Meet Linda! A little girl who is finally learning what love feels like.

Linda becomes incredibly attached to her person. She wants to be close, soak up every bit of attention, and finally have someone to call her own. She has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give that love back.

Asha is a very sweet and fun girl! This young est. 6 month old bully mix comes from a very abusive home and is learning about being a dog. She is still learning leash skills, dog interaction skills, and cat interaction skills. She discovered toys and playtime. She is house trained with a schedule and routine. She is good with my dogs and cats but plays rough with cats. She grew up with five cats in her original home but believes she is the size of a cat and plays a bit rough – I do not allow her to interact with my cats without supervision. She is kennel trained. She loves to snuggle. We are still working on bringing the toys back when playing fetch and her playtime is exuberant.

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.

Meet Squish! Squish is an adorable and squishable pit mix puppy who was rescued from the county shelter as a sick baby. He is a parvo survivor! Squish is 100% puppy. He hasn't met a person he doesn't like, a carpet he won't pee on, or a shoe he won't chew. Squish is playful, energetic, loving, friendly, and loves to be with people. He is doing well with potty training but still has a ways to go before he is completely potty trained. He does know how to use a dog door if you have one in your home. Squish loves playing with other dogs! He tends to be a little scared at first but warms up quickly and gets right to wrestling.

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.

Dakota is a 3-year-old Husky mix with a big heart and an even sweeter soul. He’s a big baby who absolutely adores his people and loves being close to them. He is gentle, loving, and has such a kind nature.

Dakota is great with other dogs but would also do well as an only dog. He walks nicely on a leash, does great in a kennel, and is just an all-around wonderful companion.

His adoption fee is $100 and he is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Meet Duffy – The Sweetest Little Lab Mix You’ll Ever Meet!

If you met Duffy without knowing her medical history, you would never guess she has a heart condition.

Duffy was born with a congenital heart defect called pulmonic stenosis. It sounds scary, but the most important thing to know is this: it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She runs, plays, wrestles with her dog friends, and lives every day like the happy, carefree pup she is.

Meet Miranda! If you’re looking for the perfect mix of sweet, smart, and playful, Miranda just might be your girl!

At just 8 months old, this adorable Heeler/Terrier mix is everything you could want in a puppy. She’s happy, social, and always ready for her next adventure—whether that’s chasing toys, romping around with her dog friends, or snuggling up after a fun day of play. She is a great medium size to make it easy for her to go anywhere.

Miranda is a very good puppy with a bright, eager-to-learn personality. She’s smart, curious, and loves being part of whatever is going on. She gets along great with other dogs.

Meet Indy,

If you have a one-dog-shaped hole in your heart, this sweet girl is ready to fill it. She is an affectionate, loyal, and loving pup who thrives when she gets to be the center of attention. While she can be selective with other dogs and has occasionally done well with small dogs, she would truly blossom in an only-pet home where she can soak up all the love she deserves.

MEET BOBBY

Bobby is a handsome 1.5-year-old boy looking for a patient and loving home where he can truly shine. He may be a little shy when meeting new people and needs some time to build trust, but once he does, he becomes the most loyal companion and loves being close to his person. He's the definition of a velcro dog and will happily stick by your side wherever you go.
