Story
Piper is a very sweet dog. She was a rescue from the Maricopa animal shelter. She’s not aggressive and does get along with other cats and dogs and children. She does seem to have a bit of anxiety and is scared often around new people so she tends to hide. I’m looking for a home that might be a little quieter for her ideally someone who can spend quality time with her and snuggles. She loves treats of all kinds and his house trained. She sleeps in her dog bed and in her crate at night or in my room in her dog bed.

Tiger loves adults and bonds quickly with anyone willing to shower him with affection, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend.

He’s smart and eager to please, already knowing commands like sit, paw, and down (especially when food is involved!), though he may show a little selective hearing now and then. He is currently on a special diet to support mild kidney concerns. Banjo is playful and goofy at times, with the cutest little run, but also calm, gentle, and even-tempered. He enjoys leisurely walks where he can stop and sniff everything, and he may give a bark if he hears unfamiliar noises or sees passersby.

Story
Scooby is a handsome young guy with a story that only adds to who he is. After spending six long months in a stressful shelter environment, Scooby is finally getting his chance to decompress and learn what life outside the kennel is all about. He’s still young and full of energy, but he’s also learning how to channel that in the best ways—give him a toy, a puzzle, or something to keep his mind busy, and he’s more than happy to entertain himself. Scooby is a sensitive soul who’s still figuring things out. He’ll need a patient, understanding home that can give him the time and space to build confidence at his own pace. But underneath it all is a loyal, thoughtful dog who’s just waiting for his person to show him the way. He doesn’t need perfect—he just needs a chance.

Story
Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Shelley, 310-344-1722, shelleycampeau@gmail.com:   MEET BEANS #2!! Temperament: Sweet, curious, and sometimes a little goofy. Loves to roll around and lay upside down on his back. He does have some separation anxiety – currently still managed with his trazadone from the shelter and being crated when I’m not in the home   . With a stable routine and happy home, I think this can be worked on and I think he’d do fine left alone outside of the crate. He has not shown any destructive behaviors. He has not shown any resource guarding with toys, treats, or food with me. Training: House- and crate-trained! He is a gem in the crate - happily goes into it with a couple treats when I leave the house (lays down and naps the whole time) and during the night for bedtime (he loves his green bean treats for nighttime). He knows “sit”, “paw”, “down”, and “wait” (for the okay to have his food). He’s very food motivated so he’s eager and easy to train. Activity level: Beans is always ready for a walk or other adventure, but he also loves a good nap on the couch. Want to go on a long walk or hike? Heck yes. Want to have a lazy Netflix day? Also yes. He’s the best of both worlds! He would do great in a home with a yard where he can roam and play, but he’s done well in an apartment with a couple good walks a day and a few potty breaks. A low-key routine is all he needs to stay a happy boy! Leash & social behavior: Mostly a loose-leash walker - he can pull a bit when he’s excited or he sees other dogs, but can be redirected with treats, especially at distances greater than ~50 ft. He’s pretty good with meeting people on walks and has been good with older children (10+; unknown with younger children or babies). He does have some stranger-danger for some people, so slow introductions and introducing people outside of the home have worked well. He’s done fine with both female and male sitters/visitors. Beans’ PACC notes recommended no other dogs due to behaviors noted in playgroup and dog introductions and an altercation with a small dog in his last foster home, so he’d be best as the only animal in the home. Reactivity: Leash reactivity - Beans will pull when he sees other dogs, but can be pretty easily redirected with treats and command if the other dog is ~50 ft or more away. He does not bark, growl, or bite at the leash when we’re on our walks. He is more reactive to small dogs (any kind) or larger dogs who appear reactive or aggressive towards him.  Barrier reactivity noted in his shelter notes. Also, I observed it in unknown, confined spaces where I think he feels threatened (e.g. vet office). His body language is very telling when this occurs - stiff body, straightened tail.  He can get startled easily, so as with most shelter dogs with unknown pasts, no surprise/forced handling. Other highlights: He is great on car rides, long or short. He is great at catching food or toys when you toss in the air. He is absolutely OBSESSED with playing in the hose! He has the cutest snores when he sleeps. He’s an A++ cuddler and napper – will snuggle up next to you on the couch or even come up on your lap (who doesn’t love a 50+lb lap dog?!)

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Aura, 480-865-5396, aura092204@gmail.com:   MEET LUCY #16!! Lucy's owner has had her for over 2 years and can easily say that she is one of a kind, simply the best dog ever. Her current owner feels extremely lucky to have come across a dog like her. She is making the heartbreaking decision to re-home her due to a multitude of personal reasons. Lucy will be an amazing dog. She deserves a family that can be active with her, continue training her and loving her to the fullest. She is an incredibly sweet dog with a silly, happy-go-lucy personality. She thrives on routine but can go with the flow most of the time, too. She’s a bit of a Velcro dog, but she does enjoy her “me-time” from time to time. She gets the zoomies frequently, loves to play keep-away with toys, cuddles and gives kisses all the time, she loves to be active but knows when to chill out on a lazy day. Lucy knows several commands and is very food motivated & eager to learn. She is housebroken and rarely gets herself into trouble. She’s honestly extremely well behaved considering what she’s lived through. The most she will do is get into the bathroom trash if the door is left open or dig outside occasionally, though this one was mainly when she was younger. Lucy has been left alone outside of her crate for more than 10 hours but eats in her crate and hangs out there frequently. She does not run out of the door. Lucy will probably do best as the only dog. She shows some resource guarding toward high value items. Lucy also has some reactivity to male strangers. After a proper introduction, this is not an issue. Lucy is a great dog overall that is looking for a new home to call her own. Meet Lucy today!
