Hi… my name is Jerry.
Adopted November 14, 2014.
As anyone who’s ever had a Basset hound or a Dachshund can tell you, we’re just about the most delightful dogs in the world — and I’m no exception! I totally ADORE people (and the attention that comes from them!), I have a sweet, happy temperament, love walks and car rides, playing fetch, and am just plain very smart. I’m crate trained, but I’m still working on perfect house manners, but the volunteers making sure I get lots of “good examples” here! I get along with other dogs, am curious about cats, but am not terribly fond of little kids, so all I need to be the perfect companion is consistency in my training. If you’ve got that, have I got a deal for you!

Adopted offsite October 2, 2014.
LYLA is a smart, energetic, eager-to-please 7-month-old Heeler/Mini-Australian Shepherd mix. She is a sweet, people-oriented dog who was rescued about 4 months ago by a family who already had 3 dogs and 2 kids. She has an easy-care merle, black and tan coat, and her tail was docked by original owner. Lyla is a wonderful companion, but needs a new home since she is too energetic for her big dog friend who has recently become disabled. So although she is totally housebroken and crate trained, she has to remain in her outside pen most of the time. Lyla quickly learns new things but is happy to have frequent reinforcement. She knows shake, sit, down, wait, and will twirl around on command. She loves to play fetch and to carry sticks on her twice-a-day walks. She does not care for a choke collar and but does well with a harness. She loves children, being in the rain, and is an excellent car traveler. Cats are unknown. Lyla is healthy, has been spayed, and is up to date on her shots. There is no adoption fee.
If you will welcome Lyla into a loving home as part of your family, please call Ellie between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-396-4243.

Hi… my name is Lola.
Adopted October 8, 2014.
It’s true what they say — blondes really DO have more fun! And that’s what you’ll have when you take me home! An older couple adopted me as an 8-week-old puppy, but as those things go, I got to be a bit too much for them to handle — especially since my dad had some health problems. I lived with an older dog and two cats, and we all got along fine, so I’m sure I’d love to have another doggie friend to romp with. I’m a small young heeler mix and all I need to make my life complete is someone who has just a few months of consistent training to turn me into “Patty Perfect.” I know I’ve got the smarts if you have the time!

Hi… my name is Sammi.
Adopted October 23, 2014.
The first thing that you might notice when you meet me is an urge for some butterscotch/vanilla swirl ice cream! The second will be how outgoing, happy, and dynamic I am! My mom adopted me when I was 8 weeks old, but she didn’t have enough time to devote to my energetic lifestyle. Here’s what she said: “Sammi is highly intelligent, high energy, high drive, affectionate, and a quick learner. She needs an ACTIVE family! She’s perfectly house- and crate-trained, knows heel, come, sit, stay, wait, quiet, off, give, and bring it (she’s still working on “leave it” and “down”). She responds to firm, consistent, and loving leadership and would enjoy a active life running and hiking with her person.” If that sounds like you, let’s chat!

Hi… my name is Buster.
Adopted December 6, 2014.
My family adopted me from TALGV when I was eight weeks old and although they loved me to pieces, I wasn’t getting along with the young kids that visited the house (but I was fine with “my own” kids), so I guess a new home is in my future. My people said that I’m loyal, faithful, very protective of my family, and well, just basically a real sweetheart. I’m about 15 months old now and have turned into an eye-catching mix of Corgi (check out the ears and feet) and Chihuahua (a real surprise if you see my baby pictures!). I have perfect house manners (I can use a doggie door and am crate trained), and love being part of the action, so I’m ready made for a home that will appreciate my attributes!

Hi… my name is P J.
Adopted October 8, 2014.
It’s amazing what miracles a little love and patience can work! I had been “living rough” in Arivaca for several months, relying on the kindness of strangers for food. After the volunteers rounded me up and brought me here I was pretty frightened for a while, but as the days have gone by, I’m finding that life (and the humans who go along with it) really can be grand and am coming out of my shell more each day seeking attention. I’m a small shepherd mix girl (they think I might have some Kelpie in me, too), and if you spend a bit of time sitting with me you’ll see that all I really want is a safe home and a loving family that I can shower with loyalty and gratitude.

Hi… my name is Crystal.
Adopted December 2, 2014.
I can tell you I am one happy camper to be here! A kindhearted woman found me in Elephant Head eating plastic and cardboard. It was obvious that I’d recently had puppies, and since I had severe bite marks they assumed I gotten them defending them from predators (sadly my babies were nowhere to be seen). I was so exhausted when I arrived, that I slept for two days! Well, my wounds have been treated and I’m on my way to healing, so I can rest easy now knowing that the volunteers will make sure I find a family that can shower me with affection to help me forget my ordeal. I’m a sweet hound/heeler mix, and I sure am looking forward to my new lease on life!

Hi… my name is Ricardo.
Adopted October 11, 2014.
You have to meet me in person to appreciate what a big guy I am (85 pounds!), as my pictures don’t quite do my size justice. The Wal-Mart parking lot seems to have been getting its share of strays lately, and I’m one of them. Maybe I escaped from a car (although the windows would have had to be been WAY down for that!), or maybe I was abandoned, but I’m here now in all my glory, waiting to find a “big dog” family (with plenty of space!) looking for a guy like me to love. I’m a handsome shepherd/Doberman mix, about 4 years old, and the volunteers say that I’m a quiet fellow and a “true gentle giant.” Why not come see for yourself – it might just be love at first sight!
