Story
Meet Lucy Lucy! Looking for a super snuggle buddy? Look no further! This sweet, 5-year-old chihuahua mix is ready to shower a new family with all the love and affection they can possibly handle. Lucy Lucy was found as a stray, but she’s since discovered the pure joy of having a loving family and is on the hunt for her forever home! Lucy Lucy gets along famously with humans and dogs of all shapes and sizes, making friends wherever she goes! She would absolutely benefit from a furry sibling to play with and cuddle up to. This girl has a heart of gold and a gorgeous, soft coat that is just perfect for endless snuggling sessions. Her favorite pastimes? You guessed it – cozying up on the couch or in bed and soaking up all the belly rubs and ear scratches she can get! We're unsure how she is with cats. This loving companion is already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, so she is absolutely all set to join her new family and start her best life. If you're ready to open your heart and home and be absolutely showered with affection, Lucy Lucy is eagerly waiting to meet you! Please complete an adoption application at www.pathwaysforpaws.com. If she fits your family and lifestyle, you will be contacted within 48 hours. Click HERE for the adoption application.   ##2468115##

Story
  Hi, friends, I am handsome Harvey, aka Mr. Harvs. I’m a quiet, mild mannered boy seeking love and companionship. My parent became unable to care for me, and I was separated from my buddy, too, so I’ve been sad and uncertain lately. However, my morning walks get me excited, and you’ll enjoy my proudly strutting alongside you as we tour the neighborhood. Sometimes I get lucky and we also take an evening walk! At home, I love to lay on a lap or wedge myself against you. You will never wonder where I am, because I like to be where you are. If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick, I might be your little man! Here are some fast facts about me: Around 8 years old, neutered and immunized. I just had my nails trimmed, and teeth cleaned! I am very people oriented and really want to please my person(s). Crate trained-I like the safety of my crate. I am learning a few words, and would like to learn more-I like the attention I get during training! Very quiet. I haven’t barked yet in foster!   Good leash manners. Mostly walk in heel position and keep a loose lead. You will notice me looking at you regularly to make sure everything is good. I get along well with the foster dog and have become much braver by watching him and joining in. His puppy energy is bringing me out of my shell! I have been thinking of doing the zoomies with him, but am still a little uncertain. I take treats gently and love when you whisper sweet nothings to me!   My challenges include uncertainty and mild anxiety from all the changes I’ve endured. I’m still grieving my losses. I do, however, take well to encouragement, and am becoming much more confident in my foster home. I need the attention of my own person or people, preferably someone who is home regularly. I would benefit from living with another dog, and I would enjoy it, but really want to attach myself to a human!   I am a loving little gentleman and my soulful eyes will melt your heart.   If you are a good fit, please apply. Let’s do great things together!   Harvey is adoptable to homes in Tucson, Marana, Catalina, Sahuarita and Oro Valley only. His adoption fee is $275 with an additional $21 for licensing.   Fill out an adoption application at www.tucsoncoldwetnoses.com to meet Harvey!          *Applications to adopt: wwwTucsonColdWetNoses.com Home Visit / ID and Residence Verification is required.  Compliance does not imply or guarantee adoption.   Approval is the sole discretion of CWN representative(s).

After a fun-filled day, he’s all about cuddles and will happily snuggle up next to you or curl up in a cozy lap. About Hopi: Friendly, affectionate, and well-mannered, Obedient and eager to learn. Loves attention but can also entertain himself. If you're looking for a sweet, sociable, and loving companion, Hopi is your guy.

He has had 2 vet visits, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated - DHPP x 2 (needs 2 more to be fully vaccinated and is provided by GTDR), Rabies (when old enough), & Bordetella x 2, a 4 DX test (testing for Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), two dewormings, and 2 fecal test.

Story
Sweet Kaia girl is yearish old Siberian Husky that was found in a ditch. We attempted to reunite her with her original owner, but they no longer wished to have her. We decided to take her in until we find her the best home! Kaia is the best cuddle partner and loves to be loved! She does great with dogs and loves to play. She is still learning not to put everything in her mouth due to her previous experience of food restriction, which we assume was due to long months of not having food while on the streets. We are ideally looking for an active house that can meet/match her needs. She thrives when she can walk/run every day! She still needs some training, but does great on a leash.
