Story
Meet Gordo, an adorable 15 pound, 4 year old terrier/shih tzu/poodle mix who is ready to find his forever home!   Background: Gordo was surrendered by his owner with his brother Arnold (also on our site). These two boys lived outside and although they got plenty of love they were not allowed in the home and did need grooming! Personality: Gordo loves attention and everyone is his new friend. He is good with dogs and cats and children. He loves his new short haircut and really did not mind being groomed at all!   Health: Gordo received all shots and will be neutered and chipped on September 12! He is in great health and is loving the new concept of AC!  Training: Gordo is a smart little guy and is learning quickly! He would love to learn from you and loves his walks...and car rides! Ideal Home: Gordo would do well in just about any situation where he can be part of the family! His adoption fee of $350 helps offset the cost of medical expenses that include all shots, neuter and a microchip!. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think he could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application  *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.  September 9, 2024, 3:20 pm

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Meet Ozzie and Oreo, a delightful senior pair of sweet, shy companions looking for a peaceful haven to enjoy their golden years. Ozzie, a Havanese mix, and Oreo, a Shih Tzu mix, are both 8.5 years old and ready to retire in a loving, quiet home. This charming duo seeks a serene environment where they can be the center of attention. They would thrive best as the only dogs in the household, allowing them to soak up all the love and care you have to offer. A home without young children would be ideal, as they prefer a tranquil setting to unwind. Despite their age, Ozzie and Oreo have plenty of affection to give. Adopting them means offering a cozy retreat for their twilight years while enjoying the special joy of their loving companionship. They both have a bit of a vocal streak, making them suitable candidates for apartment or condo living. Ozzie and Oreo are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350.00 for the pair. If you’re ready to provide this sweet pair with a loving home, please visit https://pwrescue.org and click on the "Adopt" button to complete an application.   Pathways Home Animal Rescue September 9, 2024, 12:43 pm

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Meet Lexi, a delightful 1-year-old, 26-pound “American Blend” who is as adorable as she is playful! Lexi joined us when her previous owner could no longer care for her, and now she’s on the lookout for her forever home. We’re not quite sure what breeds make up Lexi’s unique mix—Shih Tzu? Basset? A DNA test might reveal her secrets, but one thing is for sure: she’s absolutely charming. This low-shedding, goofy girl is sweet and affectionate, ready to bring joy and laughter into any home. Lexi loves everyone she meets and would thrive in a home with a yard, at least one other playful dog, and lots of love. She has great home manners and is quite patient. Lexi enjoys running around the backyard, tossing toys into the air, and also has a laid-back side, happily lounging in her bed, eagerly awaiting the next fun activity. While Lexi has lived with small children, we recommend a home with older, respectful kids who will help her continue to be a wonderful family companion. Lexi is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.00. If you’re interested in welcoming this sweet and spirited girl into your family, please visit https://pwrescue.org and click on the "Adopt" button to complete an application.  Pathways Home Animal Rescue September 9, 2024, 12:43 pm

Maxwell joined us when his previous owner could no longer care for him, and now he’s eager to find his forever home. Maxwell is the epitome of a happy, playful puppy.

Sweet and affectionate, Maxwell is always eager to be involved in whatever you're doing. He’s full of charm and loves to give kisses, making him a delightful companion.

Story
Clyde is a sweet 10 year old Shih Tzu.boy who lost his home because after having him 10 years, his owners decided he is not good around their kids. He did not deserve to be given up on just because he is aging. Additionally they allowed him to become very overweight which could definitely contribute to his sometimes grumpy mood. We have not observed any bad behavior here at the rescue. He is really a nice dog, easy to have around and not at all demanding. He is in good health, fully vetted and ready for a new home and a Weight Watchers membership. It is imperative that his new Adopter keeps him on a diet to help him reduce his weight. He's clearly not comfortable how he is. He would love the yard to run around in as well as to bask in the sun. He may need some forced walking to help with retrieving the waistline he once enjoyed. according to his former owners, Clyde is housetrained. Clyde is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Clydes's Adoption fee is $275 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue! If you would like to be considered to for this adoption or any of our amazing rescues, please fill out the application with the help of this link. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AZST/Dog. We review each application carefully. Please understand that sometimes we get numerous applications for specific dogs and as a volunteer-based rescue, we do not always have the time to respond to each one.

Story
Lulu is a cute 6 year old Shih Tzu girl who is laid back and loving.. She is confident and seems friendly with all people she has met. She gets along fairly well with the dogs at the rescue but we feel she would do best as an only dog in an adult home. She walks well on a leash and does well in the car. She is gold and white and weighs approximately 18 lbs but is on the heavy side and could afford to lose a few pounds. Lulu has occasional accidents in the house so she will need close observation and some reinforcement with her training. She loves to play with toys and chew on her bones and treats. Lulu is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Lulu's adoption fee is $375 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue.
