MEET BUCK!!!

Read more about Buck

Buck is a handsome puppy that is always full of energy as most puppies are. He is always excited to see you or meet new dogs. He loves to go on walks and runs which is a great way to tire him out. If you looked up the word "love" in the dictionary. you would see a picture of Buck. Buck is very much a puppy still and needs training. However, with some patience and consistent training, he will be the best boy ever. He is good on a leash so far and doing well with crate training. Sometimes he will bark loudly when he doesn't want to be in the crate, but that only lasts a few minutes before he settles in. Buck was found as a stray in poor condition. He deserves a loving and safe home with people who want to give him the best life he deserves. Meet Buck today!

2. Flaco

Adult (2 years) · Male · Belgian Shepherd Malinois (medium coat) · 20 mi from Casa Grande

Hi, I’m Flaco, and I’m looking for my forever home... again.

My name is Flaco, and I’m a handsome, approximately 2-year-old Belgian Malinois mix with a heart that’s every bit as big as my ears. Life hasn’t always gone exactly as planned for me, but I’m hoping my next chapter will be the one that lasts forever.

Read more about Flaco

Just over a year ago, my brother and I were found wandering the streets of Yuma as strays. Nobody came looking for us, and we weren’t sure what the future would hold. Thankfully, we were rescued by the wonderful people at Central Arizona Animal Rescue. They gave us safety, food, love, and a chance to find families of our own. Before long, both my brother and I were adopted, and it seemed like our happy ending had arrived.

Recently, though, I found myself back at the rescue.

My family welcomed a new baby, and as their lives became busier, they decided they no longer had enough time for me. While it was hard to lose my home, everyone at the rescue has reminded me that this isn't the end of my story. It’s simply a detour on the road to finding the family that’s truly meant for me.

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely love people. Whether we're going for a walk, hanging out in the yard, watching television, or just relaxing together, I’m happiest when I’m near my humans. I’m not looking for anything extravagant. Honestly, I just want to be part of your life.

I also enjoy the company of other dogs. I get along well with little dogs and dogs my own size, and I love having canine friends to spend time with. If your home already has a dog looking for a buddy, there’s a good chance we could become best friends. As for cats, my rescue friends just haven’t had the opportunity to test me with them yet, so that remains a mystery.

I’m told I’m house-trained, which means I understand that outside is the place to take care of business. I also know some commands and have already learned some good manners. Like many young dogs, I would love continued training and guidance. The good news is that I’m smart and eager to learn.

Speaking of smart, let’s talk a little about my breed. Belgian Malinois are known for their intelligence, loyalty, athleticism, and strong bonds with their people. We are often chosen for police work, search-and-rescue, service work, and other demanding jobs because we love having a purpose and enjoy learning new things. While I certainly have that classic Malinois intelligence, I’m also an incredibly sweet and social guy who simply enjoys being around people and canine companions. I would thrive with an active family that can include me in daily adventures, give me exercise, and continue helping me be the very best dog I can be.

What I’m really searching for is someone who won’t see me as a temporary part of their life. I want a family that understands dogs are forever. A family that will celebrate the good times, help me through the challenges, and let me spend every day knowing I belong.

I’ve already been through being lost once. I’ve already experienced coming back to rescue through no fault of my own. Now I’m ready for the happy ending I’ve been dreaming about.

Could that happy ending be with you?

If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a smart and affectionate best friend, and a dog who is ready to shower you with love and gratitude, I’d love to meet you.

To schedule an appointment to meet me, please email Central Arizona Animal Rescue at mike@caaronline.org.

I’ll be waiting with a wagging tail, hopeful eyes, and my heart wide open for the family that finally says, “Flaco, you’re home.” ❤️

PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt. Do not e-mail us with a request to call you, if you have a question, please ask in the e-mail.

3. Buster

Puppy (8 months) · Male · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Casa Grande

MEET BUSTER!!! Buster is still a very young puppy, close to a year old. He has puppy energy and puppy playfulness. As such, he will do best in a highly active home and with a family familiar with continuing regular puppy training skills. He is smart and learns quickly, he's already housebroken and crate trained, AND knows how to use the doggy door.

