1. Chickpea
Young (1 year) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 3 mi from Glendale





Say hello to Chickpea! Chickpea is an approximately one-year-old, nine-pound Terrier mix, adoptable through Chi Town Rescue in Phx., Az. When Chickpea first came to the shelter from her former home, she was extremely fearful and wouldn't allow us to pet her without running away or nipping at us. Chickpea has been at the rescue about two months and has made enough progress that we are comfortable listing her for foster or adoption. That said, Chickpea is still fearful with new people and will need a family willing to go slow and let her progress on her own time. Chickpea needs a home with no young children, and a home with a secure yard that she can access for playtime/potty-time.
Read more about Chickpea
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.

Young · Male · Mastiff · 17 mi from Glendale




Sully
MEET SULLY — OUR SWEET YOUNG CANE CORSO!
Meet Sully, a handsome black Cane Corso boy, approximately 8 months to 1 year old, with a heart of gold! ❤️
Sully and his sister were abandoned in the desert. Thankfully, HARTT was able to trap Sully and bring him to safety after someone took his sister home.
Despite his rough start, Sully is an incredibly sweet, social, dog-friendly, and people-loving boy who just wants to please and be loved!
He LOVES playgroup, especially chasing his buddies Diamond and Beauty around the yard. His favorite game is King of the Mountain, where he gets all his friends to chase him! And when playtime is over, he’s always ready for cuddles.
When Sully first arrived, he was terrified to go outside and wanted to run straight back to his kennel.
Read more about Sully
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.

Zuri
Meet Zuri — From Abandoned in the Desert to Ready for a Family!
This sweet little fawn Cane Corso mix was abandoned by her owner in the desert, left to fend for herself with no food.
Thankfully, one of our amazing rescue volunteers was able to trap her and bring her safely to AZ Mastiff Rescue.
Zuri was skin and bones and literally pooping rocks from trying to survive. It was heartbreaking to see what this little girl had endured.
But look at her now! ❤️ She’s gaining weight, thriving, and showing us what an absolute sweetheart she is!
And we’ve discovered something wonderful about Zuri — she absolutely LOVES children! She’s also dog friendly and enjoys having four-legged friends.
Zuri is a petite little fawn Corso mix, definitely on the smaller side, which makes her even more adorable!
We would absolutely LOVE to find Zuri a family with children to love and spoil her.

24. Buster
Adult (5 years) · Male · Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 3 mi from Glendale





Say hello to Buster! Buster is an approximately five-year-old, 25-pound mutt mix, available for adoption through Chi Town Rescue. Buster first came to the shelter in July 2024 with 10 other dogs, as part of a hoarding case in Concho, Az. All of the dogs were fearful to varying degrees and all but three (including Buster) have found forever homes. Buster was one of our hold-outs as far as being comfortable with the humans. A few months ago, Buster broke through those walls and decided to let the humans start petting him! Not only is Buster allowing us to pet him, he will even nudge us if we stop AND offer us his paw to hold (it's the cutest thing!).
Read more about Buster
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.

26. Ozzy
Puppy (5 months 19 days) · Male · American Bulldog / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 9 mi from Glendale









Meet Ozzy, the lovable American Bulldog mix!
Personality: Ozzy is a fun-loving, affectionate puppy with a big personality. He’s eager to please and a total cuddle bug who will happily curl up in your lap after a day of adventures. Like any young pup, he’s full of energy and curiosity, and he loves long walks and playing with a variety of toys.
Health: Ozzy is 5-6 months old and weighs 28 lbs. He is expected to grow into a large adult dog, potentially reaching 65+ lbs. Ozzy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Read more about Ozzy
Training: Ozzy is off to a great start and already showing how smart and eager to learn he is. He is housebroken with a dog door, settles well in his crate, and sleeps soundly through the night. Ozzy already knows "sit" and "down", is working on "come" and "leave it", walks nicely on a leash, and is very food motivated, making him a fun dog to train. Like any puppy, Ozzy is still learning manners. He is currently teething and can be mouthy during play. He is also very enthusiastic around other dogs and is still learning appropriate play and social skills.
Ideal Home: Ozzy is looking for a committed family that understands the joys and challenges of raising a large breed puppy. Ozzy would love an active family who will take him on adventures. He will thrive with training, exercise, socialization, and structure as he grows. Because Ozzy is still working through puppy behaviors, he would do best in an adult-only home or a home with dog-savvy teens or tweens.
Adoption Requirements: Ozzy's adoption fee is $400. If you have a securely fenced yard, and are ready for all things puppy, please complete an adoption application*: https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/

Adopting a dog in Glendale
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.
