Story
Keeley is a little girl at about 7 pounds and 1 year old . She came from a tough situation and will need a very special adopter that will work with her. She was left in a cage for long periods of time, so she is not good at anything involving crates. She is about 90% potty trained and loves the doggy door. She needs a yard to run around and burn off her energy. She will also need a little friend or two as she loves to play and chase. She is still scared of humans but is getting much better. She will not let you pick her up, but if you can catch her, she is ok with being held. She is not good left alone for long periods of time as she has abandonment issues she is slowly getting over. She is also VERY vocal and will let you know how she is feeling

Story
Hi! I’m Lilah. I’m 11 months old and weigh 6 pounds. I’m not too sure around new people but I’m a work in progress. I came into the rescue very fearful and suffer from separation anxiety. It takes me a while to warm up but once I do, I’m totally devoted to you. I love just sitting in your lap and told what a good girl I am. I have to say though that I’m not too sure about the smaller humans. I chase after them and nip the back of their legs so I’d do better in a home without small children. I’m told I’m a very good escape artist so I’ll need a home that is very secure. If I can’t get over it, I’ll go through it.

Story
Nieve ( NeeNee) is Dog of the Day. This boy is a sweetie! 6 years old, lived his life in a very small backyard only inside when Summer temps in AZ got really high. As one could imagine he spent his time trying to escape, causing his family to have to give him up. He has had his vaccinations and has been neutered and given a microchip. NeeNee was really scared and skiddish. We have a nice high fence in our yard and we were prepared for his attempts at escape! He is strong and fast. And comical! He was afraid of “inside”. He was an only pet, so our small pack has helped him to understand the good stuff of family life. And he has found out that Inside is wonderful! Dog beds everywhere! Nee Nee is 11.2 lbs. of wonderment and appreciation. He behaves like a 1year old, so happy and grateful, yet loves his naps and sleeps thru the night. Such a sweet boy, not a mean bone in his body. It will take patience, a private yard to sniff freely and another dog. He is loving dog company. It is what will be best for him and his new family.

Story
Hi, I’m Tater Tot! My foster mom calls be Tater. I still haven’t acknowledged this name but I’m a work in progress. I’m 2 years old and am a Chihuahua Pug mix. I weigh 12 pounds. I was abandoned in a car lot in a crate with 2 other dogs, so I’m pretty scrappy. I’m still learning doggy manners and boundaries but I’m very food motivated so I can be taught pretty much anything. I learned the doggy door in 2 days! My foster mom says I’m goofy, whatever that means. I love to play and like to be by my people at all times. It takes a bit to warm up to people, but once I get to know you, I’m completely devoted to you. I need to find a home where my people are willing to invest some time in me to help me become the best I can be.
