Story
Hello, my name is Luna. I will like to start off by saying that I am a shy girl. I would prefer to take things slow when we meet each other. Some patience and treats will do the trick! When I get comfortable I enjoy affection and getting all the pets! I love to spend quality time with my favorite people. My favorite way to spend quality time is to go on walks! When I start my walks I get really excited and do pull a little, but as the walk goes on I do better. So, if you`re looking for a hiking buddy I will be the perfect fit for you.**Only Animal****No Young Kids/ Bite History**Ask for further information

Story
Hello friends, my name is Venus. I was wandering the streets for quite some time before I ended up here at the shelter. Do you like to swim? Because I love playing in the water, especially in this Arizona heat! I think I could beat the worlds `Pole Vault` record...I can jump HIGH. I can clear a 6ft fence, or I should be supervised during yard time. I do love my human companionship but if you have a male playful and submissive dog we could have lots of fun. Love and affection from my human is all I want so if you have a home with unconditional love and lots of toys and treats then I would love to meet you. I hope to see you soon.**JUMPER/CLIMBER**

Story
Baby Tahoe had been kept outside his whole life in the scorching heat, deprived of food and water. He depended on a 5 year old to keep him alive. He was super shut down after we got him but after 2 days of patience and help from a dog friend, he came right out of his shell! Now, he's the happiest, goofiest, most social little guy! He's great with all dogs and people. He's UBER smart, great on leash, and is working on basic obedience now! He loves long walks and hikes. His favorite thing to do is running around with some dog friends. He would do best in a home with another dog.

Size

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gizmo was rescued from the streets of Texas where he was dumped by his previous owner. He languished there for a few months while a kind woman fed him eash day but was not able to take him in. Circle 2 Rescue stepped up to save this handsome boy and quickly got him to a vet. At his vet appointment we learned that Gizmo is heart worm positive. The treatment will be covered by the rescue. In his temporary foster home, Gizmo has been an absolute delight! His foster mom introduced him to the neighbor's puppy and Gizmo was so patient and well behaved, even though Gizmo was playing with his ball and the puppy was jumping all over him. Gizmo showed remarkable patience. He has been kind and respectiful of her young kids with closely supervised encounters and is well behaved in the house. His foster mom said he is a dream on leash and he loves to play fetch, even bringing the ball back to you! (this was before we knew he was hw positive). He is so happy and excited to see his foster mom when she returns from work each day from her teaching job. She said he makes her heart feel happy. These things indicate the Gizmo was likely a beloved family pet at one point in his life and he must have been so confused at being abandoned. But he hasn't let his hardship affect his happy attitude. This boy is a love!!  His heartworm treatment is not complicated but involves about 3 vet visits over the course of 3 months.  Gizmo weighs 52 pounds but needs to gain a few pounds. Whilte the vet was not certain of Gizmo's age, he said he is "more than 5 years old" so he could be 5 or he could be 8 or 9 years old. We will try to get a more definitive age for him. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue.  ##2304740##

Story
At about 10 months of age, Bentley has matured into such s great dog! And so handsome with his sleek, black coat. His current owner is gone 10 hours a day with his new job and doesn't have the time that Bentley deserves, Despite being alone all day, Bentley is a good boy and doesn't get into mischief when his dad is gone even though he must be bored. He is all alone in the house with no interaction for humans or other animals. Bentley is such a good boy that he doesn't need to be crated and has free roam to the living and kitchen area. He has been friendly and congenial when meeting other dogs in the neighborhood but hasn't lived with another dog. His first owner lost his job and then his home and was living in his car. Bentley's current dad took him in so he wouldn't have to go to the shelter but knows that he deserves someone who can spend more time with them. He is about 45 lbs. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue.  ##2313399##
