Next week we are starting a long overdue project on our water lines. Before that could be done, we needed to clean up one of the larger pastures from all the tumbleweeds that have grown. We'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Southwest Arizona Trash swatrentals.com for bringing out the large roll-offs that this job required. Great people and great company.

THIS DOG IS NOT AT OUR RESCUE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING HIM HIS PERFECT HOME PLEASE CONTACT VIKKI, INFORMATION IS AT THE END OF THE POST.

Sonny is a 2-year-old Golden Retriever mix(?) who is altered, current on vaccines and microchipped. Sonny loves to play ball and tug with his toys. Sonny is great with other dogs of all sizes and is respectful. During a brief training session, he represented with typical Golden behavior of excitement which he was redirected and calmed. He knows to sit, shake, and watch me among a few other tricks that he does consistently and joyfully.

Sonny would be a great family pet as he loves everyone and just wants to be a part of the pack. If you are interested in learning more and/or meeting Sonny, please contact Vikki McLaughlin @ 954-292-9740. Home check required.

We’ve had an unusually warm summer this year. Normally our temperatures don’t stay in the 100’s and high 90’s this long, but here it is mid-August and we’re still in the mid 90’s. With all that being said we are so grateful for the dedication our volunteers have shown coming out and walking and playing with the dogs. They take them for a little shorter walk, then into one of the play yards where they can cool the dogs off in the pools, then into the barn in one of the meet and greet rooms for a treat, and to sit and relax and get some belly rubs. The dogs are so happy and content that once taken back to their bunkhouses they go inside the air-conditioned room and crawl up on their bunks to take a well-deserved nap.
Our volunteers, like every rescue and shelter, are the heart of this organization. They come out in the extreme cold, the rain, snow, and yes, these hot, hot summer days, to give love to these sweet dogs. Our thanks doesn’t say enough, but at the end of the day the happy tails say it all.

So, extra treats and belly rubs today!

"DOGust 1st," which falls on August 1, marks the unofficial birthday for pets whose owners adopted them at the shelter or from a rescue but don’t have a clear answer of when their furry friend was born, according to online pet marketplace Chewy.com.

The day got its start in 2008, thanks to staff at the North Shore Animal League America, which calls itself the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization.

We recommend this great place for the awesome owners and staff, the great food, and a lot of fun for the whole family.

COURTESY POSTING, THESE DOGS ARE NOT AT THIS RESCUE. IF YOU CAN GIVE THEM THEIR PERFECT HOME, PLEASE CONTACT VIKKI @ [email protected]. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME HOME BUT, IF POSSIBLE, IT WOULD BE GREAT. IF YOU CAN'T ADOPT THEM, CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.
THANK YOU

These dogs have lost all of their people due to passing in a very short time and a bit confused as to why they are also losing their home. They have been together for 7 years.

Dude is a 9 yo Cattle Dog blend, weighs #30, is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is a bit submissive/quiet so would do best in a quiet home that offers comfort and safety. Dude has lived with cats and another dog companion, is doggy door trained and will only bark when needed.

Poppins is a 7 yo Poodle blend full of life and love. Poppins weighs #20, is spayed, current on vaccines and loves to play with toys. As much as she loves to play she also loves to be close to her person and cuddling. Poppins has lived with cats and another dog companion, is doggy door trained and will only bark when needed.

Little Cotton had a great day today and is looking for her perfect home. She got to be in the play yard with a couple of the other puppies, played in the pool, and even picked out her own toy to play with. Cotton would do best in a home with no small children, and another dog her size and age to play with. She is still a bit shy but is making great progress. If you would be interested in meeting her and possibly giving her the home she deserves, please call AARF Animal Rescue and Sanctuary at 928-925-7219.

About 10 months ago we took in a mom with a litter of puppies. Aspen, now Izzy, was one of those pups. She was born with a severe heart murmur. We posted her for adoption and a great loving family called and fell in love with her immediately. They had the heart checked numerous times to see if there was any change. On one of the last visits, they found out Izzy had developed a liver shunt. Although this was very concerning, they kept an eye on her and let her be her loving puppy self.
About a week ago Izzy started slowing down, they knew this was not normal for a 10-month-old pup, so they took her to the vet once again. The sad news came that she had developed many shunts, and the liver was shutting down. The family made the hard decision to let her gain her wings and cross the rainbow bridge and be the puppy she deserved to be. Izzy couldn't have found a more loving home and is missed terribly by her parents and her two playmates. Run free sweet Izzy, you will be missed in your home but never forgotten in our hearts.
