Dogs for Adoption in El Mirage, AZ: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Her zoomies are magnificent but watch out for the toes and shins! She is a 50-pound girl who does not realize she is larger than 3 pounds. Her confidence is improving daily and she needs a home that will continue to build her confidence and be patient with her. She is an incredibly beautiful and sweet teen who is eager to make the people around her happy. She is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting with Miss Asha, please text her foster mom to schedule a meeting and greet or to ask questions at 602-791-9874.

He does well with children but he is a playful, teething puppy and is still learning about chewing on toys, not people. He has never been exposed to cats so his temperament with them is unknown. Squish is neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and ready for his forever home! His estimated birth date is 7/8/2026 and his adoption fee is $300.

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.

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.
Please text or call Bob at (623) 680-1170 for more information on this little character.

Chickpea is not leash trained yet and will do best working up to this slowly. Chickpea is social with other dogs and a canine buddy in her new home will likely help her warm up to a new environment faster. Chickpea has made a lot of progress behaviorally in the few months she's been at the shelter, and we are confident she will blossom even further in a loving and patient home setting. Does Chickpea sound like she might be a match for you? Email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment. Chickpea's adoption fee includes spay surgery, vaccinations up to date including Rabies certificate, and microchip.

Email chitownrescue@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with the Frosted Faces director for a meet and greet appointment.

Buster will undoubtedly be shy with new people, but if you go slow and have patience, we are sure Buster will eventually warm up to his new human friends. Buster is social with other dogs and enjoys playing and zooming. He would do best in a home with another dog (or two!), as they can help him feel more comfortable in a new environment. Buster also enjoys squeaky toys, zoomies, and snacks. He is a curious guy who will follow you around once he trusts you (and especially if there's food involved). Buster would do best in a home with no small children, and a secure yard/fencing. No apartments please, as Buster is not yet leash-trained and will need a yard he has access to, for potty training. If you have room in your heart and home for a special dog like Buster, please send us a message! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment with Buster. Buster's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, and microchip.

Say hello to Pimento! Pimento is an approximately six-year-old male Chihuahua mix, weighing around 20-pounds currently. Pimento came to the Frosted Faces shelter over a year ago, as one of twenty-five dogs who were taken in from a severe hoarding case. All of the dogs were fearful to varying degrees and only a few were social enough to be adopted. Pimento has made great improvement during his time at the shelter and loves attention from those he knows and trusts. He will allow you to pick him up once he is used to you, and will lay by you or climb in your lap for gentle pets. Pimento had never met our photographer but allowed her to pet him as he was being held by his trusted human friend. Pimento's hobbies include squeaky toys and chew bones! Pimento enjoys being social with other dogs and is pretty easy-going with a variety of temperaments, even getting his play on from time to time! Pimento will need a patient and secure home environment that is willing to go slow and let him come to them on his terms. We expect that he will be nervous in a new environment and will do best in a home with no small children. Pimento is social with his kennel mate, Olive, and with other small dogs (unknown on large dogs or cats). If you have the patience to help a shy dog blossom and love a project- get in touch with us to meet Pimento!

Pimento's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, and microchip. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with the Frosted Faces shelter for a meet and greet.

Meet Olive! Olive is an approximately three-year-old female Chihuahua mix, weighing around 15-pounds. Olive came to the Frosted Faces shelter over a year ago, as one of twenty-five dogs who were taken in from a severe hoarding case. All of the dogs were fearful to varying degrees and only a few were social enough to be adopted. Olive has been working hard on her social skills and is finally at a point we are comfortable listing her for adoption! Olive is still quite shy, but with those she knows, she will allow them to pick her up and seeks out attention and pets. Olive LOVES a good back/booty scratch and will kick her hind leg when you've found the spot! Olive does well with her kennel mate and is used to being around other small dogs (unknown on large dogs/cats). We are sure you noticed that Olive has just one eye. She developed a cyst on her eye and unfortunately the eye could not be saved, despite seeing the eye specialist. This does not seem to bother Olive overall and she still gets around great. Olive will need a patient and secure home environment that is willing to go slow and let her come to them on her terms. She likely will take time to warm up to a new environment, but we promise you there will be nothing more rewarding than that first moment Olive decides to trust you. <3

Olive's adoption fee includes spay surgery, vaccinations up to date, and microchip. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with the Frosted Faces shelter for a meet and greet.