Buster loves other dogs and would REALLY MOST LIKE another super playful dog to play with! He's great with all people, and absolutely adores kids. A home with children would be ideal for him.

Read more about Buster

He is a good leash walker and a decent car rider! He's still learning basic obedience commands so he will need to have continuing puppy obedience.

Buster is goofy and funny and LOVES belly rubs. He is a great "people" dog, and is happiest cuddling with you on the couch.

7. Dusty

Young (8 months) · Chihuahua / Pug / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Casa Grande

Hi, My Name Is Dusty, and I'm Looking for My Forever Family

Hello there! My name is Dusty, and I'm a little Chihuahua mix with a big heart and an even bigger hope that my forever family is reading this right now.

Read more about Dusty

My story didn't start out the way every puppy deserves. I came to Central Arizona Animal Rescue along with my five sisters after being surrendered from a difficult situation. We weren't the only puppies there. We were told another litter of six puppies had already been given away at a gas station without vaccinations, microchips, spay or neuter surgeries, or any of the things that help keep dogs healthy and safe. There are reportedly even more older dogs still living in the home who haven't been fixed either. The humans at the rescue say this is what happens when animals don't receive proper medical care and responsible ownership. They were also told the owner has struggled with drug abuse, which made it even harder for all the dogs in the home to get the care they needed.

But enough about my past. I'd rather tell you about who I am today.

I'm a happy little guy who loves people, especially kids! I was raised around children and think they're pretty wonderful. Whether it's playing in the yard, snuggling on the couch, or following them around to see what adventure comes next, I'm always happy to be part of the fun.

I also have a special soft spot for adult women. They make me feel safe and comfortable. Adult men? Well, I'm still working on that. I don't dislike them at all, but sometimes I can be a little suspicious when I first meet one. Can you blame me? My early life didn't always show me that every human could be trusted. The good news is that I'm learning every day, and with patience, kindness, and a few treats, I warm up nicely.

The wonderful people at Central Arizona Animal Rescue have worked hard to give me a fresh start. I've been neutered, so I won't be contributing to the cycle of unwanted litters. I've also been vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. For the first time in my life, I'm getting the care every dog deserves.

My sisters are safe too. The rescue is working to get all five of them spayed as soon as time becomes available with their very busy veterinarian. The rescue is doing everything it can, but resources and space are limited.

That's why finding homes for dogs like me is so important.

When you adopt me, you're not just changing my life. You're helping create room for the rescue to save more dogs from situations like the one I came from. Every kennel that opens up gives another dog a chance at safety, medical care, and a better future. The rescue hopes to help as many animals as possible before the situation grows even larger and even more dogs are left without proper care.

And here's something important: even if a Chihuahua mix like me isn't exactly what you're looking for, adopting any dog from Central Arizona Animal Rescue helps. Every adoption opens a space and allows the rescue to continue helping animals in need.

So, what do you think? Could you be the family I've been dreaming about? I promise to bring love, loyalty, smiles, and plenty of Chihuahua-sized personality into your home.

If you'd like to meet me, Dusty, or any of the other wonderful dogs at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, please email mike@caaronline.org to schedule an appointment.

I'm ready for my second chance.

Maybe it's with you.

Love, Dusty

8. Porkchop

Young (7 months) · Male · Mastiff / Mixed (medium coat) · 20 mi from Casa Grande

“Hi, I’m Porkchop… and I’m Ready for My Real Forever Family.”

From the heart of Porkchop himself

Hi there. My name is Porkchop, and yes—I know it’s a funny name. Everyone laughs when they hear it, and honestly, I kind of like that. I’m an 8‑month‑old mastiff mix, which means I’m a big boy with an even bigger heart. I didn’t have the easiest start in life, but I’m hoping the next part of my story is the one where I finally find the family who sees me as perfect just the way I am.

