Story
Meet Ellie! She was born on January 13, 2025. She is a very sweet and playful pup! Once she wakes up she’s ready to go but will slow down towards the afternoon for some cuddles and a nap! She gets along with other dogs but has never been around cats. She’s been around young kids under 5 but they seem to stress her out so I would like her to go to a home with older kids. She is up to date with all her shots and I can provide you with her shot records. She’s not currently spayed but I can set an appointment up for her before she goes to her new home. She’s potty trained for the most part but will have an occasional accident if I forget to open her doggy door. She will come with her crate, a crate mat, food, treats, bowls, toys and a leash/collar set. For any other questions/concerns please reach out to me!

Story
Nutmeg recently turned 1 year old and he has puppy energy. He has been great around our other dog and rabbit. No biting tendencies and knows several commands: sit, no, hungry, potty, go to bed, lay down. He is potty trained by ringing the bell on the front door to go out. He is a friendly sweetheart who loves to show love by kisses. He was adopted through PACC and they are over capacity and have not been able to assist. My long term relationship has ended and I am moving.

Story
Meet Dallas! This 2-year-old girl is sadly being returned by her family due to issues among the pack. Dallas is from a litter rescued in September 2023. We need a foster or adopter who will commit to putting Dallas on a diet to help her shed some pounds. Dallas has been around dogs her entire life, but like most pups, she would benefit from some obedience training. She is a sweet, lovable, cuddly girl. She loves humans of all shapes and sizes, and has experience around toddlers. She is a pit chihuahua mix, and is about medium in size. We do not know how she would do with cats. We feel Dallas would do well in a household with another dog who is relaxed, lower energy, but does like to play sometimes. Please share to help find Dallas a home! If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please visit backthebluepetrescue.org and submit your information. A meet and greet, followed by a home check is required. Her adoption fee is $150. She is spayed, microchipped and we will ensure her vaccines are current.   Her original story back in Sept 2023: Meet the seven amazing ‘City Kids’  - Dallas, Bronx, Philly, Lincoln, Brooklyn, Charlotte and Nashville! This litter of 7 puppies was rescue by a community member in Casa Grande.  The puppies had been found in a ditch covered in garbage and debris.  Based on their conditions, they had been there a while and it was obvious to the finder they had been dumped.  They were starving and had various bumps, scrapes and limps from the conditions they were living in. After full health checks, xrays and antibiotics for their boo boos they settled right into foster care where they have been learning just what it means to be a puppy and to be loved! We have no history on them prior to coming into rescue and estimate them to be around 4.5 months old. We are unsure of their breed but they appear to be a Bull Terrier/Pit mix. Each puppy is unique in their coloring and markings and they are just adorable!July 1, 2025, 9:08 am
