Story
Milo was rescued when he was puppy at 8 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter and he needs lots of love and attention as he will let you know when he's ready to be next to you. He is definitely a dog that needs a one dog family home. He loves walks, playing fetch, and loves to chew. He would need an active owner who can keep him busy. Sadly, we're having to rehome him but want him to go to a good home.

Story
This an name nameis Leia like princess Leia. She is a sweet girl who I adopted from the Maricopa County shelter. When I got her she was severely underweight, needed surgery and had kennel cough. I feared she would be put down so I adopted her. Now she is a healthy weight and is all recovered from her surgery and illness. She is so sweet, she hardly ever barks. (Doesn't bark when someone knocks, hears a loud noise sees other dogs or people.) They guessed she is around 4 years old. She is now around 45 pounds.She is mostly Catahoula leopard dog and Australian Sheppard. She loves everyone she meets and is good with kids. She does like to jump but is easily deterred with a spray bottle of water. She is good around most dogs but can take a little bit to warm up to them. She requires a lot of walks and frequent exercise. I don't kennel her and she does great, however I work long hours and she needs someone who is home more often to let her. She will come with plenty of supplies.

Story
Keedah is young (maybe 1yrs) Siberian huskyfemale that is not spayed. She was found wandering around downtown Phoenix early February, she was picked up by someone I know. He took her in to see if she was chipped, which she is not. She was then vaccinated and came to us the early March. She is very friendly and loving, playful with our other dog, and overly curious about our cats. This last trait is why we are looking to rehome her. She knows the sit command and starting to learn her name. Keedah would be great with another dog, a backyard to run and play, kids, and someone who loves dog cuddles.

I’m good with older children, crate trained, use the doggy door and love to be loved! I do have allergies that have to be cared for every six months. If it’s not affordable for the family the rescue is willing to care for them if I’m taken to their vet.
