Story
Meet Yank. He’s 9 pounds, 8 months old, and a Parson Russel Terrier Mix. At 15 weeks old, Yank had a hole in his mouth and burns on his lips. He had bruising, extreme inflammation, deep cuts and two holes around his muzzle. Someone put a rubber band on Yank’s mouth and left it there to cause these injuries. Additionally, from the band being tight, it played havoc on his teeth. His cheeks rubbing on them caused his gums to wear away. All of this before he was 15 weeks old. Now? This boy is perfect. He has healed which took a while but he’s playful, loves friends, runs like crazy, plays with toys and is happy on your lap. It’d be great if Yank had a friend around his size because he loves to play and wrestle. Yank is looking for his perfect family now. Contact us at medicalanimalsinneed@gmail.com with any questions or go to medicalanimalsinneed.com and fill out our adoption application. Yank is up to date on shots, is microchipped, and has been neutered. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
This is Bea, she is a 2 year-old Chihuahua/Jack Russel/Doxi mix weighing 20 pounds.  She is the sweetest lady who is just looking for a proper cuddler. Bea’s only goal is to love and be loved. She enjoys her long walks filled with different smells just as much as she enjoys curling up on a warm couch. She does very well with other dogs, cats unknown. She can be a nervous nelly in new environments but it does not take long for her fun and unique personality to shine. Not much is known about her past but she comes from a home filled with many dogs where she had puppies and taken away too quickly. She is looking for a patient and trustworthy parent she can gain her confidence back with. She is potty trained/leash trained and knows to handle her business outside. If you are looking for a bundle of joy who is just as excited for you to come home as much as you are, Bea is the gal for you! Beemo aka Bea! loves to say hi to new people as long as they have a calm and welcoming presence, as she is still gaining her trust back with humans. Her favorite hobbies include rolling around in grass, soaking up some sun with people she trusts, playing with her toys, and naps after a yummy dinner.   She is a well-behaved, happy, and easy-going girl. Most of all, I am a snuggly companion who just wants someone to love. I love the other small dogs in my foster home.   If you are looking for a loyal companion to care for, I would love to meet you.   Bea is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $350 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application* helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ .   *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.May 14, 2026, 11:41 pm

Story
Hi everybody! My name is Ellie. I am the sweetest little girl who loves to snuggle more than anything on Earth. When my brothers and sister are playing, I follow the people around so they will pick me up and put me in their laps for snuggles and kisses. I just love grown up people and little people (aka kids) so much! I cannot get enough attention. I am always sneaking up on people fishing for hugs and kisses … and when I am really lucky I get a nice back scratch which I LOVE! I have the cutest black patch on my right eye and then a patch of black on my back left leg. Foster mommy says my markings make me so unique and adorable! I get along great with my siblings and we all play nicely together. I came to Help A Dog Smile while I was still in my mama’s belly. We were destined to be born in the desert, but we got really lucky and came into the world under the care of nice rescue people. I was born January 31, 2026. I have been introduced to several adults and children to ensure good socialization. My foster mommy thinks I look like a mix of a Jack Russel Terrier and an Australian Shepherd whatever that means! All I know is that I am small, 9 pounds to be exact! When I am all grown up, the rescue peeps think I will be around 25 pounds. I am not gonna stay a puppy forever! I am also gonna live for a long time, like 15 years, so you hafta treat me like a family member cuz I am not disposable for any reason, like if you are moving, having babies, or for any reason! I am not disposable for my entire life with you! Of course, the rescue peeps are smart and always recommend that we all go to training classes to get a good start. That way we can bond, too!! Way too much fun! Get this … I already know how to use potty pads … I could pick up house training easily. My foster mommy does not let us use the dog door because we are so little. We do get to play in the yard 3 times a day when she takes us out and supervises us. Also, I heard my foster mommy say I am spayed, microchipped, and had my first puppy shots. My adoption fee is $350 which helps pay for some of those costs. If you are interested in making me a permanent member of your family, please fill out our online application: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/.  May 14, 2026, 11:41 pm

Friends! Help me find the PURRFECT home!! Lolly(white) and Grizzly(tan) are a bonded mother-daughter pair. They will only be adopted together, which has made it hard to place them. They are also nervous dogs who need space and time to warm up. Their purrfect home would be patient and more on the quiet side. They are completely fine with other dogs, but would also be happy to be the only dogs. They actually LOVE kids - so that is a plus. Mommy Lolly is about 2 and Grizzly will be 1 in a few days. They are potty trained and are snuggle bugs once they warm up. They have a reduced adoption fee because they need to go together. They are fine with cats as well. They literally just want a soft bed and a human to snuggle with!
