genuinely great with humans of all ages. Whether it’s kids, adults, or seniors, he’s ready to charm them with his soft eyes and potato‑powered enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a small dog with huge charm, Turnip is ready to be your favorite side dish to your main. His adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Neuter surgery -All current vaccinations (Bordetella, DA2PPV, Rabies) -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
Wesley is a sweet male Pomeranian with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. Life has been a little unpredictable for him lately—he’s been through a few home changes in the past few months, which is why he may feel a bit anxious when left alone.

But once he gets to know you, his affectionate personality shines! He loves snuggles and will happily be your loyal companion. Wesley has experience living with other small dogs, so he could be a great fit for a multi-pet household. He also enjoys playtime with toys, which is a wonderful way to bond with him. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who just needs a little time and reassurance to trust, Wesley could be your perfect match. Give him the chance to feel safe and loved, and he’ll reward you with endless affection. His adoption fee is $375 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

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Snowball has a personality almost as big as his toy collection. At heart, he’s a lively boy who thrives on treats, playtime, and companionship. While he can be anxious and reactive with strangers at first, once he feels comfortable, his true colors shine - cheerful but also full of sass in the most endearing way. Snowball’s favorite pastime? Toys. He’ll happily hoard them into piles so impressive they’d make a dragon jealous. He’s also great at letting you know when it’s time for a quick walk to stretch his legs and take a potty break. The rest of the time, he’s perfectly content to keep you company, whether that’s playing by your side or curling up for a cozy nap. Because of his reactivity with strangers, adopters will need to meet with our behaviorist before bringing him home. For the right family, Snowball promises endless entertainment, loyal companionship, and a whole lot of fluffy charm. He’s sassy, lovable, and ready to find the people who will appreciate him for exactly who he is. 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

Egypt gets along well with other friendly, respectful dogs and would be a lovely companion for families of all ages.

If you’re looking for a small senior sweetheart who will reward your care with endless affection, Egypt may be the perfect match. He’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by comfort and love.
