Story
Pierre is a 6-month-old puppy who came to us from a hoarding and abandonment case in Yuma. Because he spent his earliest, most important months without proper socialization or consistent care, Pierre is still learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family.This sweet boy is not your typical confident puppy—at least not yet. New people, new environments, even simple things like being petted are all still very new to him. But behind that uncertainty is a puppy who wants to trust. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, Pierre is already beginning to show little glimpses of the happy dog he’s meant to be.Pierre’s ideal home is:Quiet and calm, with predictable routinesPatient and understanding, especially with an undersocialized puppyWilling to help him learn at his paceReady to celebrate small victories and offer steady reassuranceHe may need extra time to settle in, to learn what love feels like, and to understand that the world can be kind—but he deserves that chance. With the right family, Pierre will blossom into the loyal, loving companion he’s been waiting to be.If you believe in second chances and have the heart to help a shy puppy grow into his best self, Pierre is waiting for you.

Story
Angel has spent much of his life being overlooked. He came to us from the Yuma Humane Society after spending far too long without a family to call his own. To our knowledge, Angel has never truly known what it means to have a consistent, loving home—and that breaks our hearts.But despite everything he’s been through, Angel still wants to believe in people.Because of his past, Angel carries some deep-seated insecurities. He’s still learning how to feel safe in the world, and he needs someone who can guide him with calm confidence and patience. He’s looking for a person who isn’t just loving, but who can offer the steady leadership he’s never had—someone who can show him that he doesn`t have to be on guard anymore.He’s not the right fit for a home with children or other pets. Angel needs a structured environment where he can truly thrive—where his person is not just a caretaker, but a leader, a teacher, and above all, a friend for life.Angel is an active, playful boy who lights up when he’s outside romping around with toys or exploring the yard. He recently spent two weeks at a board and train facility where he made huge strides. He now walks comfortably on a leash, knows basic commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and has started to understand what life inside a home should feel like. His trainer has generously offered to continue working with his future adopter, giving Angel every opportunity to keep growing into the amazing companion we know he can be.Angel is working every day to be the perfect dog—but maybe you aren’t looking for perfect. Maybe you’re looking for a dog that needs you as much as you need them. A dog who, with patience, guidance, and love, will reward you with a bond deeper than words.Angel has so much potential. All he needs is someone willing to believe in him—someone to give him the chance at life and love that he’s never truly had.Could that someone be you?

Story
Sandy is the shyest soul from the heartbreaking hoarding and abandonment case in Yuma, Arizona. Her journey has been one of survival, and while she may not be the first to run up for pets, she’s already showing us just how brave and resilient she truly is.This gentle girl has every reason to be wary of humans—but instead, she’s choosing to try. Little by little, we see her opening up: a soft tail wag, a cautious approach, a moment of trust when she leans in for a gentle touch. It’s in these quiet victories that Sandy’s spirit shines.Sandy will need time, patience, and a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe. She’s still learning that love can be gentle, hands can be kind, and the world doesn’t have to be so scary. But under that shy exterior is a sweet, kind-hearted dog just waiting to feel secure.She’ll need support learning the basics—walking on a leash, playing, and building confidence—but with time, Sandy will blossom into a loyal and loving companion.If you have a soft spot for the quiet ones and believe in the power of second chances, Sandy is waiting to meet you. Let her show you the beauty of trust, one small step at a time.
