Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Maryland was surrendered to Pinal County Animal Care and Control last summer when another rescue closed its doors. She’s a resilient girl who has sadly spent much of her life in a shelter environment or confined to a crate and routine lifestyle.But that’s not the end of her story — it's just the beginning of her journey to healing and hope. For the past 8 months, Maryland has been soaking up love and care at ANM, and she’s become the sweet, affectionate companion we know and adore. Despite all her progress, she still hasn’t received a single adoption application. Why Maryland is special: 🐾 Loves cuddles and attention 🐾 Energetic, playful, and active 🐾 Knows basic commands and is improving on leash skills 🐾 Takes treats gently 🐾 Would prefer to be the only pet in the home

American Staffordshire Terrier

Phoenix, AZ

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Bau — our incredibly sweet, resilient girl that is flourishing in her foster home but sadly continues to get overlooked. Her foster reports that Bau is amazing in the home. She can sometimes be shy but once she warms up to you she’s very friendly and sweet. She’s non-destructive and is fine being left alone for a full work day. Bau sleeps amazing on her bed at night and is quite polite, only jumping on your bed when invited. Bau is great on leash, non-reactive to dogs when passing and when she decides to pull she listens to corrections nicely. She knows basic commands and would love to learn more! She can sometimes get nervous around bigger dogs and cars but they’re working on her confidence every day. Bau is an active and energetic girl loving to play with her toys (especially her cow and chicken) and splash in water, but is also quite the cuddle bug. Bau is a fun, affectionate pup ready for her forever. Bau‘s ideal home would be an active family to keep up with her playfulness and someone willing to continue building her confidence. Her status with kids is unknown, but could do well with slow introductions to older kids that understand boundaries.

These pups are in Tempe, Arizona too!

Story
I am a soulful, affectionate pup who craves connection, safety, and a place to truly belong. My early years were tough - I was adopted as a puppy and thought I’d found my forever home, but things didn’t go quite as planned. My first five years were full of changes and uncertainty, and eventually, I was brought back to the shelter. It was a tough time, but I’ve since moved into a foster home where I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I’ve made huge strides in building trust and confidence, and every safe, loving experience helps me grow even more. At 6 years old, I have the maturity and manners of an adult dog, but don’t let that fool you - I still have that inner puppy sparkle, a curiosity and joy that comes alive when I’m given new experiences, fun toys, and time to explore. I love outdoor adventures, cozy spaces filled with pillows and blankets, and keeping busy with my favorite chew and squeaky toys. Belly rubs and booty scratches aren’t just my favorite, they’re how I feel loved, comforted, and safe, and I have no problem making sure my people know when it’s time for affection. I’m treat motivated and eager to learn, making me easy to train and excited to work with people who want to help me continue growing. I feel most comfortable with people who are calm, kind, and patient - folks who let me take things at my own pace but are always there to guide and reassure me when I need it. I need a safe space away from other dogs and lots of hustle and bustle. I thrive on outdoor exploration, mental stimulation, and human connection. I’m very social at heart, I just struggle with trust because of my past, but the more people I bond with the more I learn that I’m wanted, safe, and loved and my personality blossoms. I’m looking for a calm, adults-only home with no other pets, where I can keep growing at my own pace. A big yard or access to outdoor exploration would help keep me engaged, and with time and love, I’ll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Are you the person who can help me keep building trust and discovering just how great life can be? Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, no other dogs, adults only home. My adoption fee is $200 and includes the following: -2 Free private training lessons in-home or at the shelter -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at Choice Pet Market For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.
