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.

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.

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.

10. Sadie & Luna

Adult (5 years 7 months) · Female · Bichon Frise / West Highland White Terrier Westie / Mixed (medium coat) · 9 mi from Scottsdale

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.

12. Squishy Dumpling

Young (2 months 24 days) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Scottsdale

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.

Read more about Squishy Dumpling

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.

13. Rowan

Puppy (3 months 11 days) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Scottsdale

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.

15. Duffy

Young · Female · Labrador Retriever / Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Scottsdale

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.

Read more about Duffy

Her recent visit with the cardiologist brought encouraging news. Her heart condition has actually improved slightly since her last evaluation. She is not in heart failure, does not need daily heart medication, and surgery is not recommended. Her cardiologist expects her condition to remain stable now that she is fully grown. She will simply need a yearly cardiology recheck so her heart can continue to be monitored.

Is there some added risk because of her heart? Yes. She does have a higher risk than a dog without a heart condition, and we always want to be honest about that. But today, Duffy is living a full, active, joyful life—and we believe she deserves a family who sees her for so much more than her diagnosis.

And let us tell you about the real Duffy.

She is a 2.5 year old petite Lab mix (around 30-40lbs) with the biggest heart in every way that matters. She is unbelievably sweet, gentle, and loving. Every single person who meets her falls in love. Even the veterinary staff can’t help but adore her every time she visits.

Her greatest passion in life? TOYS! If there’s a toy nearby, Duffy is the happiest girl on the planet. Fetch it, squeak it, carry it around proudly—she is completely obsessed. She also loves playing with other dogs and gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets.

Duffy doesn’t need someone looking for a “perfect” dog. She needs someone who understands that perfection comes in many forms—and that sometimes the dogs with a few extra challenges love the hardest.

Her adoption fee is $100 and she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. To meet her text 480-718-1312.

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?

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.
