Story
Meet Laverne! Laverne was found matted and dirty. The lady holding her decided she didn't want to do that anymore and was going to let her loose! WHAT! One of our volunteers zipped over to her house and picked her and her buddy Lenny up. We are pretty sure Laverne was used for breeding. Poor girl was a hot mess! Laverne is all cleaned up and has had her medical done. She still had baby teeth that we pulled and an umbilical hernia that was fixed. Her hair is really short. She had to be shaved since she was so matted. She will need regular grooming, once her hair grows out. She is very sweet but a little shy at first. She is looking for a nice quiet home with lots of cuddle time. Laverne is spayed , UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Laverne is approximately 5 years old and weighs 8 pounds. To meet Laverne, please fill out the application https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAWP/Dog

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Who could possibly resist that adorable underbite? Yoda is a 1½-year-old, 16 pound, Terrier/Shih Tzu mix with a big personality packed into a petite little body. With his wispy “wild child” ears and that mischievous sparkle in his eyes, this boy is equal parts charm, fun, and heart. Originally found as a stray, Yoda is now thriving in rescue and ready for a forever home that can match his enthusiasm for life. He’s an energetic, joyful pup who loves staying active—whether that means long walks, fetch sessions, hiking, or tagging along for shopping and patio dining. He’d also adore having a friendly dog buddy to wrestle with and learn from, as well as a fenced yard for zoomies and sunbathing breaks. Yoda is young, playful, and full of zest, so he’ll do best with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and is ready to keep up with him. He meets other dogs nicely, big and small. He can be shy when meeting new humans, but once he trusts you, he’s all in with affection and loyalty. He’s not the right match for someone seeking a calm, low-maintenance companion—this little guy thrives with regular activity and engagement. Families with older, respectful kids are a great fit, and he prefers a cat-free home. Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, Yoda is fully ready for his next great adventure. Now he just needs the perfect person to share it with.  Please visit our website at: https://pwrescue.org and click on the “Adoption Application” button to complete an application.   Pathways Home Animal Rescue December 4, 2025, 7:35 pm
