Story
Jolene is a 17-week-old, extra-small German Shepherd pup that weighs in at a whopping 16 pounds! We rescued her after she was found in a dumpster with her two littermates. She was the most emaciated dog we have ever encountered. At 8 weeks old, she weighed less than 2lbs. Despite her tough start, Jolene is full of life and the happiest, most outgoing pup you’ll ever meet. She loves people, dogs, cats, and water! She was born with a mild case of hydrocephalus, which causes fluid on the brain. This will not affect her quality of life. Handover Rover will be covering all related medical costs. When she is 6 months old, we will be getting her an MRI with our neurologist to use as a precautionary baseline, but she is ready to go now! Her perfect home would include a family that wants a dog they can bring everywhere! Jolene is super social and loves everyone she meets. She would make a fantastic lake buddy! If you're interested in adopting Jolene, fill out an application!

Story
She was found in a dumpster! Thrown away like trash. AZ Humane reached out to see if we had space. We don't usually take puppies-but Jolene was different. She has hydrocephalus—a buildup of fluid on the brain that gives the skull a dome-shaped appearance. She weighed just 2.6 lbs when we got her. Thankfully, Jolene's case is mild. Our neurologist confirmed she has no neurological symptoms, and said how she presents at 6 months will likely be how she stays long-term. She's currently 8 months old and bouncing around like any healthy puppy. If anything changes later, we'll step in to cover the cost of an MRI-even post-adoption. That's in writing. Jolene is adoptable because she has a clean bill of health, a plan, and a backup plan. Always. The only thing unusual about her now? Her size. She's teeny-just under 30 lbs at 8 months-and looks like a mini pony galloping around. She's a personal favorite. She's spunky, smart and calculating. She would make the best tiny adventure partner. She makes eye contact that'll stop you in your tracks, and she lives for the water! Jolene is an absolute dime piece. Interested in Jolene? Fill out an application at handoverrover.org ✨

Story
Renton Needs a Home – Could It Be Yours? Renton has been waiting patiently in boarding since October. This sweet boy was found as a stray—no one knows where he came from, but we do know where he belongs: in a loving, forever home. Gentle, curious, and athletic, Renton is a beautiful soul who just needs someone to believe in him. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give him just a moment, and you’ll discover a loyal, affectionate companion who’s eager to shower you with love. Renton thrives on activity and would make an excellent walking or running partner. He’s incredibly smart and loves to learn—especially when treats are involved! His curiosity, energy, and playfulness shine when he feels safe and understood. Because fast movements can make him anxious, we recommend a home without young children. But for the right adult or family, Renton will be a devoted and fun-loving best friend. Please consider opening your heart and home to this deserving boy. He’s waited long enough—and he’s more than ready to start the next chapter of his life with someone who truly cares. Let’s get Renton out of boarding and into the loving home he’s been dreaming of.