Read more about Porkchop

I was rescued when I was about four months old, standing on the side of the road with my brother. Someone was giving away puppies like we were old furniture, and one of the volunteers from Central Arizona Animal Rescue saw us and knew we needed help. I had never been to a vet, never had any puppy shots, never had anyone making sure I was safe. But that changed fast. They scooped us up, brought us in, and gave us everything we needed—vaccinations, a microchip, and eventually I was neutered. For the first time, I felt like someone cared about me.

After a little while, I got adopted. I thought that was it—I thought I had found my forever home. But after a couple of months, they brought me back. They said I was “too big.” I didn’t understand. I didn’t do anything wrong. I just grew, the way puppies do. I tried to be good, but nobody taught me how. They didn’t work with me on leash manners, so yes… I pull when I walk. And sometimes I get excited and jump up because I want attention so badly. I’m not trying to be naughty—I just didn’t have anyone showing me the rules.

So here I am again, waiting. Hoping. I’m still the same sweet boy I was the day I left, just a little older and a lot more ready to learn. I need someone who will set boundaries, teach me gently, and help me understand how to be a polite, well‑mannered dog. I’m smart, I’m eager, and I really do want to make you proud. I just need a person who won’t give up on me.

My previous owners said I am house trained, which is a pretty great start. And I’m good with other dogs, too. I like having friends. I like being part of a group. I like feeling like I belong. I’m a big, strong puppy, but inside I’m just a soft, goofy boy who wants to be loved. I adore people. I lean in for pets, I wag my whole body, and I melt when someone scratches behind my ears. I’m happiest when I’m close to someone who cares.

If you’re looking for a dog who will grow into a loyal, loving companion… someone who will follow you around, keep you company, and make you laugh with his silly mastiff expressions… I might be your guy. I’m still learning, but I promise I’m worth the effort. I’ll give you everything I have—my trust, my affection, my big goofy smile—if you give me a chance.

If you’d like to meet me, the rescue says you can email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I’ll be waiting, hoping the next person who comes to see me is the one who finally says, “Porkchop, you’re home.”

Love, Porkchop

Mina is a sweet and loving 8-month-old puppy with so much affection to give! She loves sharing kisses, cuddling with her people, and following them around the house. When she gets especially excited to see someone, she may become a little jumpy, but she is still young and learning polite greetings.

Read more about Mina

Mina loves playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion in her new home. She enjoys toys, but soccer balls are her favorite! She will also fetch smaller toy balls and surprise you with random bursts of adorable zoomies. Mina appears to enjoy water, especially sprinklers and the hose, and may even discover that she likes swimming someday.

Mina spent much of her early life confined to a crate, so being crated is understandably difficult for her. She is now discovering how wonderful it is to explore, exercise, play, and simply enjoy being a puppy. Her future family should be prepared to patiently help her build confidence and create positive associations with being safely left alone. Mina deserves a loving home with the time, patience, and energy to help her continue learning and growing. In return, she will bring her family endless affection, joyful playtime, and plenty of puppy kisses!

Meet the Sweetest Chihuahua Mix Puppies! ❤️

Girls: Molly, Mia, Penny, Lola, and Ruby
Boys: Luka, Oscar, and Hugo

Born in April 2026, these adorable puppies are ready to find the loving forever homes they have always deserved! Their mom was a Chihuahua, and the veterinarian has identified the puppies as Chihuahua mixes. As of September, they weigh approximately 12–15 pounds.

This sweet litter came from a heartbreaking situation. They were removed from a hoarding home along with another litter of puppies who are also searching for their forever families. When they arrived, the puppies were suffering from skin issues and were extremely underweight.

Read more about Hugo

Thankfully, they are now safe and recovering beautifully in their loving foster home! ❤️ They are learning what it means to be happy, carefree puppies and are enjoying all the things they should have had from the beginning—love, comfort, playtime, and a safe place to call home.

They are currently working on potty training and continuing to learn all the important puppy skills. With patience, love, and consistency, each of these precious pups will make a wonderful addition to a family.

After such a difficult start, Molly, Mia, Penny, Lola, Ruby, Luka, Oscar, and Hugo are ready for their new beginnings. Could one of these sweet babies be the perfect addition to your family?