When Carly meets a new person, she will likely not show you her best side. Carly takes time to warm up and only shows her fun and affectionate side to those she knows and trusts. Carly may avoid a new person by running or by seeking comfort hiding behind someone she knows. She may also "alarm bark" or lunge at the new person and try to intimidate them into going away. These are all fear-based behaviors that Carly displayed to us at the shelter when first meeting us. Carly spent a week in a foster home but was returned to the shelter related to her fear issues. She had bonded with the female in the home, but was growling when male family members walked in and she was near "her person". Carly would do best in a dog-experienced home that doesn't have a lot of members coming and going.

Carly is looking for a patient home who will give her the time she needs to warm up on her terms. Carly is approximately three-years-old and weighs around 20-pounds. Her adoption fee includes spay surgery, vaccinations up to date/Rabies certificate, and microchip. Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment with Carly!

Zach is very social with other dogs and has always enjoyed zooming and playing with his dog pals. He has a fun energy level and enjoys toys and the play pool also. Zach MUST go to a home with at least one other playful dog, as his greatest joy in life is play time with his pals. Zach also needs to go to a home experienced with fearful dogs, and with no small children. Zach would do best in a home (no apartments) with access to a secure and fenced yard, as he is not leash-trained. If you have room in your home and heart to help a dog as special as Zach, please email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com!

Annabelle may need a little time to warm up when meeting someone new. Give her a few moments to get comfortable, and her sweet, affectionate personality starts to shine. She is playful, loves pets and attention, and enjoys walks, exploring, and splashing in kiddie pools. She is potty trained, crate trained, and walks nicely once outside. She also lived successfully with cats in her previous home.

Annabelle has cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition she was born with that affects balance and coordination. For her, this means a slight wobble or head tilt at times. The condition does not progressively worsen. Shelter veterinarians report that she is happy, active, comfortable, and enjoying a good quality of life, with no special treatment currently needed. Her little wobble does not keep her from enjoying the things she loves.

This affectionate girl needs a patient, committed family who will love her just as she is. After so many changes, Annabelle deserves a home where she can finally settle in and stay.

Georgia is such a wonderful girl! She is sweet, calm, affectionate and absolutely loves being close to her people. One of her favorite things is cuddling on the couch.

Georgia's wonderful qualities include:

Potty trained

Walks great on a leash

Loves swimming and playing in the water

Enjoys walks and car rides

Sweet, calm and affectionate

Loves cuddling on the couch

Can do well with compatible male dogs

Georgia needs a home without female dogs. She would do best as the only dog or with a compatible male dog following proper introductions. A meet and greet is required if you have another dog.

The heartbreaking part is that Georgia is so scared living in a kennel at a boarding facility. She misses the comfort and security of a home, and we desperately want to get her out of this environment.

Georgia isn't at a shelter where potential adopters can walk through and discover her. She depends on people sharing her story to help her find the family she deserves.

At only 2 years old, Georgia has her whole life ahead of her. She deserves to feel safe, sleep on a comfortable bed, cuddle on the couch and be loved by a family of her own.

Please don't let Georgia spend her young years scared and waiting behind kennel doors. She just needs someone to give her a chance.

This sweet boy has so much to offer! Bobby rides great in the car, takes treats gently, knows how to sit, and absolutely loves getting pets and attention from his favorite people. He is non-reactive to other dogs, enjoys getting out for walks, and would make an excellent hiking buddy for someone who loves outdoor adventures.

Bobby is potty trained, affectionate, and eager to bond with a family that will give him the time he needs to feel comfortable. He would do best in a home with older children (12+) who can respect his space while he adjusts. Bobby is not a fan of cats. He could thrive as your one-and-only pup or potentially with a compatible canine companion. If there is another dog in the home, a dog introduction is required by the rescue.

If you're willing to give Bobby the patience and love he deserves, you'll gain a devoted best friend who will reward you with endless loyalty, companionship, and plenty of adventures.

Now he’s gaining confidence, enjoying the outdoors, and learning that life can be wonderful! ❤️
Sully may not be the biggest or most traditional-looking Corso, but his personality more than makes up for it!
We think he’d make a wonderful family companion. Like any young Corso, he’ll benefit from basic training, routine, structure, and a family committed to helping him continue to blossom.
Sully survived being abandoned. Now he deserves a family who will never leave him behind.

After everything she’s been through, she deserves a home filled with love, laughter, soft beds, full bowls, and little humans to call her own.
