ANOTHER PUPDATE DNA. SO FUNNY WHAT COMES OUT ON THESE. THE FIRST PICTURE IS OF TUNA (LACEY) WHEN SHE FIRST CAME TO US.

Hello!
I adopted Lacey, who has since been renamed Tuna, last February. We recently got her dna tested and I wanted to share her results with you! I'll attach a photo of the results of a current photo of our sweet girl. I'm not sure how to get in contact with her sister's adoptive parents, but you're more than welcome to share her results!

Two more great adoptions. Star and Pete came in together with Junior. Star was adopted right away, and Pete went home last Friday, Junior is still available.
Star has two loving parents, three dog friends to play with and a couple of cats to learn to love.
Pete also has a dog friend to play with, and sometimes boss around, and two loving parents that think he's just the best boy ever. Happy Tails to these two sweet pups.

A huge THANK YOU and quick update on our little girl Chablis. She had her surgery on Wednesday and is recovering well. She is spending time in Nina's house and getting her meds and hourly short walks out in the yard. While Nina is home, she does let her out of the crate, so she feels more comfortable but does go back in for the night to sleep. It will be about 6 weeks recovery and then we are hoping she can find her perfect home. We THANK YOU all that donated towards this girl's surgery and for all the well wishes sent to her also to High Country Pet Clinic for an awesome job and the care they gave her. We will continue to update her recovery.

Please welcome our 2 newbies, Junior, and Pete. They are Chihuahua/Yorkie mix, although the Chihuahua is definitely dominate in their looks. Pete about 1 1/2 years old and little Junior is only about 5 months old. They are a bit timid when meeting new people but are quick to warm up with the love and attention that they crave. These are small dogs, Junior is probably about 5 lbs., while Pete may be 10 or 12 lbs. We are taking them in on Wednesday for their wellness checks, updating their shots, and scheduling for them to be neutered. If you would like to meet either one of these sweet boys, please call AARF Animal Rescue and Sanctuary @ 928-925-7219. Thank you.

Baxter's, (Bentley), new buddy Slinky. When they first met here at the rescue Baxter was afraid of Slinky because he is just a puppy and plays hard. Now with time and loving life it looks like they've become great friends.

On this day of giving thanks we here at AARF would like to say how thankful we are to all that donate, volunteer, follow, and support our little rescue. We can't say it enough, but without all of you we wouldn't be able to do what we do. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

Newman came to our rescue 7 months ago. He was a very shy dog who wouldn't let us touch him. Newman was happy with other dogs but wanted to be just left alone by humans. We didn't push the issue we just let him be who he was, and we knew when he was ready, he'd trust us. A few months ago, we tried walking him, figuring he had observed all the others going for their walk so he'd want to try it, we were wrong, so we didn't push him. Just this week the volunteers went in to leash up Cotton, his roommate, and Newman came running up excited to maybe go for a walk. Well, we were so surprised, he allowed them to leash him up and off he went. He is still a shy boy, but with more time we know this little man can come around to loving hugs and petting. We love the dedication our volunteers put into all of our dogs, but especially these shy ones. Here is Newman and Cotton on their walk to the play yard.

GOING HOME... Little Ding Ding was reunited with her Dad today. As you can see they were both very excited to see each other. Ding Ding is scheduled to be altered and have her teeth cleaned in a few weeks. The vet suggested to give her a little time away from the babies to dry up. A very happy tails to this family. We were so blessed to be able to help out.

PUPDATE.... After being adopted as a baby IV sadly had to be returned to AARF in October 2020 but within 24hours of arrival a new forever home scooped her up! She is now the queen of her domain and enjoys hunting all the lizards and birds that she can find. Then in March or 2021 Oliver was returned to AARF because his original adopter could not keep him. Forever home to the rescue! IV needed a friend and he was the perfect guy that deserved a second chance. The two of them could not be more fun together! They play almost non-stop. IV prefers sleeping on my legs and Ollie prefers sleeping on my face! They get along with everyone and have been doing obedience school to meet new friends.
