Story
Earl came from us from PACC and is 9-10 years old and about 10 lbs. Like many senior dogs Earl enjoys to snooze his days away but does get spurts of activity and this gentle little soul appreciates attention and is fairly friendly. He walks nicely on a leash and does great in a crate (snoozing) but does not get into things he shouldn't. He is still working on the potty routine at his foster home as he is a little uncertain of the dog door. He might also prefer a calmer home with just a couple of small friends but has gotten along well in his very full and busy foster home. Earl got a dental when he was neutered and has a low grade heart murmur (no meds required yet). Earl may be a little hearing impaired but seems to see pretty well can be a little timid but not snappy.

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.

LANA

Poodle (Miniature)

Female, 9 yrs 9 mos
Marana, AZ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lana came back to us a few months ago because her adopter was often away from home and Lana needed someone who could maintain more of a routine and also ensure that she is able to get ongoing health care if needed. She was having seizures in that home but that has not continued in her foster home however we have noticed that she is likely deaf and also a bit "dull" (slow). Lana is a sweet girl but does not engage much with people or other dogs. She is easy to handle but is not fully housebroken so someone would need to be patient with her. Lana is leash and crate trained and quiet so might do ok in a townhome or condo with a small outdoor area. Lana is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and also had a dental when she was originally in rescue (2025). She originally came to us from Nogales (SCACC) and was believed to have Lupus but that was not confirmed and the symptoms resolved completely. Lana is around 10 years old and is 15 lbs. She would likely do best in a quiet home with a consistent routine with someone who understands her (due to her special needs she can get upset with too much change).

CANELO

Chihuahua Pomeranian

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos
Marana, AZ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Canelo came to us from Yuma. He was returned from an adopter after a bite incident due to a "startle" situation. He will require a knowledgeable and consistent adopter who crates or puts him in a room when visitors come and who does not expect a dog who is going to be able to go on lots of adventures or do well with new people and situations (though that might be possible down the road once he gains more comfort and security). In his foster home it took him about 3 days to gain trust but now is happy and engaging and very much of a lap dog (and hugger). He would likely be best in a calm ADULT home with one or two other dogs his size as he seems to not be a fan of big dogs but doing fine with foster sibs. He does prefer ladies but can warm to men. Canelo is using the dog door and also notifies when he needs to go out so is likely housebroken. He also does well in a crate and seems to be leashed trained but is still settling in. Canelo is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped and dewormed. Canelo is estimated 2-3 years and is 9 lbs. Canelo will need a home with routines and predictability and he would benefit from some professional training so that he came overcome his fear based negative behaviors and can become his best little self.

Story
Dolly came back to us after living 2 years with her adopter but needed to return because her mom has cancer. She struggled a bit initially after being used to a quiet home as an only dog and still tends to usually prefer to do her own thing. Dolly would likely prefer a calm home with one other small chill dog. Dolly is now around 9 years old and is about 10 lbs. Dolly may have some limitations with both vision and hearing but still has some of both Dolly is a sweet girl and appreciates affection but does not really seek it out. She will go potty outside when she is carried and placed in yard but usually does not notify so will need a regular routine. Dolly had a mass removed while in rescue and it was benign and she also had an abscess but it has since healed. She received a dental 2 years ago during her initial stay in rescue and is also spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Dolly is leash and crate trained but also has nice house manners.

Story
Buster came to us from Yuma when his owner could no longer care for him and his 2 housemates (Fawn and Maggie). Buster is estimated as 6-7 years old and is a really nice boy. He settled quickly into his foster home and loves to cuddle and hang out on the couch. Buster is around 25 lbs and has no known health concerns. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Buster may not be a fan of kids so would likely do best in a calm adult only home but he does do well with other dogs. He is leash trained and crate trained and is doing great with using the dog door at foster (no accidents or marking). Buster would make a great companion for a senior person or couple.
