Story
Princess came to us from PACC (Pima Animal Care) along with her 2 housemates after their owner no longer had housing. She is pretty shy and uncertain in new situations but warms up quickly with her caregivers and is friendly with both men and women (children unknown but she is mild tempered). She has been ok with other dogs in the past (does seem more dominant) but would really prefer to be the only dog in the home. She walks pretty well on a leash but could use a little more work. She uses the dog door and has been accident free almost from the beginning. She does ok in a crate but also has nice house manners. Princess has no health concerns based on her exam and bloodwork. She is estimated as 7 years old and is about 33 lbs but could stand to lose a few. She is beautiful and so soft and behaved well with the groomer (and the foster for pre groom cleanup!) Princess is fostering in N Phoenix!! If you would be interested in this pretty lady and have no other pets please submit an application.

Story
Lucky is 10 years old and about 29#. She is a sweet girl who love attention and to be a part of everything you are doing. She is house broken and will let you know when someone is at your door. She will bark for a minute or two and when you leave will bark and howl for about 5 minutes if someone is here and gets them to stop, or for 10-15 minutes of no one is home She will not run out of the door when it is opened, and loves car rides. We don't usually crate her, but she has been before and fine with it. Lucky gets along with children of all ages and is fine with other dogs. She likes to sleep on the bed with you, if you put her there as she cannot jump the height of the bed (but can on the couch). Lucky has a collapsing trachea that she takes medicine for it every 8 hours and does well on them, but late at night when she is super relaxed, she has to cough or hack up loudly for a few minutes and a few times and then is fine. She also has to take heart medication 2 times a day. We are trying to walk her to get the weight down as she would benefit Lucky likes to go into small trash cans and pull out anything she can eat and rip apart, and will try to get your food if you let them and have stolen snacks from the kids before when left out. She eats Purina True Instinct dog food and just graze throughout the day. Lucky would make a great companions to someone who has the time for her and has so much love to give. She is the sweetest girl and has been so fun to have around. Lucky was already spayed (previously) and is current on vaccines. Lucky is on heart meds which she will require for life.

Story
T-Bone came to us when his family could no longer care for him. He is estimated around 9 years old and is approximately 12 lbs. He is doing well with the potty routine in his foster home - going outside when his foster dad is home and using puppy pads when he is away at work. He enjoys his yard time and is a big fan of treats! He does have some mild food protectiveness but that is understandable given that there was not enough food at his former home. T-Bone does pretty well on a leash. He does great in a crate and ok in the car. He is timid but very affectionate once he warms up and knows you are safe. He is generally not a big barker. T-Bone is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and also had bloodwork done which looked good! If you would be interested in giving a forever home to this sweet boy apply HERE )))) https://form.jotform.com/cherishedtails/dog-application

Story
Princess Sadie came to us from Yuma where she sadly was not redeemed by her family even though they knew she was there. She is trying to be brave as she navigates her rescue journey. She is estimated around 11 years old and is around 11-12 lbs. She is generally quiet and mild mannered though sometimes growls when the other dogs get too close to her and remains somewhat independent and mostly keeps her distance. She would be happier in a home with fewer dogs. She walks nicely on a leash and is doing very well with the potty routine with regular opportunities to get out (fully housebroken). She likes being petted but (thus far) is not too much of a "lap dog". She is a "foodie" and mealtimes are her favorite time of the day. She had a dental while in rescue and does have a heart murmur requiring medication (about $35/mo). She will come with 6 months of sponsored medications.

Meet Burrito Straight from the Yuma Humane Society, Burrito is an 9-10 year old, 19 pound gentleman with fluff, depth, and main character energy. He is slightly round. Slightly seasoned.

Weight management is part of his long term plan, and he has fully committed. His leash walking is excellent. He is increasing his daily steps and casually considering a senior dog 5K. At his pace. With snack breaks. Personality Profile Burrito does not rush into relationships. He does not leap in with all four paws. He is discerning He might swipe right. But he believes in a moderate pace connection. He can be a little aloof at first, but once he feels safe, his sweetness comes through. He builds rapport one step at a time. When he chooses you, it means something. He is good with dogs of all sizes and carries himself with quiet confidence. Manners and Home Life He walks beautifully on leash. He can also be trusted free roaming in the home. He is doing well with his potty routine. In other words, he has his life together. The Real Burrito Yes, his fluff draws people in.

Story
Push came to us when his family was evicted and he and his housemate has nowhere to go. He is a fairly shy guy with people he does not know but does warm with time and kindness. He is very good with other dogs his size and lived with a larger dog. Push is mild mannered and even when scared has never growled or shown any negative behavior. He could use some additional work on the leash, but is getting the potty routine down in his foster home with a dog door and foster friends showing him the way. He also seems ok in a crate though does not get into things so can be trusted free roam in the home. Push got a dental cleaning while in rescue and is a healthy boy! He is also up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He is around 11 years old and weighs 13-14 lbs. He does not seem to be an excessive barker so might do ok in a smaller home such as a townhome or condo with a small yard.
