Story
Available for Adoption – Meet Saffron! Saffron is a happy, fun-loving pup with the perfect personality—a wonderful mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles. He is incredibly sweet and gentle, with a sensitive, thoughtful side that makes him extra special. Though he’s the runt of the litter, Saffron doesn’t let that hold him back. He’s confident without being pushy and simply walks away from any bullying, showing his calm and mature nature. He truly has an old soul and loves cuddle time just as much as following along to supervise yard work (he takes his job seriously ). Sweet, gentle, and affectionate, playful yet calm and cuddly, well-mannered, obedient, and smart, confident but easygoing, learning basic commands: come, sit, down, off, leave it. Saffron would thrive in a loving home where he can be part of daily life and continue learning and growing with his people. He is working on crate/potty training, great with kids, cats and all dogs. Saffron has had 2 vet visits, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated X 3 DHPP (Needs 1 more DHPP and is included), Bordetella, Rabies when old enough, had a 4 DX test (testing for Heartworm, Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), two dewormings, and fecal test. Adopters will receive all original paperwork, a 14-day health guarantee, a collar, harness, leash, seatbelt lock, and a week's worth of food, toys & a bone. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and are by appointment only. We are located in Mesa near Gilbert/Brown & offer flexible hours for meet-and-greet appointments.

Hello, My name is Sarabi! Meet Sarabi! This gorgeous 70-pound shepherd mix is bursting with personality and energy! Sarabi is a true goofball who loves to play rough and rowdy with her doggy pals.

She greets everyone with a wagging tail and a big smile, always ready for attention and affection. Because of her enthusiastic play style, she’d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with her zest for life. Sarabi thrives with active families who enjoy outdoor adventures and ideally another playful dog to be her buddy. If you're looking for a loyal, lively companion who will keep you laughing and moving, Sarabi might just be your perfect match! Her adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
Austin was a bit shy at first, but has really come out of his shell. He is delightfully gentle and  is thriving. Austin is treat-motivated, which is helpful with training. He is cooperative and willing on leash, and he is learning to interact with new people. Austin  soaks up kindness and has a lot of fun running and playing with his new dog friends. Austin needs a similar-size dog friend in his new home, and a private, adjacent backyard to run and play. His sister, Marla, found her new family weeks ago so it is Austin's turn! Austin will be placed in the Phoenix metro area, for proximity to our rescue (home checks, follow up visits, visit to finalize adoption) and for access to our veterinarian. Our adoptions begin with a Foster-To-Adopt period, which is not feasible with remote placements. If you believe you're a possible match based on the detailed profile posted on our website,  please complete our online adoption application. Discussion about a dog, including scheduling a home check, can't occur until we have received your complete adoption application. Thank you!   https://betterdaysrescue.org/adopt.html   October 29, 2025, 3:08 pm
