Story
My pets name is Benji and he is around 5 years old. He is super lovable, playful and loves attention. I have become very busy due to work and have been struggling to give him the attention he needs. He can be a bit ruckus but I know with the attention and exercise he is an amazing dog. I’m looking to re home him with someone who can give him the love and care and he deserves

Story
Are you my new Mum or Dad? I’m Wrexx, your furrever cuddle bug! I was rescued by a nice lady in Tolleson. Her dogs didn’t like me, so this other lady rescued me - just to get me fixed, shots, microchipped, and find my furrever home. They have 3 dogs and 4 cats at any given time at their home, so, it’s a zoo! I’m about 2-3yrs old. I am a Heeler - Australian cattle dog. I like to herd the cats when they run, or if anyone falls or runs underneath me. Aside from that, I’m very smart. I am house trained & know commands, even “out of mama’s kitchen!” I would do best in a more calm environment where I can love and protect you! 💕 If we can be best mates, let me know! I look forward to loving you forever! Wrexx

Story
This family was looking for a new home for their puppy, due to them moving to a different area they couldn’t keep her no more. So we took her in as more of a foster to find her a better home. They didn’t give us good details about her and they told us she mostly lived in a cage. We brought her in and she immediately loved our home. I’m not sure if she’s ever been indoors fully , only that she slept in a cage indoors. We keep her outdoors because of our other dogs and cat. She doesn’t mind our little dogs but due to her size and playful puppy nature she freaks them out a little bit. She is 8-9 months old . Very sweet to people she trusts, extremely hyper and needs lots of exercise and toys to not rip everything apart. She did have lots of anxiety when we brought her but she’s been calming down the longer she’s here. She definitely needs an older bigger dog to show her dominance and how to behave better. Loves to run and go on walks. We would love a home with big open space to run. :)

Oakley

Australian Shepherd Doberman Pinscher

Tolleson, AZ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
This is Oakley! He is an 11 month old Doberman and Australian Shepard mix. We first got him from a house that was rehoming these mixed puppies, they stated it was an accident between their pets. Oakley is a loving boy once he gets to know you. He is nervous and fearful when it comes to new people. His lifestyle would be an environment where he is always active and having mental stimulation. Oakley is a boy that would require lots of training, treats, and patience. I have worked him with a prong collar before and we have made tons of progress. But I no longer have the time for the training and lifestyle he deserves. He is a fearful boy and requires someone with confidence to take on this journey! This was my last resort and I’m hoping someone can open their arms to him. I can always work with you! I work in the veterinary field but I could only have him for so long. Looking for a new home for this handsome fella.

Story
Calley is a young husky girl with lots of love to give. She is very playful, learning good leash manners, and wants affection. She'll make a great family member as she loves children and other dogs. Please no apartments or condos ( unless there is a private yard). Small animals and cats are not recommended due to a husky's high prey drive.