The adoption fee for each puppy is $175.00. This helps cover their vet fees to include their spay/neuter, current vaccines, dewormer, and microchip. An application and home check is required.

21. Manny

Young (9 months) · Male · Boxer / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Casa Grande

My name is Manny, and I'm hoping that somewhere out there is a person or family looking for a best friend just like me.

Before you meet me, I'd love to tell you a little about my story.

Life didn't start out very easy for me and my brothers. We spent our early puppy months living in a van with our owner. Five of us puppies were crowded together in a small kennel that was dirty, cramped, and far from the kind of place where puppies should grow up. We were underweight, suffering from mange, and had never received proper veterinary care.

At the time, I didn't know life could be different.

Then one day, everything changed.

Read more about Manny

A kind woman from Pets to Vets, a pet transportation company, arrived to transport us to a boarding facility while our owner was hospitalized. When she saw the condition we were in, she knew we needed help. Instead of looking the other way, she became the first person to give us a real chance.

At the boarding facility, a veterinarian treated our mange and gave us our first vaccinations. For the first time, people were helping us heal. A few days later, our owner returned and took our mother home, leaving the rest of us behind.

That could have been the end of our story.

Instead, it became the beginning of a much better one.

The wonderful woman from Pets to Vets opened her heart and her home to all of us. Suddenly, we had room to run and play. We slept on clean bedding, enjoyed regular meals, and discovered what it felt like to simply be puppies. We learned that people could be gentle, caring, and trustworthy.

As time went on, caring foster families stepped up to help us while we searched for forever homes. They quickly noticed something special about my brothers and me. Even though we had spent much of our lives hungry, we never fought over food. We happily eat side by side, share bowls, and switch places during meals without a fuss. Somehow, despite a difficult beginning, we remained friendly, trusting, and full of love.

That's exactly the kind of dog I am today.

I'm a sweet, affectionate young pup who loves attention and enjoys being around people. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing on the couch, I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my humans. I have a playful side, but I also appreciate a good nap and plenty of cuddle time.

There is one unique thing about me that people often notice right away: my tail has a bend in it from an old break. The truth is, nobody knows exactly how it happened. It's possible I was born that way, or it may have occurred sometime during my early life before I was rescued. Whatever the cause, it doesn't slow me down one bit. In fact, my tail wags just fine, and many people think it adds a little extra character to my handsome appearance!

My mange is healing beautifully, and my coat continues to grow back every day. Those lighter patches you may see in my photos are simply areas where my fur is returning. I've received veterinary care, vaccinations, a microchip, and I've already been neutered thanks to the kindness of people who wanted to give me the best possible start on my new life.

Now I'm ready to find what I've been waiting for all along: a family of my own.

I'm not looking for perfection. I don't care if your house is big or small. I don't need expensive toys or fancy treats. What matters most to me is having people who will love me, keep me safe, and make me part of their family forever.

Maybe you're looking for a hiking buddy. Maybe you're searching for a couch companion to watch movies with. Maybe your kids are hoping for a dog they can grow up with. Or maybe you simply want a loyal friend who will greet you with excitement every single time you walk through the door.

If you can offer love, patience, and a permanent place in your heart, I promise I'll do my very best to return that love every day for the rest of my life.

I've already overcome a difficult beginning. Now I'm just hoping for the happy ending every dog deserves.

MEET MILO #8!!

Read more about Milo

Milo is a very energetic boy who craves constant play time and attention. He's a bit high strung and tends to bark and whine if he hears something outside. He can be shy when it comes to affection. He just won't give it all of the time, but he won't refuse any hugs or kisses either. Milo is very social. Every time he sees someone new, he has to go and meet them. He will holler, bark, and pant, but it's not because he wants to attack. He just really wants to say Hello. And he loves other dogs, especially getting to play with them. He also loves doing tuggies with people. Although Milo loves to go for walks, he gets nervous when the leash comes out. You need to know the command to get him to stop, otherwise he will pull you down the stairs. He knows so many tricks, but he is not a fan of doing them unless he really wants the treat.

