This adorable 5-month-old male Cane Corso is one happy, playful little guy who is ready to find his forever family! ❤️
Honey Buns loves playing with toys, splashing around in play pools, and romping with his four-legged friends. He’s a typical happy puppy who just wants to play, have fun, and be loved!

7. Charlotte
Puppy · Female · Cane Corso Mastiff (short coat) · 21 mi from Surprise




Meet Charlotte!
Charlotte is a sweet, funny, feisty little bundle of love looking for her forever home! ❤️
This beautiful purebred female Cane Corso is crate trained, house trained, dog friendly, and easy on a leash. She loves spending time in playgroup with both male and female dogs and really enjoys having canine friends around.
Charlotte would do best in a home with at least one other dog. A male dog would probably be the easiest match, although a submissive female could also be a great fit with someone experienced in managing multiple dogs.
She would be fine with older kids, but because of her size and personality, no toddlers please.
Charlotte rides well in the car, loves her toys, and has excellent taste when it comes to snacks — her favorites are chicken feet, cow ears, and duck feet!
She’s equal parts silly, loving, and spirited and is ready for a family who appreciates everything there is to love about a Corso.

8. Wonton
Puppy · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Surprise





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.
Read more about Wonton
He absolutely loves affection and being close to his people. He’s happy to play and investigate the world around him, but he’s just as happy soaking up pets and cuddles. After a tough start in life, it’s amazing to see how trusting and loving he is.
Wonton is gentle with everyone he meets and does great with both dogs and cats. He’s also doing really well with his house training! Of course, he’s still a puppy, so his new family will need to continue helping him learn.
Wonton is the perfect combination of confidence, sweetness, personality, and ridiculously cute ears. We expect him to be medium-sized when full grown, although we’re pretty sure those ears are already full size.
His adoption fee is $250 and includes his puppy vaccines, rabies vaccine, neuter, microchip, and 30 days of free pet insurance.
To apply to meet Wonton, text or call 602 908- 6215

Adopting a puppy in Surprise
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
