7. Stitch
Adult · Male · Terrier · 47 mi from Cordes Lakes




In Stitch's words:
“I was rescued from a possible hoarding situation. The humans were not able to care for all of us, and they allowed others to help them reduce the number. That is how I got to Robin Hood Animal Rescue. I was one along with my dad, Scrappy and Pugsley who found our way to the rescue.
I have to admit that I am a daddy's boy. My dad was there with me while we lived in the hoarding situation.
I have to admit that I am cautious at first. But I am learning how to be more trusting.
So what that means is that I can be skittish but at the same time, I want to be given loving attention.
Read more about Stitch
I am trying to not be such a daddy's boy. And at times, I am successful.
I will need someone who will be patient and understanding with my adventure in trusting.”
As with all our foster dogs/puppies, Stitch has been altered, microchipped, and has had his shots.
Please text or call Bob at (623) 680-1170 for more information on this goofy boy.

8. Scrappy
Adult · Male · Terrier / Mixed · 47 mi from Cordes Lakes




In Scrappy's words:
“I was rescued from a possible hoarding situation. The humans were not able to care for all of us, and they allowed others to help. That is how I got to Robin Hood Animal Rescue. I was one along with my son,Stitch and Pugsley who found our way to the rescue.
Once there, we were shown love and patience as we readjusted to an different life.
After being neutered, given the required shots and the compassion, I have been able to realize how wonderful life can be with other dogs and humans.
Now, I have to admit that I am somewhat bonded with my son, Stitch.
The two of us play together. Sometimes, too rough.

We also sleep next to each other up on the bed.
Compared to Stitch, I am smaller in size. (I don't know how that happened.) I am more open to being hugged and given loving than Stitch is, but he is coming along.”
As with all our foster dogs/puppies, Scrappy has been altered, microchipped, and has had his shots.

16. Snoopy and Lucy
Adult (2 years) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Cordes Lakes



Meet Snoopy & Lucy — proof that true love has no boundaries. ❤️
These two were found running the streets of Phoenix together in the brutal summer heat. Somehow, through all of that, they had each other.
Now, I’m not one to call every pair of dogs that comes in together a “bonded pair.” Snoopy and Lucy actually do just fine when they’re separated. They don’t need each other.
But do they love each other? Absolutely.
They are best friends. He loves her. She loves him. Watching them together is ridiculously sweet, and there’s something special about the friendship these two have formed.
Both are around 2 years old and sweet as can be.
Read more about Snoopy and Lucy
Snoopy is the little guy with a big personality. He loves his toys, loves attention, and is happiest snuggled up with his humans.
Lucy is pure sweetness. She loves her people, loves affection, and has such a goofy fun way about her.
Two completely different dogs. Two completely different sizes. One very adorable friendship.
We would absolutely love to see Snoopy and Lucy find a home together, because seriously… look at them!!

18. Wonton
Puppy · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Cordes Lakes





Wonton is an absolutely precious 6-7 month old reservation mutt — which, in our opinion, is the BEST breed there is! And yes, we lovingly call him “Ears” because those adorable oversized ears seem to have a mind of their own. Up, down, sideways, one up and one down — you never quite know what look you’re going to get.
Wonton is the most confident of his siblings, and he’s such a fun, happy little guy. He’s curious, smart, and ready to explore, but underneath that confidence is the same incredibly gentle, sweet, loving nature that makes this entire litter so special.
Read more about Wonton
He absolutely loves affection and being close to his people. He’s happy to play and investigate the world around him, but he’s just as happy soaking up pets and cuddles. After a tough start in life, it’s amazing to see how trusting and loving he is.
Wonton is gentle with everyone he meets and does great with both dogs and cats. He’s also doing really well with his house training! Of course, he’s still a puppy, so his new family will need to continue helping him learn.
Wonton is the perfect combination of confidence, sweetness, personality, and ridiculously cute ears. We expect him to be medium-sized when full grown, although we’re pretty sure those ears are already full size.
His adoption fee is $250 and includes his puppy vaccines, rabies vaccine, neuter, microchip, and 30 days of free pet insurance.
