Missy is a gentle, sweet senior girl who has been through so much in her life, and she’s now ready to find the loving home she deserves. At 10.5 years old, Missy spent over three years living in a kennel at a boarding facility after her owner became homeless. Thankfully, our rescue stepped up in October to save her, and while she’s doing well in our care, Missy would love to spend her golden years in a forever home where she can receive the love and attention she’s been missing for so long. Missy is a calm and affectionate girl who thrives in a home setting. She’s fully housetrained, enjoys playing with stuffed animals and balls, and will greet you with her beautiful smile once she feels comfortable with you. While she can be shy at first, Missy is quick to form strong bonds with her people and is a loyal companion. She gets along with dogs her size and is not reactive to others, but she would do best in a home without cats or small dogs. Missy knows basic commands like "sit," takes her food and treats gently, and rides well in the car. She enjoys leisurely walks and would thrive in a quiet home, ideally with no children, as she’s a bit timid around them. Missy truly deserves the warmth and love of a family that will cherish her. Could you be the one to give Missy the forever home she’s been waiting for? If you're interested in fostering or adopting this sweet girl, please reach out to us. Missy is ready to bring her love, loyalty, and companionship into your life.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 18, 2025, 6:49 pm

This beautiful soul loves nothing more than being close to her people. She is gentle, affectionate, and has a heart full of love she’s ready to share. Athena knows sit and shake, takes treats softly, and walks wonderfully on a leash. She has the cutest little nub tail that wiggles nonstop, and she’ll happily flop onto her back for belly rubs — her absolute favorite! She would make a wonderful walking or hiking buddy and the perfect companion for someone wanting a loyal best friend. Because of her medical condition, Athena cannot be spayed and needs her health monitored regularly. For this reason, we are looking for a forever foster in the East Valley, and we will cover all of her medical needs and care. All she needs from you is love, safety, and a soft place to land.  Athena must be the only animal in the home — but don’t worry, she has more than enough love to give all on her own. &#226&#156&#168 Athena is a true hidden gem just waiting for someone to choose her. Please consider opening your heart and home to this amazing girl.  If you are interested in meeting Athena, please fill out the application on our website.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2025, 5:01 pm

This amazing boy is gentle, loving, and so affectionate that he leans his whole body into you just to feel close. One look into his soft, kind eyes and you’ll understand why everyone who meets him falls in love.  He takes treats gently, walks politely on leash, and has a calm, easygoing presence that makes him incredibly easy to love. Kolby loves being around his people — he absolutely thinks he’s a lap dog and will happily curl right into you for love and comfort. He rides beautifully in the car and isn’t reactive to other dogs. If you have another pup, a dog intro is required to make sure they can be friends. He’s unknown with cats and small dogs. Kolby is potty trained and not a fan of being in a crate — he just wants to be close to his humans. He would thrive in a home where someone is home often. He does have some separation anxiety; after being left behind before, he just wants to feel safe and loved.  This boy is a hidden gem. Meet him once, and you’ll wonder how he hasn’t been scooped up already. He’d make the perfect walking or hiking buddy, and an even better best friend.  Kolby is ready for his forever home.

Story
Hi there, future family! My name is Lafonda, and oh boy, do I have a tail&#226&#128&#145wagging story to tell you. I’ve been waiting a long time to share it with the special humans who will someday call me their own. Maybe—just maybe—that’s you. I’m about four years old, which means I’ve got the perfect mix of youthful pep and grown&#226&#128&#145up charm. Back in June of 2025, I was picked up as a stray in Yuma. I don’t remember much about how I ended up on my own, but I do remember how relieved I was when kind people scooped me up and kept me safe. I spent some time at the pound there, dreaming of the day someone would walk in, point at me, and say, “That’s the one.” It didn’t happen then… but that’s okay, because my journey wasn’t over. Now I’m living my best temporary life at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, and let me tell you—I’m soaking up all the love, treats, and playtime I can get. Still, every night when I curl up to sleep, I imagine what it will feel like to finally have a forever home. A place where I can stretch out on a soft bed, chase toys across the yard, and follow my humans around like the loyal shadow I’m destined to be. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or rather, the bald spot on my head. Yep, I’ve got one! When I was found, I had a wound there, but it’s all healed up now. The hair just never grew back, so I rock a permanent little shiny patch. Personally, I think it adds character. Some dogs have fancy markings; I have a built&#226&#128&#145in conversation starter. It makes me unique, memorable, and honestly kind of adorable. I’m all up to date on my vaccinations, and I’ve been microchipped so I’ll never get lost again. That part is really important to me. After spending who&#226&#128&#145knows&#226&#128&#145how&#226&#128&#145long wandering alone, the idea of always being connected to my people feels like the warmest, safest hug. Now, let’s get to the fun stuff—my personality. If you’re looking for a couch potato, I’m probably not your girl. I’m an active, playful, goofy, boxer&#226&#128&#145mix bundle of energy. I love to run, jump, wiggle, and especially play fetch. Oh, fetch. My absolute favorite. Throw the ball once, and I’ll think you’re neat. Throw it twice, and I’ll think you’re amazing. Throw it three times, and I’ll love you forever. I adore people. Hanging out with humans is one of my top hobbies. Whether you’re relaxing, working in the yard, or just wandering around the house, I’m happiest when I’m part of the action. I’m loyal, affectionate, and always ready to brighten your day with a tail wag or a goofy grin. I do need to mention one thing: I’m not good with cats. I know, I know—they’re cute and fluffy, but something about them just gets me too excited. So a cat&#226&#128&#145free home would be best for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a dog who will bring joy, laughter, and endless enthusiasm into your life, I think we might be a perfect match. I’ve been waiting since last summer for my forever family to find me. Maybe you’re the one who will finally say, “Come on, Lafonda. Let’s go home.” If you’d like to meet me—and I really hope you do—please email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I’ll be here, tail wagging, ready to greet you with all the love I’ve been saving up. PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt. Do not e-mail us with a request to call you, if you have a question, please ask in the e-mail.   All dogs are adopted on a first come - first served basis. Central Arizona Animal Rescue is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation. We are located in San Tan Valley, AZ. If you have other dogs already, you must bring them for introduction prior to adoption.
