Story
PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Look at this cutie! Meet Luna, a 6-year-old, 20-pound scruffy terrier blend with a zest for life and plenty of energy to enjoy it! Despite being in her middle years, Luna is still full of fun and adventure. Luna would be perfectly content as the only dog in your home or with a non-dominant male dog. She loves exploring the outdoors, so a secure, fenced backyard is a must—she’s not suited for apartment or condo living. Luna enjoys walks and would be thrilled to spend the day with you, whether you're going on adventures or just hanging out together. While Luna is easygoing, she prefers to be the only female dog in your life. She’s not particularly fussy, but she’d rather not share her home with other female dogs. We’re not sure about her interactions with cats or young children, so we recommend a home with older, responsible kids who can appreciate her delightful personality. Luna is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00. If you’re ready to make Luna a cherished member of your family, please visit https://pwrescue.org and click on the “Adopt” button to complete an application.  Pathways Home Animal Rescue January 3, 2025, 11:32 am

Story
Mama Chica Hi Mama Chica is full of pep & loves to run like she’s a puppy. She is FAST, her playstyle is rambunctious & a little mouthy. She loves playing chase with either her humans or another dog - even a larger dog. If there are no toys laying around she will pick up an adult shoe and take off with it, but she has not chewed up anything at home with her foster family. She would probably do best with children over third grade because she jumps very actively for attention and might knock a small child over. She has spent lots of time with an 11 year old boy and does fine as long as the child understands giving her space until she is ready to approach. Mama is not afraid of playing with a large dog & will taunt them to play with her. She is pushy but needs a slow introduction & supervision until the pecking order is established because make no mistake Mama definitely wants to be alpha. She does growl and snap until the other dog realizes who is calling the shots so it’s best if other dogs are non-reactive. Mama does do some resource guarding with food & should be fed separately from other dogs. She gravitated toward foster mama first and it took her about 2 weeks to establish relationship with a senior GS & 18 month old Doberman, both males, and foster dad, but there was also a litter of 5 puppies present for the first three weeks. In the evening Mama does want to curl up on the couch next to a human & warns other dogs off but settles down once she is corrected. A good thing is Mama can be very cuddly, likes to wait on the bed while her human takes a shower. She sleeps peacefully all night in a small kennel at foot of the bed but does not like to be shut in a separate room. Sleeps almost 9 hours at night, also lays in her kennel voluntarily during the day as her “safe space“. At bedtime we say “Go to your kennel. Go to bed“ and she goes straight in with no fuss. Mama is let outside immediately upon waking, potties outside & in urgent times mostly hits the potty pad dead on. Mama eats 2X day about 10 hours apart then immediately goes outside to do her daily business twice a day. Very seldom has an indoor accident. Riding in a car the only place Mama feels safe is between the drivers legs which is dangerous, so it is best if she is kenneled in a car. With regular daily practice, she is perfecting walking on a leash. Sometimes she gets distracted out in the wide, wide world and spins, so a halter is better than a collar when walking. If Mama Chica is the only dog in the home, she will need to be socialized often or she can be possessive of her human. She has a very loud BARK! We say we don’t need a doorbell. we have Mama Chica! Best if her adopter does not live in a home with common walls.

Story
King (right, the papa) and Brady (left) are father and son and are 4 and 3 years old. Due to an unfortunate situation in their home, they are seeking a new together-forever family. These boys are very young at heart... playful, love walks, loving, spunky, and ready to learn your house rules and grow up to be well-mannered gentlemen. We're told they are a maltese chihhuahua mix ('Malchi'), but whatever their mix is, they are cute, and terrier-like. They are roughly 15 and 19 pounds and are full grown. Any children in their new home should be at least 9 years old and of a respectful, responsible and kind nature. Adoptable and fully vetted -- neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. They will come with harnesses, collars & tags, and leashes. We can set up a meet & greet upon approved application. Please email to request one.

Name: Bambi Sex: Female Age: 6 years old Breed: Cairn Terrier/Chihuahua mix Weight: 20lbs Compatibility with other dogs: Good with dogs Compatibility with cats: Not tested Compatibility with kids: Not tested Spayed/Neutered: Yes House trained: No Doggy door trained: Yes Crate trained: No Activity level: Low Obedience training: Needs training Personality/Behavior: Timid/shy, Skittish, Independent/aloof, Gentle Requirements: Meets the whole family; Introductions with any dogs in the home; Someone to work on training; Securely fenced yard; Prefers females, harder to bond with males   PLEASE NOTE: This dog is courtesy posted for another individual or Rescue. Different policies and fees may apply. MEET BAMBI #2!! Bambi is a gentle, but independent woman! She does like to be near her people, but she also likes her space. Bambi seems to prefer women to men and can be somewhat uncomfortable with men...she may do better with a woman as her primary "person" in the home. She would most likely do best in a nice, quiet and calm home. She is not a barker dog but does have the cutest little howl. Bambi could do very well with another gentle, calm dog to encourage her confidence building and teach her how to be just a fun happy dog. Bambi's happy place is napping on her blanket, or out in the sun.  If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com PLEASE NOTE: This dog is courtesy posted for another individual or Rescue.

Story
MEET  BUDDY!!! Hello, my name is Buddy. While I may not be a man of international intrigue, I am a man who wants to snuggle. My favorite place to be is next to and touching my favorite human. I want to sleep up against you and squeeze into the chair with you and enjoy your favorite show or movie. I do love my stuffed toys and will drag them around wherever we go in the house. I get along with other dog friendly dogs but would love to be the center of your world. While I do have bursts of high energy and zoomies as a smaller dude, I don’t need a lot of space to zoom it out. Carrots are my favorite snack. A typical man I need to make the first move and am leery of strangers coming directly at me. I am definitely a ladies’ man and would love to be your little man. Please no children under 9, I am not a fan of fast movements and need time to warm up to new people.   If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com   December 27, 2024, 12:32 am
