Story
Meet Sonia - once fearful and shy but now spunky and full of life! Sonia has gone from scared in the shelter to safe in a foster home. She has been settling into the home where she is learning life has so much to offer her. Sonia is doggy-door trained and non-destructive in the home. She walks well on leash and responds well to corrections. Sonia likes to be sneaky and try to see what is going on in the neighborhood, door-dashing occasionally but recalls easily back to your home. She knows basic commands and would enjoy someone who can continue her training. She has done well with the resident dog in the home but would require slow, proper introductions. Sonia has done well with the children in her foster home, but any potential human siblings need to understand and respect her boundaries. Sonia is weary of new people so she will need time to decompress and build trust with you. Once she does she's a playful, loving girl. Sonia is a herding mixed breed dog and would do best with an owner experienced with herding breeds and their behaviors. She would thrive in a home that can be active with her, as well as provide structure and routine.

Story
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.

Story
Astro came to rescue under sad circumstances with a torn ACL, although you'd never known the little guy was in pain. He is loving, friendly and playful. He has recovered from surgery, x-rays revealed he is completely healed. and now loves to run. He likes toys, balls especially. He'll play by himself if he has to, but prefers to play with other furry friends or human friends. He loves everyone but is cat-reactive. Astro is a high energy dog so he'll need daily walks and something like a Kong to keep him busy while in his kennel. He is very good on a leash, so much so that his 6-year-old foster sister can walk him without issues. He deserves a loving and caring home he can call his own and get lots of love and attention. Like all our dogs, Astro is neutered, up to date on all his vaccines, micro chipped and had extensive bloodwork done due to his surgery. Astro's adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out an application located under his bio on our homepage www.luckydogrescue.org
