Story
Connie is quite the underdog. Living chained to a trailer and sleeping in deep mud, Connie produced litter after litter of puppies while never receiving any vet care whatsoever. The family finally agreed to surrender her and her only surviving pup (who was living in a small crate outdoors, and has now been adopted).Connie came to us emaciated and positive for several internal parasites, including heartworm and tick diseases. After several months of vet care, Connie is now heartworm free!!!Everyone at the vet loves Connie and her happy personality. Connie is good with other dogs but often intimidates dogs with her strong personality until they get to know her.Connie is approximately 45 pounds. She does have 'weak knees' which cause her to walk with stiff back legs on occasion. This is managed with oral medication as needed for pain. In general, Connie gets around really well and loves going on leash walks.Connie has been on restricted exercise while going through her heartworm treatment and can't wait to run and play again!Apply for Connie at ricopetrecovery.org Her adoption fee is $250.

Story
Pepperoni was part of a litter of eight puppies rescued several months ago. He was adopted together with one of his siblings, but circumstances have changed and Pepperoni is in need of a new forever home! He is crate-trained, housebroken, neutered, and has been through a beginner obedience class. Their mom says he is a quick learner, very obedient, and likes to track things. That tracking includes chasing cats, so Pepperoni needs a home with no cats or other small pets. He likes kids but can knock down smaller children while he is loving them. Apply to adopt Pepperoni at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $250.
