MEET DUDLEY #2!!
Read more about Dudley
Dudley is a sweet, affectionate, and very playful boy with a lot of personality and energy. He loves attention, playing with his toys, being outside, going for walks, and especially playing with other dogs. He really loves having someone to play with. He can be pretty enthusiastic during playtime, so another playful dog who can match his energy would be a great match. He is good with adults and elementary aged children on a leash, but he has not been testing with children in a home. He is housetrained, uses a doggy door, and knows basic commands. He does fairly well on a leash, but he still pulls at times, especially when he's excited about going for a walk. He is a typical young Husky who is curious, energetic, and always looking for something to do.
Dudley has some separation anxiety, particularly when he is left alone crated. This is improving, and he has a prescription for trazodone to help when he needs to be crated for extended periods of time. He also has enamel hypoplasia which affects the enamel on his teeth. He received a dental treatment, including bonding, in August 2026. Dudley's current owner is unable to give him the exercise and attention he needs and is heartbroken to have to find him a new home. Dudley would thrive in a home with a fenced yard, plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. A bonus would be a similarly energetic pet sibling too. Meet Dudley today!

Read more about Buck
Buck is a handsome puppy that is always full of energy as most puppies are. He is always excited to see you or meet new dogs. He loves to go on walks and runs which is a great way to tire him out. If you looked up the word "love" in the dictionary. you would see a picture of Buck. Buck is very much a puppy still and needs training. However, with some patience and consistent training, he will be the best boy ever. He is good on a leash so far and doing well with crate training. Sometimes he will bark loudly when he doesn't want to be in the crate, but that only lasts a few minutes before he settles in. Buck was found as a stray in poor condition. He deserves a loving and safe home with people who want to give him the best life he deserves. Meet Buck today!

MEET ZEUS #18!!
Read more about Zeus
Zeus is a medium-high energy boy who loves to plat fetch and tug-of-war. Then, he turns into a cuddle bug with his person. He does not show toy or food aggression. He is housetrained, crate trained and doggy door trained. He can be trusted alone at home (doesn't chew anything up). His only mischief is stealing food off the counter. Although he is crate trained, he does get anxious in it. He does well outside in his dog house or just chilling in the home. Zeus walks beautifully on a leash and is muzzle-trained for public. He bonds hard once you are his person--you will be his whole world. He is deeply loyal, protective, and affectionate with his people. He just needs slow introductions to build that trust.
He needs to be in an adult-only home with no other pets and a low-traffic household. When company comes over, he needs his own space to also build trust. His bite record is disclosed, and he needs an experienced owner who understands protective dogs and will keep his structure, boundaries, and muzzle use in public. There is a $50 rehoming fee. He is not a fit for a first-time dog owner or a busy household. However, he is truly a devoted companion in the right home. Meet Zeus today!

MEET Luna#15!!
Luna is a beautiful, sweet, loyal Husky who has spent her entire life devoted to her family. Now, through no fault of her own, she is looking for a loving forever home where she can enjoy her golden years feeling safe, settled, and deeply loved.
Read more about Luna
Luna was rescued from a backyard breeder in 2021 and has been a cherished member of her family ever since. She has experienced quite a few changes over the years, including multiple moves, living in an RV, a new baby, and a difficult divorce, yet she has continued to be an incredibly loving and loyal companion. Her family has worked hard with her, including completing PetSmart's beginner, intermediate, and advanced training classes.
Luna's personality
Luna is sweet, gentle, affectionate, playful, funny, and incredibly loyal. Despite being a Husky, she is surprisingly calm and relaxed inside the home. Her favorite things include sunbathing, going for walks, napping near her people, and simply being close to her family.
She is house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and sleeps peacefully through the night. She is also not destructive and does not typically chew furniture or household items. She can comfortably stay home while her family is away and settles nicely once everyone leaves.
Luna loves other dogs and enjoys playing at the dog park. A calm, friendly canine companion could be wonderful for her, especially because Luna is also a big fan of relaxing and taking naps with her dog friends.
Luna does become anxious in doggy daycare and is not a good candidate for that environment due to a previous traumatic experience with another dog. She is happiest having a predictable routine and relaxing at home with her people.
Kids, cats & other animals
Luna can tolerate children but would ideally do best in a home without young children or with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact respectfully with a dog.
She does well with cats and knows how to play appropriately with them. However, Luna does have a prey drive, so she should not live with small or exotic animals.
Luna's ideal home
Luna is looking for someone who understands and appreciates Huskies and preferably has experience with Huskies or other large dogs. She needs a stable, loving home where her person will be committed to her for the rest of her life.
She does not need constant entertainment. A daily morning walk, regular opportunities to get out and explore, and plenty of time relaxing with her people have been a great routine for her.
Luna does have ongoing medical needs and requires a limited-ingredient diet and daily medication. More information about her medical care will be provided to serious potential adopters.
More than just a pet
Luna has been so much more than a dog to her family. For the past three years, she has served as a seizure-alert service dog and has alerted her person to multiple seizures. She has also helped her family through difficult moments, including assisting her owner's mother after she broke her wrist.
She and her family have truly been there for one another, and finding her the right home is incredibly important. Her family is heartbroken to say goodbye, but wants to make sure Luna has the stable, comfortable life she deserves rather than putting her in a shelter.
This will not be a quick or first-come, first-served adoption. Luna's family would like to meet potential adopters and have two or three meetings so everyone can get to know one another and make sure it is the right fit. A rehoming fee will apply.
Luna is currently in Phoenix, Arizona.
If you or someone you personally know and trust may be the perfect match for Luna, please send a message. Her family is happy to answer questions, provide additional photos and videos, and arrange a meet-and-greet.

14. Mina
Puppy (8 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 1 mi from Sun Lakes




MEET MINA!!!
Mina is a sweet and loving 8-month-old puppy with so much affection to give! She loves sharing kisses, cuddling with her people, and following them around the house. When she gets especially excited to see someone, she may become a little jumpy, but she is still young and learning polite greetings.
Read more about Mina
Mina loves playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion in her new home. She enjoys toys, but soccer balls are her favorite! She will also fetch smaller toy balls and surprise you with random bursts of adorable zoomies. Mina appears to enjoy water, especially sprinklers and the hose, and may even discover that she likes swimming someday.
Mina spent much of her early life confined to a crate, so being crated is understandably difficult for her. She is now discovering how wonderful it is to explore, exercise, play, and simply enjoy being a puppy. Her future family should be prepared to patiently help her build confidence and create positive associations with being safely left alone. Mina deserves a loving home with the time, patience, and energy to help her continue learning and growing. In return, she will bring her family endless affection, joyful playtime, and plenty of puppy kisses!

She is now looking for a new home due to a significant change in her family’s living situation. Momma is extremely intelligent, eager to please, and learns quickly. She knows several commands, is crate trained, does well in the car, and enjoys toys and playtime. She is affectionate, gentle, even-tempered, and loves people, although she can be timid and shy at first. Once comfortable, her sweet and goofy personality shines through. Momma does best as the only pet in the home, as she is not comfortable with cats or other dogs. Her history with children is unknown, so a home with older children or adults may be the best fit. Momma is a wonderful companion who has so much love to give and is ready for a family who will give her the stability and affection she deserves. Complete an application and meet Momma!

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 Sun Lakes
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.
