Story
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING MIA, PLEASE FIRST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://pepperspals.org/adoption-application/ Mia is a beautiful, 8-year-old, pure-bred American Pit Bull Terrier who loves to snuggle and be with her people. This super-smart girl is kennel trained, potty trained, and good with small animals – including cats! Mia is good with most dogs (after a slow intro), but large dogs and high-energy dogs will not make great long-term companions. The dog park scene is much too chaotic for Mia, and she much prefers quietly lounging in her own private backyard. Yard time is a must for this sunbathing queen! At the end of the day (or whenever you’re away), Mia prefers the peace and comfort of her kennel. The structure of kennel-time helps settle Mia’s mind when she’s alone. Mia thrives in a structured environment where she knows exactly what to expect. We don’t know much about Mia’s past, but it’s clear she was abused and came to us with trust issues. The cool thing about Mia is that she wants to trust and looks to her people for guidance in situations that make her uncomfortable. She is very handler-motivated and excellent at listening to verbal cues. This special girl could use an exceptional dog owner who understands dog communication, is adept at recognizing their body language, and is comfortable advocating for her personal space. Please first fill out an adoption application if you’re interested in setting up an appointment to meet Mia: https://pepperspals.org/adoption-application/ **$100 Adoption fee includes: vaccinations, dewormed, spay, and microchipped.

Story
Tammy is a beautiful dog that was rescued three years ago. We believe she must have been in a bad environment before we got her. She is not a barker and is very gentle. She has been housed with other dogs and gets along fine. She has been with small children and is great with them. She needs a quiet environment and a peaceful setting. Her owner has been gravely ill and we must find her a good home. We love Tammy and want all the best for her.

Story
Hello! My name is Diesel. I’m 2 years old and will be 3 in April. I’m extremely loyal—so much that my human almost renamed me Velcro because I’m always right by his side. I’m house-trained with a few past accidents. I’ve been around other dogs and usually get along, but I prefer being the only pet so I can have all the attention. If you do have other pets, I’ll still try to keep the spotlight on me! I love car rides, have lots of energy, and I’m still learning manners. I pull on the leash, so please don’t let me run free since I like to run off. I’m working on training and wait for permission before eating. I enjoy toys but shred them fast. Recently I’ve become protective of food and treats and may show teeth or growl if another pet gets too close. I’m kennel-trained and usually sleep and eat there, though I also love curling up in bed next to my human. I have allergies, but we haven’t figured out the triggers yet. I just want someone to love—and to love me back. Could that be you?

Story
Brownie is super sweet. I got her from the pound to be a friend to my other dog. I believe she was about 2 or 3 when I got her, now shes about 5. She is great with other dogs and my 3 year old, I'm not sure about cats. She loves to lick you. I believe her previous owner beat her because she is afraid of brooms and runs outside when I need to use mine, she is getting better, but you can still tell. I hate to get rid of her but I have a new job that requires me to be gone for 24 hours at a time. I feel bad I cant give her the attention she deserves and needs and would really like to find a loving home for her and my other dog. If they could stay together that would be ideal. His name is Broly please look for his profile as well.

Story
Shiloh was originally found as a stray and taken in by a kind family.  Ultimately, she found her way into rescue.  Shiloh is an agile dog that loves to play ball and will always play with her doggy friends.  As her name suggests, she is shy when she meets new people, but with patience and positive reinforcement, she will become a happy family member.  Due to her energy level, she would do best in an active, but calm home, and with older children.  Shiloh is good with other dogs, but proper introductions and active oversight are necessary.  She is crate and doggy door trained.   Breed:  Pit Bull Size:  Medium Age:  2-3 years old Gender:  Female Activity Level:  Moderately Active   Shiloh is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $350 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:   https://www.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 21, 2025, 9:41 am

Looking to rehome my dog Patrick. He’s an American pit bull terrier and he’s an adult male. He’s neutered and up to date on all his shots, vaccines, and microchipped. He’s a very fun dog to have and very excited. I can’t take him as I’ll be moving soon and I don’t have space for a pet. He’s very friendly with kids and adults. He does not bark and he likes toys and naps. If you would like to schedule a visit to see if Patrick fits your household, please message me. I’ll have the ownership and all paperwork ready the day of. He also has dog food, collar, leash, a toy and his dog treats. I look forward to meeting whoever his new owner will be.

Scooby is wonderful with people and children of all ages. She is sweet and adorable. Unfortunately, she can't be trusted around other animals. She is my dad's dog and he is now in assisted living and can't take care of her. Everyone I know, myself included, already has animals. I am trying to find her a warm and loving home.
