Story
Duchess is a good girl yet kind of lazy. Her breed is more Serta or Sleep Number, as she is more couch potato that a dog. We came across Duchess through a rehoming agency in Surprise. She was found abandoned & had birthed a litter of puppies. Due to trauma her young age, Duchy has some anxiety & separation issues. She is not destructive with this problem & only requires reassurance, attention and belly rubs. Duchess doesn't bite & is very friendly with women & children. With men, she growls as she is cautious. Within 30 minutes she is fine. She bonds with the alpha of the house quickly. Dutch loves to play with her rope outside and likes to be chased, but only for 5 minutes and then she is done. Her dark black coat retains so much heat that her outside time is limited. She has shown zero interest in any other type of toy, and does not chase balls. However, dried pig/cow ears and other parts are her favorite chewies. Duchess is a great dog and an amazing buddy.

Story
I rescued Upton in 2013 when he was just a pup from the Coconino County Humane Society. He is a chihuahua/dachshund mix (chiweenie). Over the last 11 years, Upton has been a wonderful companion. I was single when I rescued him and for the first 5 years of his life, so he and I have been through many major life events together ❤️ He loves cuddles, cozy beds/blankets, and sun bathing (he’s a heat seeker!). I am now a mom to a chaotic 2 year old, with another one on the way and Upton does not necessarily like to share the attention. He is older now and he doesn’t have a lot of patience for a toddler tugging and pulling at him and it’s a risk I unfortunately will not take with my human babies. This is a very difficult decision for me to make and I am desperate to find Upton a new home where he can live his best life. He is the sweetest boy, but needs a home with no kids and someone who can provide lots of cuddles and love ❤️

Trucker

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy
Mesa, AZ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Trucker! Born on May 5th, 2024, in Arizona, Trucker is an energetic young puppy who loves to play and run. He was dropped off with my parents, and unfortunately, we don't have any information about his previous owner. Trucker is full of energy and would thrive in a home with a large area where he can run and explore. He is a good listener but gets excited easily, so he will need someone patient to help him channel that excitement. We are looking for a new home for Trucker because my elderly parents live in a small mobile home and are unable to care for him properly. If you have the space and love for an active and playful puppy, Trucker would make a wonderful addition to your family.

Ash

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Mesa, AZ
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ash is a calm, intelligent dog who thrives with tasks and mental stimulation. He’s a natural protector, gentle with babies and children he knows, and loves being near his family, enjoying pets and affection. As an older dog, he doesn’t need much exercise but appreciates consistent attention and mental engagement at home. Ash can live with small caged animals but not other dogs, and may react to strangers or other dogs while walking, so a strong handler is needed. He’s house-trained, can be left alone for 8+ hours, and knows commands like sit, stay, shake, and roll over. Ash enjoys puzzle toys, learning new tricks, and gnawing on bones. We’re seeking a new home for Ash due to conflicts with our other dog and lack of space/time. He’s a caring pet, and we hope his next owner can appreciate his love for family. We can provide food, a bed, toys, and other supplies. Ash is healthy, neutered, and has had a gastropexy procedure. If you’re interested, please reach out!

Nala

Border Collie Mutt

Female, Senior
Mesa, AZ
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nala is the biggest cuddle bug, but sometimes she can be a bit shy. She does best in a chill environment and loves sun bathing and long walks with her friends. She's not super playful or high-energy with other dogs but she would love to say hi to everyone. Nala loves belly rubs, nap time and giving kisses. It doesn't take much to tire her out and she does have a bit of arthritis but she loves low-impact activities. She's well trained and she's perfectly fine sleeping on her own for several hours while you're at work. Unfortunately, I had Nala while in school and my new job requires me to travel a lot. Currently, she is staying with my mom temporarily. Nala would do best with an active and experienced owner. We work on training often and she loves to just chill in parks or outdoors. She is also a bit high-maintenance in the grooming department with that long coat! Beyond that she is a very friendly and easy dog. We hope your home will be able to provide her stability.
