Story
PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY*  Yoda is an adorable one-year-old, 11 pound Terrier/Shih Tzu mix in search of his forever home after being found as a stray.  To thrive in his new environment, Yoda would greatly benefit from an active home with another dog, where he can learn and develop good behaviors through play and interaction. His distinctive name reflects his wild ears and playful expression, reminiscent of the small, wise character from Star Wars.  As a young and active pup, Yoda is full of energy and always eager to engage in play and wrestling matches with other dogs. He brings a sweet and silly demeanor that is sure to charm anyone he meets.   Additionally, having a fenced yard would be an ideal setup for him, allowing him to run and romp freely with his furry friends. With the right companions and space to play, Yoda is sure to flourish and become a cherished part of any family.  Because he was found as a stray, we don't know his history with children, so any children in the home should be older and of a gentle, respectful nature.  He has not been cat tested, so cats are an unknown.  Yoda is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.  If you are interested in this sweet boy, please visit our website at:  https://pwrescue.org and click on the 'Adopt' button to complete an application.  His adoption fee is $380.00.Pathways Home Animal Rescue March 1, 2025, 10:25 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 9 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 best, 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, quiet and low key 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 not suitable 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 November 4, 2024, 2:59 pm

Story
Oreo is a handsome black and white purebred Shih Tzu. He is a sweet and loving as he can be. He absolutely LOVES balls (playing fetch) and water! He is very fun to play with and be around. He really needs a home with a yard. He does not love being around a lot of other dogs particularly dominant male dogs. He is good on walks and good in the car. We do not recommend that Oreo is in a home with small children as he does not like to be cuddled and schmoozed. He is an independent kind of guy. Oreo loves water and playing in the pool. He is loving and playful and loves toys and long walks. He is very well-behaved inside or out. Oreo is approximately four years old and weighs about 14 pounds. Oreo is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Oreo's adoption fee is $350 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!

I found my dog in February in a box outside my work. I took him because he was very calm and friendly. He does love affection and to go on long walks. Unfortunately, shortly after I got him i got a job promotion and am now hardly home and cant give him the time he deserves.

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Meet Frankie!  He is a 3-1/2 year-old, 12 pound Chihuahua/Papillon bundle of joy who's always ready to play. His friendly demeanor and curious nature make him the perfect companion for any adventure. Whether it's a game of fetch or a casual stroll, Frankie's playful spirit is sure to brighten your day.  His sweet personality is infectious and will quickly melt your heart. Frankie loves to run in the yard, showcasing his zest for life. However, his curious nature can sometimes lead him towards open doors, so extra caution is necessary to prevent him from bolting out the door…because if he does, he will run like the wind!  He will need owners who are patient with him and who are willing to be extra super-duper careful around any open doors, etc. until he realizes he’s found his forever home and feels comfortable.  Because of him being a flight risk, he will require a home with a secure fenced yard.  Frankie loves other dogs and would love to have another playful pup in the home to play chase with.  Again, because of him being a flight risk, any children in the home should be older and of a very responsible nature. Frankie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300.00.  If you are interested in Frankie, please visit our website at https://pwrescue.org and click on the “Adopt” button to complete an application.Pathways Home Animal Rescue May 2, 2025, 9:32 pm

Meet Lil Mama!! This little girl is about 3 years old and a tiny papillon mix. She came to us with babies and very angry. Over time she grew to trust and love. Lil Mama needs a VERY PATIENT home who will give her time to warm up to you as she may bite if pushed to fast. Once she knows you she absolutely loves you and will be your best friend forever. She is vision impaired but can see some and gets around just fine. She would do best in a home with little traffic in and out where she can just be one with her people. She is good with other dogs but prefers them to not play with her. Her adoption fee is $100 and she is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. To apply to meet her text 602-908-6215.April 15, 2025, 4:56 pm
