2. Onyx

Young (2 years 4 months) · Male · Boston Terrier · 12 mi from Fountain Hills

Onyx is a beautiful and goofy young (2 yrs+) male that came into rescue when his young owner was unable to provide care for him. His foster says he gets along better with the female dog at her house; he and the male still have struggles over who is "king." He enjoys chew toys and walks, and is slowly learning to be secure in the world. He has enjoyed being on the "lily pad" in his foster's pool and doesn't seem to mind baths either!

Read more about Onyx

In his ideal home, Onyx enjoys being close to his humans, though he does not always want to actually cuddle. As a young dog, he can still be somewhat impulsive so he needs kind, patient, and consistent guidance to be his best version of himself. Like many Bostons, Onyx enjoys sunbathing in his yard and requires a tall fence with secure footings as he once escaped his former home by digging under a gate (and found himself caught up by Animal Control). Getting him adequate attention and exercise every day has helped curb his desire to roam and let him show his goofy side more often.

Onyx is reported to be good with older, respectful children but his compatibility with cats is unknown. His compatibility with other male dogs is not consistent, so we are looking for a place where he can be placed with a less dominant female or be an "only" dog in the home.

If you would like to meet this handsome young man, please be sure you have an adoption application on file and have completed a home visit with us. We would love to hear from interested parties that can meet Onyx's needs!

PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY Meet Luna & Sadie! IMPORTANT!! ***(Sadie is a pair with Luna - PLEASE SEE LUNA'S BIO FOR INFORMATION ON HER)

This adorable mother-daughter duo is looking for a forever home together! This sweet pair came to Pathways after their owners were no longer able to care for them. They are doing wonderfully in their foster home and have quickly shown everyone just how special they are. Luna and Sadie are a wonderful combination — one part sass, one part sweetness, and 100% love.

Read more about Sadie & Luna

If you're looking for a pair of girls who will keep you laughing, fill your home with love, and become your very best friends, Luna & Sadie may be the mother-daughter duo you've been waiting for!

They will need a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where they can safely run and play. No doggie doors, please! A home with a doggie door will only be considered if there is a secure, covered outdoor enclosure to protect them from potential predators while they are outside.

Both girls can be a little unsure of new people in their space and may bark when someone they don't know arrives. Neither has shown any aggression, and both are learning that new people can mean good things — especially when treats are involved! They will need adopters who are willing to give them a little patience and time as they get comfortable. Because both girls can be cautious with new people, their family will need to understand that they may take a little time to warm up. Once they trust you, though, you'll have two very special girls by your side.

Both dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. Their adoption fee as a pair is $500.00.

Sadie (daughter) — Sweet, Playful & Full of Potential!

Sadie is 5-1/2 year old, 15 pound Bichon/Westie mix who is an absolute sweetheart with a gentle soul and a happy, playful personality. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, especially in her own space, and may bark at first. But give her a few treats, some gentle scratches, and a little time, and her curiosity quickly takes over. Once Sadie feels comfortable, she is beginning to ask for affection all on her own — and it is pretty darn adorable!

Sadie LOVES to play! Chewy toys, fetch, and the occasional game of tug-of-war are some of her favorite activities. She is wonderful with other dogs and enjoys being part of the action. She is gentle and respectful with the older dogs in her foster home and isn't possessive of her toys or food. Sadie also likes being near her people and may shed a few tears when left alone in her kennel. She is a people-loving girl who wants to know where her humans are! Sadie walks nicely on a leash and did great on an outing to Home Depot. Her first car ride without the other dogs made her a little shaky, but she handled her adventure well. She just needs patience and encouragement as she continues building confidence in new situations.

And this girl is SMART! Sadie is very treat-motivated, which should make training and learning new tricks lots of fun. She also has the cutest way of celebrating when she's excited — she'll sometimes stand up on her hind legs and give little “cheers” with her front paws!

Sadie is easygoing about grooming, too. Her first haircut was a breeze, and although she will let you trim her nails, she needs a little encouragement and patience. Baths aren't a big deal either — although thankfully, she hardly ever needs one!

Luna (mother)— aka Luna Lou, Lulu, Lu-natic, Louboutin, Lou-Boo & Big Mama!

Whatever you call her, one thing is certain: Luna is a BIG personality packed into one very lovable girl! Luna is a 6-1/2 year old, 16 pound Bichon/Poodle mix who is big, bouncy, and full of personality. She has the cutest bunny-hop run, loves doing her signature “spinnies,” and isn't afraid to let everyone know exactly what she thinks. This girl definitely has opinions — and she's not shy about sharing them!

Luna LOVES squeaky toys and can happily chew a Busy Bone into complete nonexistence. She can be a little protective of her special chewy treats, so she is happiest when she can enjoy her stash in peace. And while Luna may be a bossy babe, she is also a total cuddlebug! She will let you know when she wants to be picked up, and if she wants something, you might get a little stomp accompanied by a very determined huff. Yep… Luna has an attitude, and it's absolutely adorable.

Luna is hypothyroid and takes medication twice a day, but she makes pill time incredibly easy. Just put her medication in her food dish and she happily eats it right along with her kibble. She has already lost some of her extra weight, and with that weight loss has come even more of her fun-loving spunk!

When it comes to grooming, Luna has VERY strong opinions about baths! Consider yourself warned! Thankfully, she is perfectly fine with brushing and trimming and will patiently sit through her grooming. She is also good with nail trims when they are done slowly and gently.

And then there's Luna's legendary snore. Seriously… this girl could probably give a chainsaw a run for its money! Luna is funny, affectionate, spirited, cuddly, and completely unforgettable. She may need some patience when meeting new people, but once she knows you, you'll discover just how much love this big personality has to give.

Both are around 2 years old and sweet as can be.

Puppy · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Fountain Hills

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.

    How to adopt from Rotten Rottie Rescue

    Our Adoption Process... If you are interested in adopting one of our fun loving not so rotten rotties, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will allows us to get to know you better and to make sure the dog you are looking at is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our questionnaire by going to our website, www.rottenrottie.com click on the forms tab, and fill out the questionnaire and submit it online. After we review your answers, if we feel that the dog that you are interested in, is not a good fit for you and your family, we may recommend a different rottweiler companion. After we determine which Rottweiler(s) is the best for you, we will set up a time so that you can meet him or her at their house, where they will feel most comfortable and act as they normally do. An adoption contract will be signed to finalize the adoption and we do ask for a rehoming fee of $400 for most adults, $250 for most of our seniors 6 years and above for any rottweiler mix of any age (except puppies) . Our fees for puppies fluctuate depending on how much we had to invest into them or their litter, and weather they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary so that our organization may continue to rehome rottweilers. ALL of our dogs are sterilized, fully vaccinated and microchipped, heartworm tested negative and come with a collar and a leash. We have also addressed any injury or illness that they had when they came to us, or received in foster care. These

Adopting a dog in Fountain Hills

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
