Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jepp may be tiny, but he’s packed with personality. This little firecracker has opinions, boundaries, and a whole lot of charm once you earn his trust. He can be snappy and temperamental with new people, but after a few slow, positive meetings (three is his magic number) he turns into a loving, loyal, toy‑tossing goofball. Jepp loves to play and has plenty of energy, but he also has a soft and snuggly side. He has some quirks, including occasional resource guarding, so he needs a home with adults or older teens who can read his body language and respect his space. Jepp would do best as the only pet in the home and will happily soak up all of your attention. Because he can be reactive to unfamiliar people and noises, Jepp will likely do best in a house rather than an apartment, with adopters who understand that slow introductions and patience are the keys to helping him shine. Jepp has been waiting over a year for someone who sees past his tough‑guy exterior and believes in the sweet dog underneath. If you’re ready to take a chance on a small dog with a big personality, Jepp is more than ready to meet you! Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, only dog in home, teens 13+ His adoption fee is $260 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

Story
Unagi is a part of our Bento Box Crew that we saved from a horrendous hoarding case at the beginning of the year. Unagi has been in foster the last few months and has blossomed into the most amazing dog. He is now ready to share that with a family of his own! A snapshot of Unagi: 🥰 Sweet, friendly and affectionate with whoever he meets 💤 Loves cuddling and taking naps in your lap 🐕 Extremely dog-friendly with big and small dogs, has excellent manners, can keep up with all types of play and is respectful of dogs who do not want to engage in play. ✅ House, crate and doggy door trained 🌟 Growing in his confidence thanks to his foster siblings Unagi would love an active home that can keep up with his youthful and spunky spirit with a fellow furry sibling. He’d benefit from a home that can continue some basic structure, routine and training. If you could be the fit for Unagi, fill out an application!

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
Available for Adoption: Meet Lira!Lira is a sweet, gentle girl who came to us as a stray. Unfortunately, she wasn't microchipped, and despite our efforts, no owner was found. It's hard to imagine no one is looking for her because she has been an absolute joy since the day she arrived. Although Lira may be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly and soon reveals her loving, affectionate personality. She is quiet, easygoing, well-mannered, and eager to please. Her calm temperament and gentle nature make her a wonderful fit for just about any family. Lira is learning several basic commands, including come, sit, off, and leave it. She loves spending time with her people and is a true cuddle bug who will happily curl up in your lap for a nap. She is crate trained, mostly potty trained while in our care, and gets along beautifully with kids, cats, and other dogs.If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a gentle heart, Lira could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet this wonderful girl—you just might fall in love! She has had 2 vet visits, is spayed, Microchipped, UTD on all vaccinations, had a 4 DX test (testing for Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), 2 dewormings, and a 1 fecal test. Adopters will receive all original paperwork, a 14-day health guarantee, a collar, harness, leash, seatbelt lock, and a week's worth of food. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and are by appointment only. We are located in Mesa, AZ., near Gilbert/Brown & offer flexible hours 7 days a week. Private message if interested! ##2788865##
