Story
Misa is a sweet, loving, gentle dog. She is a "designer dog" - half Yorkie, half Maltese that I purchased in a pet store 10 years ago. I didn't intend to get a dog that day, but she was in a brood of puppies all rolling and playing, and she stood off in the corner, not wanting to be involved in the rough play. She is a little princess who deserves to be spoiled and the only dog in the home, as other dogs tend to bully her with her timid nature. She needs to be with gentle, kind people, as she gets nervous around shouting or loud noises. She has hair - not fur - so she needs regular haircuts and grooming, and is "hypoallergenic" to those with fur related allergies, and she does not shed. She loves all dogs and people, but does not like to roughhouse. She loves walks. She has a doggie door and uses puppy pads at night when closed in. Her rabies shots are up to date, but not the other shots.

Story
Wilson We’re excited to report that Wilson has been neutered and vetted and he’s ready for his forever home. He require someone who’s very patient and the light handed. He’s still at the point that if his trust is broken, he could quickly revert. Certifiably good with other small pooches He’s a sweetheart and really loves companionship. He doesn’t seem to need another dog in the family even though he doesn’t mind them. Just his human is fine. He’s still fearful of any collar “sometimes”. That’s going to take a long time to get over. So we’re using a harness. He’s been making great progress with the collar the past week aside from the occasional flashback. It’s the putting it on part that he thinks is still scary sometimes. Someone definitely very aggressively approached him from the front at some point. It took him a few days to face me squarely in the very beginning. We’re using a harness. He’s a ham for dinner time. 🍽️😆 📍Located in Cave Creek, AZ Adoption application link: https://airtable.com/appLYepkMeqjx3Tjh/shrtcmS9tSiQOdxMN

Story
Let’s give Gerold a chance! He’s around 1-2 years old and so tiny and cute. Maybe around 8-10lbs of floof!   He will be very scared of you at first. You need to ignore him until he comes to you. Once he knows you he loves you deeply and forever and is the best boy!! Good in a kennel and house trained. He prefers to be the only dog. Single person adult home only. His adoption fee is $100 he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Text his foster mom at 6029086215 to meet him.  December 27, 2025, 6:40 pm