Milo has had a difficult medical history of late. He's had valley fever, recently broke his leg, and has something growing in his belly. These things have caused him some pain, and he has lashed out at times. His owner believes the right person can help him get better and live the rest of his years enjoying life. Meet Milo today!

25. Valentino

Puppy (6 months) · Male · Boxer / Mastiff / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Casa Grande

Meet Valentino! V
alentino is a beautiful boy with a big spirit. He's still very young, but you can tell his life started out hard. When he first came to his foster home he was almost feral, and he's still very timid and skittish around people. What makes Valentino special is how far he's come, and how much he wants to keep going. He has made a lot of progress. He now takes treats by hand, goes outside with the other dogs when it's time, and sometimes lets you sit quietly next to him and pet him. He has even started coming up to people on his own to give a few quick toe or finger kisses before running back to his favorite hidey hole. Every week he gets a little more confident and lets more of his personality show. Around other dogs and animals, Valentino is friendly and wonderful, and he turns into a big goofy boy. During playtime he rolls onto his back and lets his silly side out. He also has a sweet habit of quietly stealing toys, along with his people's clothes and shoes, and carrying them back to his favorite hiding spot. Wanting his people's things close by is a really good sign of how much he's growing. He hasn't played with toys with people yet, but you can tell he wants to badly. He just needs a little more courage first. Valentino needs a patient, understanding person who will keep giving him the time and space he needs to build his confidence. He'll learn to trust at his own pace. If you're willing to go slow, you'll get to watch a shy, cautious pup turn into the happy, goofy boy he's meant to be.

Young (2 years 2 months) · Female · Bulldog / Boxer / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Casa Grande

Meet Stella!

Read more about Stella

Stella is a quiet, calm girl who always looks a little lost in thought, like she's thinking about something important. She likes a peaceful home that matches her calm and peaceful demeanor. Stella's mornings start sweetly. She walks up to you quietly, rests her head on you, and gives you a few gentle kisses while she waits for some good pets. She loves having her forehead and ears gently stroked, and when you pet them, you'll find out why we think she might hold the world record for the softest ears. She's just as gentle at treat time. She takes treats so softly it's like she floated them right off your hand. Her favorite parts of the day are quiet naps in the sunshine and long stretches of looking out the window. Stella likes to be part of whatever's going on in the house, but she doesn't need to be the center of attention. She's happiest close by, taking it all in. When she does decide to join playtime, Stella loves chasing the other pups while they play fetch or wrestle over toys. She never tries to take the toys for herself, though, and she isn't much of a toy girl on her own. Most of the time she keeps to herself and enjoys her own company. Stella rarely barks. When she does, it's usually because she got a little too excited during play. When the other dogs in the house bark at deliveries or wildlife, she stays out of it. New people, places, and things can make Stella nervous, and when she feels unsure she may go off by herself for a while. She does best with patience and a calm, steady routine, and she opens up a little more once she knows she's safe. Bath time scares her a bit, but she does well when it's done somewhere calm and quiet. She walks nicely, but it still makes her a little nervous, so she'll need some more leash training from a patient person. Stella would do best in a calm, quiet home with someone who will let her warm up at her own pace. In return, she'll give you gentle morning greetings, a sunny-spot nap buddy, and the softest ears you've ever petted.

She loves keeping her people entertained and would happily spend her day chasing toys, solving puzzles, and engaging in interactive games.

Her affectionate nature makes her an exceptional companion. Maggie also enjoys playing with other social dogs and thrives in active environments where she can make friends and burn off energy. While she does well with other dogs and loves playing with others, she does best eating her meals separated from others. Like many herding breeds, she can sometimes become overly enthusiastic, but with proper training, guidance, and continued socialization, she channels that energy beautifully. If you're looking for a smart, active, affectionate dog who will keep you laughing, thinking, and snuggling, Maggie may be the perfect match for your family.

Adopting a dog with children in Casa Grande

Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.

Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
