Story
Timone is a very sweet kind of stand offish dog. My parents initially got him with his two brothers. Unfortunately Timone and one of his littermates fought a lot, so my mom ended up giving him to me. He is a really smart and cheeky pup! Unfortunately living in an apartment complex has made him reactive to other dogs. He is incredibly stressed every time he goes for a walk and we unfortunately do not have the financial availability to get him the proper training. He really needs to be in a house not an apartment, he loves having a backyard to run in.He loves oatmilk mint ice cream and steak.

Story
Well hello there! We are Champ and Pepe, and we are poised to steal your heart. Champ is a 10 year old 20 lb ShihTzu/Poodle mix and Pepe is a 10 year old 8 lb Poodle/Schnauzer mix. (A Shih Poo and a Schnoodle, how cute are we?) We came to Forever Loved after our owner passed away, and in the blink of an eye, we were suddenly homeless. We have been so grateful to them for taking us in and getting to know how perfect of a pair we really are. We are the best of friends, and can often be seen sitting together on our chair, or laying together on a bed. When we go out to the play yard, we are not so “joined at the hip” that we can’t be apart - Champ loves to play fetch with the tennis ball and Pepe loves to find the closest human for some snuggles and petting. We are both reliably house trained, we keep our kennel clean and tidy, and we don’t fight over anything! We both love petting and affection and Champ will nudge you gently for more. Pepe will do a darling little dance for you, and how can you resist our darling faces? We aren’t loud and barky, and we ride nicely in the car. We can go for easy walks, but you won’t find us misbehaving if we don’t get vigorous walkies. We both have some luxating patellas in our rear legs, but we don’t need medication or pain killers. What that means is that when we walk quickly, we have this wonky gait, so don’t be alarmed. Pepe’s bloodwork came back with zero concerns and Champ shows indication that in the past he has had Valley Fever. The vet said that Champ will benefit from some weight loss which will help with his gait, and Pepe is just perfect! We were both great for bathing and grooming, and make sure you know that we will benefit from regular haircuts to keep us looking as adorable as ever! We are good with other dogs, and really, adopting us as a pair will be easy-peasy. You will get twice the love and laughs, and your heart will be twice as full. Just look at our precious faces and apply to meet us. You will be glad you did, we promise!

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
Sammy is a darling blond, 2 year old Shih Tzu boy who is ready for his forever home. Sammy walks well on a leash and doesn't pull. He knows how to sit when asked and he is very playful. He is a very calm boy and quite the snuggle bug. He is not crazy about cages but is pad trained. He will potty outdoors if you take him there. He is missing an eye that he lost as a pup but he gets along fine without it and it has been properly closed. He likes to sleep with his person at night if he can. Other than being a bit protective of his food he gets along with other dogs but he would do fine as an only dog we believe. He is fully vetted and ready to become part of a new family. Sammy is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Sammy's adoption fee is $400 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.

Story
Meet Dude and Ledi, the dynamic duo of canine cuteness! Ledi, the outgoing momma, and Dude, the slightly nervous but oh-so-sweet dad, make the paw-fect pair. At 1 and 2 years old, these two are the embodiment of love and companionship. They're great with dogs of all sizes and adore older children, but they've got a bit of a rivalry with our feline friends. Don't worry, though, they're working on their manners! With their doggy door training mastered and potty training well underway, these furry pals are making strides every day. But what they excel at most is giving hugs and cuddles—nothing warms their hearts more than snuggling up close to their humans. Ledi and Dude are inseparable, bonded through and through. They need to be adopted together to keep their loving family intact. So if you're ready to double the love and laughter in your home, Ledi and Dude are eagerly awaiting their forever family!
