Story
I adopted Wuggy last year from what I believe was an abusive home. They had other dogs who bullied Wuggy and he was also known as the “garbage” dog because he would have to eat out of their trash. He was abused by the moms boyfriend and he was a completely different dog than he is now. He has come a long way, he is a lovey dovey dog. A dog that likes to be close to humans and especially loves children!! My reasoning for rehoming him is personal. I do not wish to expose myself on here but I am currently going through mental health things and I do not have the time,patience, and money to take care of Wuggy. Wuggy would do best in a family home so he can get lots and lots of attention. The fee is final and I will include his cage,food,indoor enclosure.

Story
Stormy was gifted her name after being rescued from a storm drain. She is a survivor who thrives on attention and relies on her owner for quality time whether it be cuddling or hiking. Her high energy is only outmatched by her intelligence, and she loves dog treat puzzles and bonding through physical activity. Stormy enjoys showing off her training through playing fetch, paw shaking, and sitting. She will attach quickly to her new family though pets, play, and mental stimulation. Her eyes speak her survival story and communicate her loyalty and adoration for her owner. She will be a wonderful addition to any family in need of a lovingly loyal, witty dog, with personality that is only outmatched by her desire for love and affection.

Story
Hi, meet Champ!  Champ is a true gentle giant. We say giant because he weighs in at 70 pounds!  Each of those pounds is full of love, Champ would be happy to sit in your lap and keep you company if only he could fit!  He loves car rides and would be a great hiking companion.  He is really gentle when taking treats or toys, thinks tug-of-war is the best game and is over the moon when he gets belly rubs!   Champ is 3-4 years old. He's house trained and enjoys a good walk. He gets along well with other dogs and is just an all around good guy. Champ has a wagging tail and a goofy smile and can't wait to meet you. He dreams of having a home  and some of his very own people to love.   Champ has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee of $350 helps offset the cost of medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think Champ could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:    https://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 3, 2026, 10:22 pm

Story
Meet Chuck Chuck was supposed to leave the shelter with a foster, but when that person never arrived and had stopped answering their phone, Rescue Street had a decision to make. Chuck was on the euthanasia list because of a painful, long-standing ear condition. We were not going to finish his paperwork, look him in the face, and leave him behind. He spent one night at an emergency foster and has been in boarding since then. Chuck would really benefit from a committed foster home and/or adoption! Chuck is a big, gentle, easygoing boy who loves being close to his people. He rides nicely in the car, accepts handling without a fuss, leans into back scratches, and will happily follow you from room to room. He is treat-motivated and already knows how to sit. His hearing is limited right now, likely because of the severe infections in both ears, so he may benefit from learning hand signals even after his ears have healed. He walks well overall but may pull when he finds an especially important place to sniff or pee. At night, Chuck would prefer to sleep near his person. He becomes anxious when left alone in another part of the house, but settles when allowed to stay nearby. A home where he can be included in daily life rather than regularly isolated would suit him best. Chuck has had a few promising, carefully controlled interactions with other animals. In the shelter he was non-reactive to other dogs when passing by kennels. At his one night emergency foster, he met three dogs through a chain-link fence and through a windowed door without reacting, even when one of the resident dogs became somewhat reactive toward him. Chuck also met a cat while at the foster home. While leashed, Chuck slowly approached the cat to sniff, then immediately backed away when the cat hissed. These interactions were encouraging, but they were not full introductions, so any future introductions will still need to be slow, supervised, and handled carefully. Chuck arrived at the shelter with severe chronic infections in both ears, narrowed and inflamed ear canals, and a swollen pocket on one ear caused by irritation and head shaking. His medical needs include medication, ear cleaning, and continued veterinary care. Rescue Street can explain his current treatment plan and what follow-up care may still be needed. His foster and/or adopter should be comfortable helping with medical care and watching for future ear problems. What Chuck wants is fairly simple: a safe home, people who will let him stay close, plenty of back scratches, and someone who understands what a lifelong commitment is all about. Reach out to Rescue Street if you think Chuck belongs beside you. Please visit our website www.rescuestreet.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
