One Dog (Arizona)

This is what rescue is all about. These sweet Pugs had been looking for a family for the past 4 months. We knew that they needed to be together, which made it a little harder. But, who doesn’t love 2 Pugs instead of just one? lol.

When we received the email from their family we were pretty hopeful that it was meant to be. And after meeting them, we knew that this was the perfect family for them. They even had a Pug before and love their quirky personalities. Check out the dad’s t-shirt.
Frankie & Annette(Mabel) now have 3 darling girls all of their own and we know that they will thrive with all of the love and attention.

Congratulations to everyone! We will miss those two but, couldn’t be happier that they found such a wonderful family.

Paris is such a lovely small poodle. Smart, cuddly, athletic, and pretty chill. He’s up for a nice neighborhood walk and then some cuddling on the couch watching your favorite movie. He loves romcoms and action adventures 🤪

If you’re interested in him please email [email protected]

Have you fostered a dog for us before? If you have and are in good standing with us, please considering a dog for the holidays. I know that our sweet girl Whitney would love a family for Christmas. She’s a great walking partner and probably would love a nice hike.

We also have Paris our small poodle boy. He’s an expert cuddler and all around friendly guy. Loves his people with his full heart.

And you don’t get sweeter than Kirby our Puggle puppy. He’s so ready for a forever and ever family but, would love to have some one on one attention for Christmas.

I just had to share this pic of 2 One Dog alums, living their best lives with an amazing family. Penny (Penelope in rescue) and Bentley(Chicken Pot Pie) are very much loved and adored. Their mama keeps in touch and sends me the best updates.

Thanks to all of our amazing adopters! We couldn’t do this without you!

Kaspian is a beautiful puppy. We aren’t sure if breed exactly. 5 months old. Approx 15 lbs(underweight but, working on it) super sweet and cuddly. Soft and silky coat. I am guessing a Pomsky or a Spitz breed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a forever and ever family. Email [email protected] if you’re interested.

Rally isn’t to happy that I’m not sharing my chocolate biscotti and peppermint mocha. Poor boy doesn’t understand that it’s just not good for him. But, We all love these cozy fall mornings.

Training shouldn’t hurt. Dogs learn best within a positive environment. When they get hurt for doing something wrong, they aren’t learning—they are trying to survive and are in fight or flight mode. Be better and train positively. It’s better for everyone!

Our adoption fees help to cover the costs of the dogs while they are in rescue. We have been getting a few inquiries asking to cut our adoption fees in half because the people can not afford the dog.
This is a red flag to most rescues because having a pet and caring for them appropriately is expensive. And if you can’t afford an adoption fee, you probably can’t afford routine care, let alone emergency care.
We also require adopters that value the dogs lives at least as much as we do. And we prefer adopters who care even more. And are happy to pay the fee to help ensure that the rescue can continue carrying for the dogs in our organization. —Some of which will spend their lives with us, as they aren’t adoptable for various issues. But, we love them anyway and know that they deserve a good life.

As a rescue we do not give dogs away to just anyone. We try to ensure that the dog and family match in activity level and temperament. We know that not everyone is ok with dogs that shed. And that’s ok. But, once we know this about the family we will not suggest or let you adopt a Chihuahua, Lab, Golden, or Pug from us They all shed. And if you’re unhappy then our dog is you going to be unhappy. We want everyone to succeed.

Same goes for a very active family looking for an adventure buddy. We aren’t going to recommend our couch potato pups. They’d much rather go to a home that loves lazy afternoons reading books and watching movies. It’s in everyone’s best interest.

Rescue is very time consuming and expensive. It takes dedication, patience, and a whole lot of love. We do not take our responsibility lightly. Many dogs adoption fees do not even come close to covering their expenses while in rescue. But, there are others that have sponsors that cover some medical expenses so that their fee can go towards a dogs expenses that were far greater than their fee.
Not to mention the daily costs of food, treats, enrichment, and comfort items. It all adds up very fast.

The rescue must continue to bring in more money than goes out, if we want to survive. Basic business sense. And we are a charity to help dogs(plus the occasional other animal) not humans that can not afford a pet.

If you’d like to help our little rescue thrive please consider donating to our PayPal account using [email protected] on the PayPal site.

It could help us save a life or two.

Fascinating info on how our dogs eyes work and how they are able to see better than us in low light.

Ever wondered if dogs can see in the dark? While not fully nocturnal, dogs have superior low-light vision and enhanced senses to navigate dim spaces at night.

Seriously, such a sweet puppy. Fun, athletic, cuddly, and cute. What more could you ask for?

Kirby is an 8 month old Puggle. Just a doll. Great with all other dogs large and small. Good with kids too.

Dogs get a lot of enrichment through sniffing.

Whitney is a wonderful large breed puppy, that is still looking for a new home and family all of her own. Could it be with you?

She promises to be a good girl and give you lots of snuggles and kisses. Approx 8 months old and as sweet as can be. Found as a stray over a month ago as she was shopping at CVS for much needed supplies 🤪

How can anyone resist those big puppy eyes? Please help us find her a family. Share this post far and wide.
