Story
I adopted Cherry Cola (Cherry for short) almost a year ago from a shelter and just turned a year old earlier this year. She’s energetic and loves playing with crinkly/squeaky toys. Cherry knows Sit, Down and Off commands. I’ve also trained her to sit and wait till I give the verbal cue “ok” to begin eating. She’s good with other dogs and cats and especially loves playing with smaller pets. I’m looking for someone with the ability to give her the time and attention she deserves.

Story
I have owned these two since 5 weeks old. They are both very well trained and good for the home in all aspects. Doggie door trained, crate trained, and very well mannered. I moved to Arizona from California to take care of my ailing 82 year old mother. The dogs really stress her out since she is still traumatized by an incident that happened in her childhood so this extra stress in her condition now is forcing this situation. Blondie is a lover and will try to lick you to death. Petey is a little more timid as he was the last born of the litter. both loving and require little care.

Havanese Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Maricopa, AZ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Eddy is a lovable five-and-a-half-year-old dog with a big personality and plenty of energy. He has been raised alongside cats and another dog, making him comfortable around other animals and well-socialized in a multi-pet household. One of Eddy’s favorite things is curling up on your lap while watching TV, where his affectionate and loyal nature really shines. Despite his sweet, cuddly side, Eddy is an active dog who thrives on attention, exercise, and engagement. He would do best with a family or individual who has the time to provide the training, structure, and companionship he needs. Eddy has so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone who can match his energy and dedicate time to helping him reach his full potential.

Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jack loves people. He fetches, he enjoys walks but needs leash training, he will be attached to your hip if you let him. He gets some separation anxiety, our dad didn't leave the house for longer than a few hours at a time and Jack got very used to having him around all the time. He has learned to listen when you tell him not to jump, but he begs for food if you eat near him. He was very enthusiastic about meeting a 6-year-old child, but a little too excitable to be unsupervised with him.He liked our dad's other dog of a similar size, but she was older and he had too much puppy energy for her. He has not been around other smaller dogs, he should not be kept with cats.He'll play tug of war until your arms are tired, he likes it when you let him win so he can do a victory lap around the yard with the toy.He's only about 4 and very teachable, but he's used to a very permissive owner who let him sleep in the bed and jump on him, and he's grieving the loss of his person.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
We rescued Soul a little over a year ago and she’s grown on us so much. She’s about two years old and we were told she could be a Dutch Shepherd, brindle coat. I took her to the vet to get all her shots last year but have not had the opportunity to update them this year due to finances.Although she’s been a blessing, my other dog does not get along with her. Soul tries to play with her. I’ve tried several things to try and have them reconnect but my other dog won’t budge. I’ve had to keep them separated for months and I don’t think either one of them deserve to be removed from the environment because they can’t get along.Soul is fairly trained. She’s had a few accidents but I think it’s just her being excited and young. She is not spayed. She’s young so she’s got some energy and she’s a great guard dog. We just want her to go to a loving home, that’s what we wanted to give her so this is hard to do 😞I have older kids and other huskies and she gets along great with them.

Story
Samson came from a reliable breeder on Good dog website. He has his AKC registration paperwork, chipped and two rounds of shots. He is 6 months old and has had genetic disease tests run on him through the breeder. He is looking for a home that can offer tug a war, short walks and endless scratches. He can definitely be a couch potato, but is a giant goof ball when he gets the zoomies. He is crate and potty trained. And has slept at night in his crate since he was 7 weeks old.
