Are you looking for some Gucci Gucci Goo? This distinguished gentleman is new to rescue and is amazing!! He is great with other dogs both big and small. He is an overall happy guy that just loves being loved on! This guy is just as likely to run up to his foster dad as he is to his foster mom. He is already neutered but will have Entropion surgery prior to adoption.  We have him listed as 7 but we are not quite sure that number is accurate. He seems much younger! He loved his car ride and was fantastic in the back seat. Stay tuned as we get to know this hunk of burning love  December 1, 2025, 10:12 am

Check out this cutie! She is tiny at only 30 ish pounds.    She was quickly made adoptable at the maricopa shelter which rarely happens with Shar Pei. She loves everyone she meets.  She loves car rides and jumps right in the car. House training is a non issue. She did great for her first bath! She has had her Entropion surgery and spay. This girl is social and has loved play dates with friends. She is great with bossy females and males. Crate training was a non issue but is totally fine being left home alone.  December 4, 2025, 10:30 pm

Hi, my name is Zyrie, and I know you can't stop staring at my big beautiful nose and muzzle, admit it... Yes, this gorgeous schnoz is attached to fabulous me! I like to lead on walks, ride well in a car, I do like my crate, and I love adults!!! Kids throw me off a little, especially the little ones; I'd prefer to be the center of attention. Oh, and I love other dogs, but I especially like playing with their toys, pawing at them when asleep and having them play on my schedule, so just make sure I get to be in charge!!! I am housetrained, very affectionate, about 54 pounds (I love food and will counter surf), happy to go with you to work (I got to go with my foster dad to his military site and got to meet all kinds of people protecting our country and i loved everyone!!!). I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, micrchipped, and I've had eyelid entropion surgery. So, I'm all set for adoption!!! I am fostering in Tucson, Arizona. Are you my forever home?December 11, 2025, 10:44 am

Story
Oscar has been on quite the journey. He has made the trip from Texas to Arizona to find his forever home and get the medical care that he has been missing.  He is fantastic with other dogs and has a very calm demeanor.  Well we finally found a fault with Oscar! He will countersurf if given an opportunity and guess what he loves salad! He has now been around numerous dogs big and small and has done fantastic. He also loves kids! With his calm demeanor guessing he would be great with cats as well. Riding in the car is a joy with this guy. No trying to get in the front and helping with the driving. No door dashing the minute the car door opens. He calmly looks out the window or lays down for a snooze. He did require a littel boost to get into the car but jumped out on his own He walks great on a leash and doesn't react to the barking dogs around him. This guy would do great in just about any home. He will have entropion, cherry eye surgery and neuter prior to adoptionDecember 21, 2025, 4:24 pm

  Meet Dolce — Sweet by Name, Sweet by Nature     Fostering in Phoenix AZ   Dolce truly lives up to her name — she’s the definition of sweet! This lovely girl has had a bit of a rollercoaster journey and somehow found herself in need of rescue twice. We like to think we’re pretty great at screening adopters, but clearly, Dolce slipped through the cracks — and we’re determined to get it right this time!   She’s wonderful with other dogs and has previously lived with kids. We’re not sure about cats yet, but she’s such a gentle soul we wouldn’t be surprised if she did just fine with a proper introduction. She is amazing with big and small dogs. Her BFFs are a malinois and a shitzu. She has done great with literally every dog she has met.   Dolce is healthy. She walks nicely on a leash, rides like a champ in the car, and has great house manners. This girl adores her walks and will go for miles if you are up for it! She is house trained and crate trained which is huge if you have ever spent months cleaning up after puppies that are not house trained! No one wants their house smelling like a kennel! This girl has amazing skills at making you feel safe in your own home!  She has had some basic training and her foster is a professional dog trainer so she will absolutely come with support for any future training! Have we mentioned how much she loves water? Zero fear of the pool in fact looks at the pool as her own very large water bowl. She will also jump right in the shower with you if given the opportunity.      Her only “flaw”? She doesn’t have that classic Shar Pei look — but what she lacks in wrinkles, she makes up for in personality and heart.   She had her wellness check and her bloodwork was perfect! She has a little arthritis in both of her knees and takes an occasional doggie ibuprofen when the weather changes and she gets a bit stiff.   If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion with a whole lot of sweetness, Dolce might just be your girl. She would be ideal for first time pet owners, seniors looking for that pet to keep them active or anyone that is ready for a full time certified cuddler. We refer to her as a professional couch potato who gets the occasional zoomies She is fostering in Phoenix AZ  December 21, 2025, 4:24 pm

Story
I am a soulful, affectionate pup who craves connection, safety, and a place to truly belong. My early years were tough - I was adopted as a puppy and thought I’d found my forever home, but things didn’t go quite as planned. My first five years were full of changes and uncertainty, and eventually, I was brought back to the shelter. It was a tough time, but I’ve since moved into a foster home where I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I’ve made huge strides in building trust and confidence, and every safe, loving experience helps me grow even more. At 6 years old, I have the maturity and manners of an adult dog, but don’t let that fool you - I still have that inner puppy sparkle, a curiosity and joy that comes alive when I’m given new experiences, fun toys, and time to explore. I love outdoor adventures, cozy spaces filled with pillows and blankets, and keeping busy with my favorite chew and squeaky toys. Belly rubs and booty scratches aren’t just my favorite, they’re how I feel loved, comforted, and safe, and I have no problem making sure my people know when it’s time for affection. I’m treat motivated and eager to learn, making me easy to train and excited to work with people who want to help me continue growing. I feel most comfortable with people who are calm, kind, and patient - folks who let me take things at my own pace but are always there to guide and reassure me when I need it. I need a safe space away from other dogs and lots of hustle and bustle. I thrive on outdoor exploration, mental stimulation, and human connection. I’m very social at heart, I just struggle with trust because of my past, but the more people I bond with the more I learn that I’m wanted, safe, and loved and my personality blossoms. I’m looking for a calm, adults-only home with no other pets, where I can keep growing at my own pace. A big yard or access to outdoor exploration would help keep me engaged, and with time and love, I’ll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Are you the person who can help me keep building trust and discovering just how great life can be? Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, no other dogs, adults only home. My adoption fee is $200 and includes the following: -2 Free private training lessons in-home or at the shelter -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at Choice Pet Market For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.
