3. Annabelle
PLEASE NOTE: This dog is courtesy posted for another individual or Rescue. Different policies and fees may apply
.
Call 480-331-4188 to learn more or arrange a meeting.
Meet Annabelle, a sweet young girl with a little wobble and so much love to give.
At approximately 1 year old and 49 pounds, Annabelle has already experienced too much uncertainty. Born in a shelter, she has lost two homes and is now waiting in a boarding facility for someone who will give her the lasting love and stability she deserves.
Read more about Annabelle
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.

5. Rowan
Background: Rowan and his siblings came to rescue with their mom, Beans, from an overcrowded off-grid home in the desert. Their owner loved them deeply and reached out for help so each puppy could have the opportunity to find a wonderful forever family. Rowan has been loved and handled since birth and is growing up as a happy, well-socialized puppy.
Read more about Rowan
Personality: Rowan is the biggest snuggler of the bunch! While he enjoys puppy wrestling matches, chasing games, and carrying around his favorite toys, his favorite place is curled up next to his people. He's confident, affectionate, and always ready for both playtime and cuddle time. As the largest puppy in the litter, Rowan was also the first to embrace his "big boy" food.
Health: Rowan's estimated DOB is 7/22/26. Based on his current size, we expect him to mature to around 30 pounds. He is up-to-date on his puppy vaccines.
Training: As a young puppy, Rowan is still learning all the basics of being a great canine companion. He's currently using potty pads and is beginning to explore the dog door in his foster home. Like all puppies, he'll need continued work on house training, leash skills, socialization, and basic manners. Rowan is a smart, confident boy who will thrive with a family committed to providing the structure, consistency, and patience every puppy needs to grow into a wonderful adult dog.
Ideal Home: Rowan would love a home with a female dog who is a few years older than him. He will thrive with a family looking for an affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and downtime. He requires a household that can provide plenty of playtime, socialization, and snuggles. As with any puppy, Rowan needs a family that understands the time, training, supervision, and socialization required during his first year.
Adoption Requirements: We are currently accepting applications for foster-to-adopt! Terms of a foster-to-adopt agreement include taking them for their remaining shots and spay/neuter surgery at PAWS - The Modern Spay Neuter Clinic (Cave Creek & 101).
• Week of 10/26: distemper/parvo booster, rabies, microchip, spay/neuter surgery
This appointment is fully covered by the rescue. Ownership transfers to the adopter immediately following the final appointment.
The adoption fee of $400 helps offset the cost of medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, have a securely fenced yard, and are ready for all things puppy, please complete an adoption application*: https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/
*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

6. Clark
COURTESY POST
Meet Clark – Your New Best Friend!

Clark is a handsome 4-year-old Hound Dog weighing about 70 pounds. He has a heart as big as his smile and is truly one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. Whether he's cuddling up beside you on the couch or playing with his canine friends, Clark is happiest when he's surrounded by love.
Read more about Clark
Clark is a smart boy who has completed puppy training classes with flying colors and knows several basic commands. He's house-trained, uses a doggie door, and rides wonderfully in the car, making him an easy companion for everyday adventures.
Clark does experience some separation anxiety, so he'll do best in a home with another friendly dog to keep him company and give him a playmate. Having a canine buddy helps him feel safe, happy, and confident.
His ideal forever home would include:
Another playful dog for companionship.
A securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and burn off his energy.
A family who will give him the love, patience, and affection he deserves.
Clark is ready to fill your home with laughter, cuddles, and unconditional love. All he needs now is a family to call his own. Could that be you?
If you think Clark would be a good fit for your family please complete our online application at:

A volunteer coordinator will contact you after reviewing your submission.

8. Bowser
Meet Bowser
This sweet, handsome boy came to us all the way from Illinois after being abandoned in a basement with a cat, a rabbit, and a female dog named Luna. By pure luck, we had volunteers close enough to help, and Bowser and Luna were able to make their way safely to Arizona.
Bowser came in covered in fleas, but even after everything he had been through, he was still so happy to be saved and so grateful to have people around him. He is truly a giant puppy with a sweet, loving soul.
Read more about Bowser
Bowser is under 2 years old, female dog friendly, and most likely would do well with cats or small animals with proper introductions. He is still working on leash manners and will do best with someone ready to give him love, structure, and guidance.
Bowser is looking for a forever home or a Foster To Adopt family. Could this handsome boy be the one you’ve been waiting for?

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
