Story
hi Swiftie, this pretty girl is an approx. 4 year old Maltipoo. She was surrendered to our care from a commercial breeder in Lancaster when she wasn't needed anymore. She is 16 lbs. Swiftie has been a quiet and calm lady that allows us all handling without an issue (including a full grooming). She is a timid pup that is looking for a loving family to help her gain confidence and courage - while her past was not great, she knows it is only good things from now on. She just needs a bit of time and a loving home to help her adjust to this new, wonderful life. She will come spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, 4dx tested. She also had a dental. She would need to meet any resident dogs. If you are serious about adoption, please fill out the adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com Her adoption fee is $475.

Story
Perigrove puppies in nj, I love this pup with my whole heart but he definitely needs more exposure to the world. Extremely anxious around strangers and outdoors, was raised in a not safe area where no walking was possible. Amazing with people kids and other animals indoors. He’s a great puppy, so lovable and deserves someone who is able to train him or help ease his anxiety.

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 15 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)
