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.

Australian Shepherd

Story
Troy is a smart, funny, enjoyable dog. He is a quick-thinker and very playful and energetic. He somehow plays to the audience while on the leash and is a show-stopper. Handsome and confident, with an engaging smile and a variety of expressive ear positions! #charisma   Troy takes treats carefully but firmly :) and his eyes are continually dancing as he is very happy to meet (and impress) new friends. He is irresistible and needs a breed-savvy guardian who'll guide him to reach his very best potential. May excel at not only obedience but agility?   Troy has played well with some similar-sized herding breed dog friends - after careful introduction by trainers. His confidence has helped to encourage shy new dogs to join in the fun. However, Troy can appear relaxed yet be suddenly assertive, so needs a home with Aussie-savvy adult guardians where he can be the center of attention. While he is likely able to navigate older, polite children, he needs adults to make decisions for him.   Troy 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.

Story
Jack has come a very long way! He loves life and has made so many friends. He takes treats gently and loves to run and play hard! Jack continues to look for his "one and only" as he is very definitely a one-person dog. Jack requires a large private, fenced yard to enjoy off-leash play. Apartment life is not appropriate for him as he likes to share his space with a human who he knows well. If you believe you're a possible match for Jack based on the detailed profile posted on our website, please complete our online adoption application. Discussion about a dog - including scheduling a home check - cannot occur until we have received your completed adoption application.

Story
Hi, I'm Layla! I've spent many joyful years perfecting the art of making humans smile. I love gentle strolls, cozy naps, and being brushed; seriously, it's my spa day. My heart is big, and I’m always ready to share it. I’ve mastered the art of companionship, knowing just when to offer a comforting nuzzle or a soulful look. I do ask for one thing: I’d like to be your one and only dog. I’m not into canine roommates; I prefer to keep all the love (and brushes) to myself. If you're looking for a wise, affectionate friend who cherishes quiet moments and gives world-class snuggles, I’m your girl. Come meet me and let’s turn your house into a home. I must be the only dog in my new home My 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 For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.
