Story
Hi I'm Willow! I like to run, swim, and cuddle in bed! I get along well with humans and other furry creatures. I want to say 'Hi!' to everyone! I know some tricks like 'sit', 'stay' and 'come'. I'm high energy and love to go on walks, hikes, and adventures. Also if we have time for tug of war, I've got a mean grip!

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. 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.

Story
Meet Papi, a sweet little gentleman with a big heart and excellent manners at 11 years young and 20 lbs, this Rat Terrier mix is the definition of easy living. Papi loves people just the right amount—happy to hang out, happy to snooze nearby, and especially happy to cuddle when it’s bedtime. He’s a champion sleeper who will gladly match your sleep-in schedule. Papi is generally a laid-back guy, but don’t let that fool you—walks and car rides are his JAM. He gets adorably excited when it’s time to head out, then settles into a nice, relaxed stroll (even easier when he’s walking solo). At home, he’s a total potty-training rockstar, uses the doggie door like a pro, and allows all handling with zero fuss. He’s lived peacefully with other dogs and mostly ignores them on walks, though cats are a no-thank-you for Papi. Toys are still a mystery to him, but he’s curious about crinkly ones and might discover his playful side with a little encouragement. Papi would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy daily walks, cozy cuddles, and all the love he so clearly deserves. Looking for a mellow best friend with a sweet soul and a cute little strut? Papi’s ready to meet you.

Story
Gatsby and others came out of a hoarding home with too many dogs living in the yard. They were all very afraid of humans who let them down. He's a tiny feisty 9lbs, and loves water! In his foster home he gets along with other dogs big and small as well as cats! His furever home has to have a secure yard (he doesn't even know what a leash is lol), another dog, and adult humans with patience. It might involve a few meet and greets first so patience begins there.if you are interested in meeting any of our dogs, please answer some questions on our website at www.lovefordogs.org/adopt-foster so a volunteer can reach out.

These pups are in Apache Junction, Arizona too!
