Story
Hello this is Woodson. I took him in as a puppy and he is now 2 years old. Over the past year he has not gotten along with 2 other dogs of mine and want to find him a good home. He’s a sweet boy when alone. Very kept to himself once the zoomies have passed. He is very hyper (he is only 2) but he has not calmed down for me and I have a new 4 month old baby now. He is potty trained and Kennel trained. Since the baby arrived he has been more in the kennel than loose in the house due to him being so hyper and not furniture trained. I do believe he would be a great single dog. I do not have enough help to manage him and my other dogs with a baby.

Story
Cody is a gorgeous, high energy, purebred Australian shepherd. His absolute favorite activity is playing fetch, specifically with a big red ball. He is an exceptionally loyal and lovable dog. He groans when he gets his ears scratched, and his favorite treat is to lick your bowl of ice cream after you've eaten your last scoop. He's about 60 pounds of love, is house and kennel trained, and is a very food motivated and intelligent dog who picks up on training quickly. Cody has already previously been rehomed once by a family with a male dog that didn't get along with Cody. We are currently experiencing issues with him and our toddler, so all this to say, Cody should not be in a home with other male dogs or with small children (10+). He doesn't do well on walks and would require a lot of hands-on training to get good at walking (he barks at other people and dogs he sees on walks).

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
This is Pluto, he is a 5 year old Australian Shepard mix. He is not neutered and we are unsure if he is up to date on shots. He loves cuddles, loves playing fetch, and just needs a good home. He was my adult daughter’s dog who is no longer able to care for him. He is shy to new people and needs an experienced dog owner who can understand his ins and outs. He hyper fixates on the pool and cannot be left outside without a gate around the pool as he will not get out. He tends to be fearful of anything that looks like a stick if someone is holding it. He also does not do well with big dogs but appears to do ok with small ones. We have a mini Daschund he gets along fine with. He does not like cats. Best suited for someone with an active life style looking for a companion. Single animal home would be best with a woman owner.

PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Meet Guinness – Your New Best Friend is Waiting! Guinness is a gorgeous 7.5-year-old, 75-pound shepherd mix with a heart as big as her paws. After patiently waiting for over a year and a half, she’s still holding out hope that her perfect person is out there—and it just might be you. Surrendered through no fault of her own, Guinness has proven time and again that she’s an absolute sweetheart. Incredibly affectionate and deeply loyal, she’s happiest simply being by your side. Whether it’s soaking up belly rubs, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or curling up nearby, Guinness lives to love and be loved. She’s currently carrying a few extra pounds (more to love!), but she’s eager to get back to her girlish figure—and would love a walking buddy to help her along the way. Daily walks and playtime aren’t just great for her health—they’re her favorite part of the day! Guinness prefers to be the star of the show when it comes to smaller dogs, but with a calm, respectful dog her own size—or larger—she may be open to friendship, given the right introduction. She would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and showered with the love she so deserves. A family with older, dog-savvy kids (12+) would be ideal—especially those who appreciate the loyalty and strength of a big-hearted companion. While she’s past her puppy antics, she still has plenty of pep for adventures and affection. After all she’s been through, this amazing girl is simply looking for a soft place to land and a forever family to call her own. Could that be you? Guinness is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
