This lovely lady enjoys spending her days sunbathing, receiving belly rubs, and playing with her foster siblings. She plays fair and would prefer an environment of animals her size that are just as friendly as she.

Story
MEET THOR #8! Thor is a 64 lb senior sweetheart with a big heart. Found tied to a park bench and later placed on the euthanasia list at county shelter after refusing to eat, Thor has been through more than his fair share of heartbreak. But thanks to a loving foster, he’s now rediscovering joy — and he's ready to find his forever home. Despite his age, Thor is still full of life. He loves playing fetch (yes, he even brings the ball back!), enjoys car rides, and finds comfort in his crate and toys. He’s house trained, gentle with older children, and does well with cats. His interactions with other dogs are unknown, so a slow and careful introduction would be necessary. Thor takes time to feel safe and trust new people, but once he does, he’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. His ideal adopter will be patient, kind, and experienced — someone who understands that rescue dogs come with history, but also with the most rewarding love. Thor Would Thrive In a Home With: • A calm, patient environment • Older kids or a quiet adult household • No other dogs or very slow intros if present • A secure, fenced yard (6 ft required) • Someone who values companionship over constant activity Thor is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to spend his golden years in comfort, safety, and love.

Bennington is a Sharpei mix weighing about 65 pounds.As many Sharpeis do, he had some issues with his eye lids and had surgery to correct that while in rescue. All went very well and he's fully healed and ready to see the world.Bennington is a wonderful dog! He's happy-go-lucky, loving and very loyal. He's house trained and has been a joy to be around in his foster home. He's very well behaved. He's athletic and strong and would love to go on hikes and walks with you. Camping also sounds like fun!We think he would be happiest as your one and only pet. Bennington is neutered, vet checked, current on vaccines, licensed and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300.Contact Carrie On Rescue if you have any questions about Bennington or would like an application for him:email: carrieonrescuers@hotmail.comtext: (480) 603-7680Please note: we only do adoptions within the state of Arizona.

Story
HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS aka HONEY B IS READY FOR HER DO-OVER! Let’s just say Honey B did NOT win the crappy-owner lottery. In fact, her previous owners took “dumping your problems” to a whole new level — they literally threw this sweet girl out of a vehicle onto a busy overpass. So yeah… we’re going to go ahead and give those people a solid 1-star review. Would not recommend. Thankfully, Honey B is ready to leave that nonsense in the rearview mirror and get on with the important stuff — being loved, spoiled and discovering that life can actually be pretty darn good! ❤️ Here’s what we know about our girl: DOG FRIENDLY! Honey B would LOVE a confident doggie friend who can show her the ropes. She’s basically looking for a canine life coach — preferably one who is good at teaching important subjects like how to get treats, where the best nap spots are and how to convince your humans that you definitely need another snack. HOUSE TRAINED! Because apparently some things in life should be easy. ️ DOING GREAT WITH HER CRATE! She’s figuring it all out and doing a nice job. LEASHES ARE A LITTLE SCARY RIGHT NOW. But give this girl a couple of weeks, some patience and a good doggie role model, and we think she’s going to discover that pack walks are pretty awesome. Baby steps, Honey B. We’ve got you! Honey B will be spayed and have her Entropion surgery prior to adoption. This girl doesn’t need someone looking for a perfect dog on Day One. She needs someone willing to give her a little time to realize that cars are for RIDING IN, not ejecting passengers from. Give her patience. Give her a doggie friend. Give her a comfy bed and approximately 47,000 kisses. We have a feeling Honey B is going to be one very happy girl. ❤️ Fostering in Phoenix, AZ Her past was awful. Her future is completely up to us. Let’s make sure the rest of Honey B’s story is the good part    October 6, 2026, 1:48 pm

Story
☕️ Meet Brutus Cappuccino — 37 Pounds of Wrinkles, Smarts & Personality! Brutus Cappuccino is coming to Pei People from a family who had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender him because of allergies in the home. He was very loved, and this was absolutely not a decision they wanted to make. Sometimes life and medical issues force impossible choices. ❤️ Now let’s talk about this ridiculously cool guy… Clearly, Brutus is not 100% Shar Pei. And honestly, the running joke around the rescue is that very few Shar Pei would be motivated enough to learn all the commands and tricks this guy knows! Brutus is SMART. Like, really smart. He’s fantastic with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages—young, old, big, little—and he LOVES to play. A playful canine companion in his forever home would be a huge bonus. And yes… he’s completely house trained. Then there’s that coat. His gorgeous cappuccino coloring and horse-coat-like texture give him a look all his own. Add in those Shar Pei wrinkles and his compact 37-pound frame, and you’ve got one seriously unique package. ☕️ Looking for some wrinkles but maybe wanting to avoid some of the classic Shar Pei health concerns? ☕️ Looking for a smaller dog with a BIG personality? ☕️ Or maybe you just want a ridiculously smart dog who can impress your friends with his tricks? Brutus Cappuccino might just be your guy. Fostered in Phoenix, AZ  October 6, 2026, 1:48 pm

Story
This girl will literally knock your socks off with her sweet personality and wrinkles that never end...we are still not sure its a good thing but what are we going to do at this point? She was found as a stray in west texas and with the help of some amazing partners made her way to Tucson AZ.  She snorts like a little pig and will literally lick you to death. The shelter estimated her age at 7 but we are chuckling a bit at that estimate as her teeth are sparkling white. We are excited to get her seen by our vet and come up with a treatment plan. She will need entropion and guessing a brow lift to give her better vision. Her skin is in shockingly good shape but she good use to put on a few pounds. She is great with other dogs and falls into the category of an easy peasy foster. She is completely house trained.  She is fostering in Tucson but will be moving to Phoenix in September.October 6, 2026, 1:48 pm

