Story
Grizz is a 59-pound shepherd mix who recently arrived at the shelter after the an unfortunate life change with his family. He’s brand new to this environment and still a bit unsure about what’s happening around him—but even through the nerves, his loving heart shines loud and clear.Grizz’s previous owner described him as a true velcro dog, and that couldn’t be more accurate. He thrives when he’s with his people and will happily follow you from room to room, just wanting to be close. Affection and companionship mean everything to him, and once he feels safe, he’s incredibly sweet and devoted.Grizz walks wonderfully on a leash, and loves going on his walks. Outside time and cuddles with his best friends is definitely his love language. Grizz grew up with kids that he absolutely adored, and would be great in a home with other kids. He is very submissive and often shows his belly when he is feeling insecure.Grizz does have a chicken and lamb allergy and is currently doing well on a turkey-based kibble, which will be important for his future home to continue.If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a loving companion, and a dog who just wants to be by your side, Grizz may be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
GENTLE. PATIENT. RESILIENT. Capone was originally saved from euthanasia at the Maricopa County shelter back in 2022. We helped transfer him to another rescue, not knowing he would spend the next two years living most of his life in a kennel. When the other rescue was shut down, Capone found himself at the Pinal County shelter. They reached out to us to see if we would be able to help him once again. Of course we said yes, knowing we had to stand behind him and bring him into our care. It is our mission to find him the home he desperately deserves after having lived such a lonely life for who knows how long now. Capone is a sensitive but sweet, independent boy who is used to living on his own. We can attest to the fact that he is a loving, sweet soul in his own, gentle way. While it might take him some time to warm up, we are confident that he will smother you with kisses and love when he's ready. He would love a calm, adult-only home, and he would prefer to be the only king of the castle. Capone’s adoption fee includes his completed veterinary exams, vaccines, neuter and microchip. Apply now to meet this handsome boy. He is the most deserving of dogs who has been patiently waiting to find his perfect forever home. Apply here: https://lovethemallrescue.org/adopt

Story
GENTLE. CHILL. RESILIENT. Hulk is a distinguished gentleman of eight-years young who is best described as a gentle giant with a relaxed, loving personality. Due to more severe arthritis in his hind limbs, he was placed on the euthanasia list at the county shelter. We knew he still had a full life to lead, so we saved him and started working on treating his lameness and pain. While Hulk is not a candidate for surgery to alleviate his arthritis, he has been doing well with his pain management plan. He has improved mobility and has been able to enjoy life again! Physical therapy could also help him maintain and possibly increase his mobility. Hulk likes children of all ages, new people and new places but needs to be your one and only dog in the home. He is crate- and house-trained, knows how to use the dog door along with basic commands. This loving pup loves to go on car rides and can be trusted to be left alone. Hulk would make a loving companion for a family looking for a gentle, laidback dog that loves cuddles and just hanging out near you. He is the perfect pup in a house or an apartment but does enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood. If you want to keep leveling up his training, he would enjoy that as he is incredibly food-motivated! Hulk's adoption fee includes his completed veterinary exams, vaccines, neuter and microchip. To meet this sweet, hunk of a boy that would love snuggle up with his forever family, apply here: https://lovethemallrescue.org/adopt

Story
Lorelai is a gentle, sun-loving sweetheart who’s about 3-4 years old and ready to find her forever home! She’s the kind of pup who wins hearts slowly but deeply—give her a little time and patience, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most loyal, loving companions you could ever imagine. This mellow girl is low energy indoors but really comes to life outside. She adores her daily walks, enjoys hiking, and will gladly soak up the sun for hours. She’s easy on leash, though she might get a little excited if she spots a rabbit! Lorela doesn't have to have canine friend by her side, but she would adore one to cuddle and play with. She loves affection and is a fantastic snuggler with both dogs and humans (and bonus: she doesn’t snore too badly!). She’s potty trained, crate trained (might need a treat bribe unless it’s dinner time!) and doggy door savvy. She is also great with kids and all humans but chaos or fast movements can overwhelm her at first as she is a shy lady, so proper introductions are a must. Once she feels safe, her personality blossoms, and you’ll see just how much love she has to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, soft-natured companion with a heart of gold, Lorelai might just be your perfect match. 💛 Apply now: https://lovethemallrescue.org/adopt
