Story
Meet Cindy Cindy is a beautiful, spirited girl who is still waiting for someone willing to truly give her a chance.For almost all of her life, Cindy has only known rescue life. She has spent 4 out of her 5 years that is 1493 days living at the rescue, waiting and hoping for a family of her own. Because of this, Cindy will need someone patient and understanding who is willing to visit her a few times and let her slowly build trust and confidence with them.Once Cindy knows you, she is an incredibly fun, loving, and playful girl. She has a goofy personality, loves attention, and is always ready to go on an adventure. Cindy enjoys her walks and would make an excellent hiking partner for someone who enjoys staying active.Cindy is also quite the talker and loves to let you know when she is excited or wants attention. She has learned to sit and is continuing to work on her training every day.Because Cindy is strong and can be reactive when unsure, she will need a confident, experienced handler who can continue providing structure, guidance, and consistency. She will do best in an adult-only home with no children.Cindy truly deserves the chance to finally experience life outside the rescue — a warm home, a comfy bed, and someone she can call her person.If you are willing to take the time to let Cindy get to know you, we believe you will discover what an amazing girl she truly is.If you can offer Cindy an indoor forever home, please fill out an application through Saving Paws Rescue AZ. Approved applications are required prior to meet and greets as we are an all-volunteer organization.Thank you for considering giving Cindy the second chance she has waited so long for.

Broley's StoryMeet Broly!Broly is a lovable, goofy boy with a big heart who is looking for an adult-only home where he can truly relax and be himself. This handsome boy has earned the nickname gentle giant because he is big, strong, loving, and eager to please.Broly has the perfect balance of wanting to be with his people and enjoying his own quiet time. He loves playing ball, going for walks, riding in the car, and soaking up attention from the adults he knows and trusts. When he sees one of his favorite people, expect happy tail wags, an excited little whimper, and a big smile as he eagerly waits for affection!On a recent walk, Broly was excited and pulled a little at the beginning. After being asked to sit a few times and then given the command to walk, he settled down beautifully and became a wonderful walking companion. He passed several dogs without reacting and continued calmly on his way. Because Broly is a large and powerful boy, he needs someone who is comfortable handling his strength.One of Brolys sweetest qualities is how he checks in with his handler and looks for approval. He wants to know that he is doing a good job—and, of course, he loves hearing that he is a very good boy!After he has had his fun, Broly is just as happy to curl up on a comfortable couch or dog bed for some well-earned relaxation. He enjoys having his own space and will let you know when he is ready for quiet time.Food is definitely the way to Brolys heart! He is very food motivated, loves treats and bully sticks, and already knows several commands, including sit, down, roll over, kennel, and recall. He will even bark on cue when you excitedly ask, Who is it? Broly is a smart boy who enjoys learning and would thrive with continued training and positive reinforcement.Broly has a lower energy level and doesnt require endless exercise. A nice walk, a little playtime, quality time with his people, and a comfortable place to relax would make his day complete.Broly can be unsure of strangers at first and appreciates slow, respectful introductions. Because he can be protective of his people, he needs an experienced owner who understands the importance of structure, clear boundaries, and continuing to build his confidence.Broly is looking for:An adult-only homeNo other petsAn experienced owner comfortable with a large, strong dogA patient family who appreciates his loyal natureSomeone committed to helping him continue to learn and thriveIf youre looking for a loyal, loving gentle giant who enjoys walks, adventures, affection, and relaxing by your side, Broly may be the missing piece in your family.Apply today to meet this very cool and handsome boy!www.savingpawsrescueaz.org We will only schedule meet and greets with an approved application.

Meet Timon, an adorable and charming canine companion who is sure to win your heart! This ultimate love bug is not only friendly and house trained, but also quite the handsome fellow.

In fact, he's perfectly content playing in the backyard or snuggling on the couch, making him a versatile companion whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or a homebody. Despite his leash reactivity, Timon enjoys socializing with other dogs, especially after a slow and gentle introduction at puppy day care, where he thrives. Having waited over a year with Rescue Street for his forever family, Timon is more than ready to bring joy and companionship into your life. Could you be the one to offer him the loving home he's been dreaming of? Please visit our website www.rescuestreet.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

We found our sweet Maya about a year and a half ago hiding under my husband’s car at a construction site, and she quickly became part of our family. ❤️Maya is incredibly sweet, loving, smart, and playful. She’s wonderful with our girls, great with other dogs, and loves being around her people.Unfortunately, Maya struggles when left home alone and can become destructive. With our schedule, we aren’t able to give her the time and activity she needs to thrive.We love Maya dearly, so this decision is heartbreaking. We’re not in a rush and simply want to find her the right home—someone who has more time for her and will love her as much as we do. ❤️🐾

Story
Nina is looking for her Perfect Home Nina's perfect home is quiet, steady, and built around companionship. She would love peaceful morning walks through a calm community, then coming home with someone who works from home, is retired, or simply spends much of their day there. She bonds closely with her person and seems happiest when she can be part of the ordinary rhythm of their life. Her favorite evenings are easy ones: settling onto the couch beside her person while they brush her, hanging out together, and knowing she has nowhere else she needs to be. A home where she can relax freely and rarely needs to be crated would suit her especially well. Nina has lived around other animals in foster care and boarding and has shown that she can be friendly and respectful with both dogs and cats. Her best animal companions are calm, easygoing roommates who enjoy sharing a home without constantly demanding her attention. She is especially well suited to animals who are comfortable letting Nina have a close relationship with their human. She also appreciates having clear ownership of the things that matter to her. In previous homes, Nina has guarded food and toys from other dogs, helped herself to other dogs' belongings when competition developed, and become vocal when another dog crowded her during time with her person. Separate feeding, individual high-value items, and calm dogs who are comfortable giving one another space make those situations much easier for her. Nina has also shown that she can be good with children who are calm and respectful of dogs. She responds best to predictable interactions and a quieter household, making older, dog-savvy kids who understand personal space the strongest match. At heart, Nina is a deeply affectionate dog who wants a steady relationship with someone she can trust. Her ideal life is made up of quiet walks, a peaceful home, compatible animal friends, plenty of time near her person, and evenings spent curled up together on the couch. For someone whose own version of a good life looks much the same, Nina may fit into it remarkably well.