Story
Meet Buddha! This handsome 3-year-old cream/blond Shar-Pei is ready to steal hearts and find his forever home. Buddha is a neutered gentleman with a heart of gold and a laid-back personality that makes him an easy addition to any household. Social Butterfly: Buddha loves people and other dogs alike! He's friendly and welcoming to strangers, making him a great companion for families, singles, or anyone who enjoys an outgoing pup by their side. On the Road: Car rides are no problem for Buddha — he may whimper a little at first, but settles in nicely for the journey. Leash Manners: He's good on a leash and enjoys his walks, though he's still working on not tugging. With some continued practice, he'll be a leash-walking pro in no time! Gentle Soul: Buddha hasn't shown any growling or aggression, and he respectfully keeps off the furniture — he's a polite house guest! Things to Know: Buddha is a bit sensitive to loud noises like ambulance sirens, so a patient, understanding home will help him feel secure. He hasn't discovered a love for toys yet, and he's a bit particular about treats (he preferred his pot roast served on the floor rather than by hand!) — but every dog has their own quirks, and we're excited to see him blossom as he settles into a loving home. Buddha is looking for a patient family who will give him time to come out of his shell, build his confidence, and maybe even discover the joy of a good toy or two. Could that be you? Buddha is fostering in the Tucson, Arizona area and weighs about 48 pounds.October 6, 2026, 1:48 pm

Story
Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Shelley, 310-344-1722, shelleycampeau@gmail.com:   MEET BEANS #2!! Temperament: Sweet, curious, and sometimes a little goofy. Loves to roll around and lay upside down on his back. He does have some separation anxiety – currently still managed with his trazadone from the shelter and being crated when I’m not in the home   . With a stable routine and happy home, I think this can be worked on and I think he’d do fine left alone outside of the crate. He has not shown any destructive behaviors. He has not shown any resource guarding with toys, treats, or food with me. Training: House- and crate-trained! He is a gem in the crate - happily goes into it with a couple treats when I leave the house (lays down and naps the whole time) and during the night for bedtime (he loves his green bean treats for nighttime). He knows “sit”, “paw”, “down”, and “wait” (for the okay to have his food). He’s very food motivated so he’s eager and easy to train. Activity level: Beans is always ready for a walk or other adventure, but he also loves a good nap on the couch. Want to go on a long walk or hike? Heck yes. Want to have a lazy Netflix day? Also yes. He’s the best of both worlds! He would do great in a home with a yard where he can roam and play, but he’s done well in an apartment with a couple good walks a day and a few potty breaks. A low-key routine is all he needs to stay a happy boy! Leash & social behavior: Mostly a loose-leash walker - he can pull a bit when he’s excited or he sees other dogs, but can be redirected with treats, especially at distances greater than ~50 ft. He’s pretty good with meeting people on walks and has been good with older children (10+; unknown with younger children or babies). He does have some stranger-danger for some people, so slow introductions and introducing people outside of the home have worked well. He’s done fine with both female and male sitters/visitors. Beans’ PACC notes recommended no other dogs due to behaviors noted in playgroup and dog introductions and an altercation with a small dog in his last foster home, so he’d be best as the only animal in the home. Reactivity: Leash reactivity - Beans will pull when he sees other dogs, but can be pretty easily redirected with treats and command if the other dog is ~50 ft or more away. He does not bark, growl, or bite at the leash when we’re on our walks. He is more reactive to small dogs (any kind) or larger dogs who appear reactive or aggressive towards him.  Barrier reactivity noted in his shelter notes. Also, I observed it in unknown, confined spaces where I think he feels threatened (e.g. vet office). His body language is very telling when this occurs - stiff body, straightened tail.  He can get startled easily, so as with most shelter dogs with unknown pasts, no surprise/forced handling. Other highlights: He is great on car rides, long or short. He is great at catching food or toys when you toss in the air. He is absolutely OBSESSED with playing in the hose! He has the cutest snores when he sleeps. He’s an A++ cuddler and napper – will snuggle up next to you on the couch or even come up on your lap (who doesn’t love a 50+lb lap dog?!)

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Aura, 480-865-5396, aura092204@gmail.com:   MEET LUCY #16!! Lucy's owner has had her for over 2 years and can easily say that she is one of a kind, simply the best dog ever. Her current owner feels extremely lucky to have come across a dog like her. She is making the heartbreaking decision to re-home her due to a multitude of personal reasons. Lucy will be an amazing dog. She deserves a family that can be active with her, continue training her and loving her to the fullest. She is an incredibly sweet dog with a silly, happy-go-lucy personality. She thrives on routine but can go with the flow most of the time, too. She’s a bit of a Velcro dog, but she does enjoy her “me-time” from time to time. She gets the zoomies frequently, loves to play keep-away with toys, cuddles and gives kisses all the time, she loves to be active but knows when to chill out on a lazy day. Lucy knows several commands and is very food motivated & eager to learn. She is housebroken and rarely gets herself into trouble. She’s honestly extremely well behaved considering what she’s lived through. The most she will do is get into the bathroom trash if the door is left open or dig outside occasionally, though this one was mainly when she was younger. Lucy has been left alone outside of her crate for more than 10 hours but eats in her crate and hangs out there frequently. She does not run out of the door. Lucy will probably do best as the only dog. She shows some resource guarding toward high value items. Lucy also has some reactivity to male strangers. After a proper introduction, this is not an issue. Lucy is a great dog overall that is looking for a new home to call her own. Meet Lucy today!
