Story
Say hello to Henry! Henry is an approximately seven-year-old, 16-pound male Shih-Tzu mix, available for adoption in Phoenix Az at Chi Town Rescue. Sadly, this is not Henry's first go-round with looking for a forever family. Henry was adopted quite a few years ago from us, but recently turned up as a matted and dirty stray near a homeless shelter in Bisbee. We contacted his owner who said that she had given him to her brother and could not care for him anymore. One of our amazing volunteers took a road trip to Bisbee and brought Henry back to Chi Town Rescue, safe and ready to find a true forever this time around. Henry is a happy, fun, and friendly adult/senior dog. He is social with people and loves cuddle time and hugs. He is also social with other dogs and enjoys play-prancing and a little wrestle-time; bring your dog from home in to see if they will be buddies! Henry also enjoys squeaky toys, fetch, and walks (he walks great on leash). You may have noticed Henry's adorable underbite. We want to mention that per our clinic, Henry does not need a dental at this time; the coloring on his teeth is staining and not tartar. Henry is a great dog who has had the misfortune of finding himself without a home, through no fault of his own. If you've been looking for a mature but fun little dog and can commit to Henry forever, why not come meet him?! Henry's adoption fee includes vaccinations up to date including Rabies certificate, prior neuter surgery, and microchip. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment.  December 24, 2025, 10:33 pm

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Meet Yoda, a 1½-year-old, 16-pound Terrier/Shih Tzu mix with a big personality packed into a petite body. With his wispy “wild child” ears and mischievous sparkle, Yoda is equal parts charm, fun, and heart. Yoda was originally found as a stray and is now thriving in a foster home while waiting for his forever family. He is a very sweet—but shy—boy who needs a patient, understanding home that will allow him the time he needs to feel safe and confident. If you’re familiar with the 3-3-3 rule (and if not, we encourage you to look it up!), it describes Yoda perfectly. He isn’t a dog who will instantly settle in, but with patience and consistency, he blossoms. Once he trusts you, he’s deeply affectionate and wonderfully loyal. An energetic and happy pup, Yoda loves staying active. Long walks, games of fetch, hikes, shopping trips, and patio dining are right up his alley. He would also enjoy having a friendly canine companion to wrestle and learn from, along with a fenced yard for zoomies and sunny lounging. Yoda is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines—fully ready for his next great adventure. Now all he needs is the right person (or people) to take that journey with him.
