Story
MEET  JACK #11!!! Jack is a sweet boy. He does love to play! Jack loves to learn and learns new things quickly! Jack is not real fond of strangers so he will do best in a home that does not have a lot of new people coming into the home on a regular basis. Meeting new people is just a bit too scary for him. Jack is house trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. We recommend only older, (teen and up) considerate children be in the home. This little boy just wants a person who will love him and give him a safe space to be himself. Give Jack a little time to trust, and he will be an amazing boy! Meet Jack today! If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com.  March 7, 2026, 4:34 pm

Story
Hilda is looking for her knights in shining armor! This darling damsel is 9.8 pounds of pure sweetness and curiosity. While she might not know what toys are, she enjoys following her people around the house and getting pets while she’s sitting beside you on the couch or cuddling into a cozy blanket on the bed. She’s had her heart broken in the past so she needs a bit of time and patience, but that just means that you’ll get to see her blossom as she learns how wonderful you are! As her foster mom so eloquently put it, this precious pup just wants to be loved. At five years old, she has lots of love left to give, so come be Hilda’s hero and adopt her today! Good with: Other dogs, snacks, cozy blankets, tagging along to see what you’re doing, gentle pets Not good with: Leashes. She’s a bit scared of leashes, though she’s fine being carried! Housetrained: Yes Breed: Terrier and Schnauzer Size: 9.8 lbs Gender: Female

These pups are in Tempe, Arizona too!

Story
🐶 Coming Soon to a Couch Near You… Jepp: The Lone Ranger of Sassville Rated R for Ruff Behavior In a world full of pack dogs and polite tail wags… One dog dares to walk alone. He pulls. He pouts. He refuses to share his toys. Meet Jepp — a misunderstood genius with a leash and a dream. He’s not here to make friends. He’s here to make statements. He doesn’t play well with others. He doesn’t do cuddles. But he does do drama, suspicious glances at strangers, high-speed leash chases, and emotional breakthroughs over peanut butter. Jepp isn’t just a dog. He’s a one-dog revolution against boring walks, clingy puppies, and small talk. He’s not anti-social, he’s just anti-dog. Other pups cramp his style. He’s got the soul of a misunderstood poet, the swagger of a retired rockstar, and the leash manners of a caffeinated toddler… He’s got the attitude of a cat… And the emotional availability of a houseplant. These days, every dog wants belly rubs… Jepp dares to say, “No thanks, I’m good.” Get ready for the dog who doesn’t fetch. Doesn’t sit. And definitely doesn’t do playdates. One leash. Zero chill. All attitude. Jepp doesn’t do group projects; he is The Project. He’s a one-man wolf pack with a strong preference for being the only four-legged legend in every room. He’s still learning that humans aren’t just treat dispensers with legs. Give him time, snacks, and space — he’ll come around. Think of Jepp as a fixer-upper with a heart of gold buried under layers of “don’t touch me, until you know me.” Jepp thrives with older kids who understand sarcasm and don’t mind a little emotional mystery. Jepp believes walking is a competitive sport. He’s training for the Olympics — you just didn’t know you were his coach. He needs someone who can handle the legend… JEPP. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear harnesses and pull like a freight train. If Jepp were a movie: It would not be on Lifetime, because Jepp does not do basic or basic cable. Save your pumpkin spice lattes for another, little dog. Jepp is a no cream & sugar in your black label dark roast by the gallon guy. If basic cable critics would dare to review Jepp: “Jepp delivers a performance so raw, it chews through the scenery — and your slippers.” — Barking Weekly “A tour de force of canine independence. Jepp doesn’t fetch — he commands.” — The Tail Times “If Clint Eastwood were a dog, he’d be Jepp.” — Paws & Popcorn Now accepting applications for foster or adopter co-stars. Must be teen-approved, emotionally resilient, and okay with being upstaged by a dog. Jepp’s looking for a temporary throne while he waits for his forever kingdom. If you have patience, dark humor, and a love for quirky underdogs (he is pretty short), Jepp might just be your next great adventure. Adoption Requirements: Behavior Consult, No other dog(s) My adoption fee is $350.00 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market -One free private lesson in home or in shelter from Bryana.
