Miss Maggie is an 8-9 month old border collie mix, still very much a puppy at 33 pounds.  She likes to play hard and sleep hard.  She knows how to use the dog door and is housebroken.  At night, she sleeps on her bed in the bedroom, but loves to snuggle on the bed with you in the morning.  She is crate trained and will sometimes lounge in her open crate with a toy or treat, chewing is her favorite pastime.  She has only been crated when both parents are gone (rarely since we both work from home [...]

Say hello to Concho! A real gentleman, Concho likes nothing more than quietly curling up on his blanket and hang with his people. But don’t let that low key demeanor fool you, this boy is a natural born athlete-whether catching a ball in midair, or making Frisbee catches like you’ve never seen, Concho is the star of the dog park. A little shy and gentle, he takes a while to come out of his shell, but once he does, he is loyal as the day is long. Watchful and almost spooky smart, Concho reflects [...]

Cruz is a 3-4 year old boy. Weighing about 45 pounds. He is fostered near Carefree Az. He is very attached to his person. He has lived with various other dogs and gets along well with everyone.

Neutering has stopped his wayward wandering. H [...]

I’m Bobbed Dylan, folk hero, and 6 1/2 mo old male, fully vetted red heeler. I’m staying with two senior dogs at my foster home, and they sure do lay around a lot. I like them, but they can’t quite keep up with my energy. I’m a firecracker, ready to run, and learn some new moves. I’m very sweet and lovable. Big fan of behind the ear scratches and cuddles. I’m a champ in my crate, and I actually like my personal spot where I can chill and relax. Most of all, I feel very safe there. New experience [...]

Betty was a wonderful surprise! She was just hanging out at the shelter when our President went to pull another dog,and there she was! So she was scooped up and brought into our fold. Betty is about 4-5 yrs old, and she is deaf. She is very attached to her person, so she’s never too far away to see your hand signals. She loves everyone! She’s highly intelligent, and learns very quickly. She gets along just fine with the three dogs in her foster home. She does get a little possessive of her perso [...]

Are you looking for an all in one whirlwind, snuggle bug and a couch potato? Then I’m your boy! My foster parents call me “Cheddar” because I love cheese and because I have a “cheesy” smile! I will almost always greet you with a polite play bow-before trying to start a game of tug of war! I view everything as an adventure. I’m a young (9 month) boy just figuring out the world. I am extra diligent, and love to learn. So far, in addition to being crate trained and mostly house trained I sit polite [...]

Meet Madison. She is a very lady like little girl who loves her belly rubs. She is not very interested in retrieving a ball yet but loves her chew toys. She is house trained and crate trained though she prefers not to be confined in her crate and will let you know very clearly.  She is learning the meaning of off but forgets if food is involved. She can be quiet when she wants to be and is a little shy when she hears strange noises. She bounces back as you reassure her it is okay. She learns qui [...]

He loves to play with his sister most of the day, but also loves his naptime. He has been taught to sit and stay on command for a treat. Working on leash training that is progressing slowly but surely. JJ, like his sister, loves the water [...]

Why, you ask, is this lovely girl still on our website and not already adopted? We have asked ourselves that very question and the only reason we can come up with is that she is predominantly black and black dogs, like black cats, are quite often overlooked. Montana is just the sweetest young girl you could ever meet. She loves with her whole heart and she plays that way too! She is a 9 month old ACD/BC mix who is black with blue paws and a blue chest. Montana is living in a foster home with thr [...]
