Meet Salsa! Her name might sound spicy, but this girl is sweet as can be. This blue eyed beauty is young, energetic and loving with the most amazing personality. Nine months have gone by where this sweet girl has gone overlooked. Salsa shown that she walks well on a leash, is very affectionate and loves to play with toys! She’s also a pro at sitting nicely for treats. Every day, Salsa is growing more confident and showing us what a wonderful girl she truly is. Salsa can be shy and weary of new people at first, so don’t take it personal! Once she opens up she’s the most affectionate girl. She’d love a home that can continue to work on her training and provide structure, give her time to build trust along with lots of love. Salsa is smaller in-person compared to photos.

Friends! Help me find the PURRFECT home!! Lolly(white) and Grizzly(tan) are a bonded mother-daughter pair. They will only be adopted together, which has made it hard to place them. They are also nervous dogs who need space and time to warm up. Their purrfect home would be patient and more on the quiet side. They are completely fine with other dogs, but would also be happy to be the only dogs. They actually LOVE kids - so that is a plus. Mommy Lolly is about 2 and Grizzly will be 1 in a few days. They are potty trained and are snuggle bugs once they warm up. They have a reduced adoption fee because they need to go together. They are fine with cats as well. They literally just want a soft bed and a human to snuggle with!

Story
To know Jack is to love him. You could not ask for a sweeter gentler kinder boy. He is part Jack Russell we believe. He’s about eight years old. He has a badly broken jaw in his past, but it does not affect him other than give him some very unique features. It’s part of what makes him adorable. He just had his teeth professionally cleaned. Jack would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loyal dog to sit by their side. He rarely barks and causes no trouble. He would prefer to be an only dog as he does not enjoy sharing his meals. Other than that, he would be fine with another dog as long as they were separated for meal time. We do not know much of Jack’s history except that at some point he was badly injured which at minimum included his jaw and his left eye. Apparently no one took any action to get medical care for him. Now it is too late, but he has learned to live with it and eats just like any other dog. Would you be the person to give Jack a chance? You would be repaid generously with his love and affection. Jack may need a little bit of work in a new environment with house training. We will supply you with belly bands, and any support needed to help with this transition and training. We are working with him here as well. Jack’s adoption fee is $150. This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue! If you would like to be considered to for this adoption or any of our amazing rescues, please fill out the application with the help of this link. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AZST/Dog. We review each application carefully. Please understand that sometimes we get numerous applications for specific dogs and as a volunteer-based rescue, we do not always have the time to respond to each one. We do our best to choose the most suitable home for each dog based on their specific personality and needs. Please note you MAY NOT be contacted for up to 10 days to schedule a meet and greet if your family is the most suitable for this rescue dog. Regrettably, we do not have the manpower currently to contact all applicants. We keep ALL applications in our database so please feel free to contact us when you see another dog of interest. We appreciate all applicants and do our best to pair every dog and family for a successful and happy life.

Story
Meet Avery — your next adventure buddy in a petite package Avery is a sweet little girl we believe is a Rat Terrier mix with the most gentle, loving soul. While she may look bigger in photos, Avery is actually quite petite — a perfect size for cuddles and adventures! Avery is a fantastic walking and hiking companion and truly enjoys being out and about with her person. She rides great in the car once she’s inside, though she can be a little unsure about hopping in on her own at first — just another reminder of her sensitive, gentle nature. She’s a bit shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long for Avery to warm up. Once she does, she loves getting pets and soaking up affection. She takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and has shown no reactivity toward other dogs so far. She’s simply a very sweet, easygoing girl who wants to feel safe and loved. Right now, Avery is living in a kennel, and we know she would truly thrive in a foster or forever home where she can relax, build confidence, and show off her full personality. She’s ready for her next chapter — all she needs is someone willing to give her that chance. &#226&#156&#168 Interested in helping Avery?
