Meet Maestro!

At just 2–3 years old, Maestro is a silly and snuggly guy with a bit of a hearing impairment. Whether that’s congenital or just excellent boundary-setting is still up for debate.

Maestro’s ideal day includes sticking close to his favorite person (basically any human he meets), hanging with a doggie BFF, and casually wandering into the dead center of the prettiest bushes he can find for a stylish photo op or a quick game of hide-and-seek. Who doesn’t stop to smell the roses anyway?

This guy is kennel trained when snacks or snuffle mats are involved, great on car rides, and turns every stranger into an instant friend. When he’s not basking in the sun, he’s busy surveiling the neighborhood.

Maestro is full of character, affectionate, and ready to settle into a home that appreciates a big hearted pup with tons of charm.

Meet Lainey, a sweet 7 month old Border Collie mix (maybe with a hint of Aussie charm!) we really are not sure! 😊 Lainey is a gentle medium-sized pup who's a bit shy at first, but don't let that fool you—give her treats, some doggy friends, and plenty of love, and she’ll blossom into a respectful member of your home!

Lainey thrives with a best bud by her side, so we’re looking for a home with another sweet, playful pup to show her the ropes OR a family willing to adopt her and one of her foster siblings! With a little patience, she’ll shine bright and fill your life with joy. Want to give Lainey the love she deserves? 🐾❤️

A confident canine companion would be the perfect plus to help her conquer the world! 💕 Want to take the time to build a bond? Stella's definitely worth it.

WHO NEEDS CASH???

Today is the LAST DAY to enter to win this 50/50 raffle!

Support our mission to help dogs in need here in Maricopa County. Remember, DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

🎉🚨 EMERGENCY FLUFF-ASSISTANCE NEEDED! IT'S A DAWGZ TAILZ & WAGZ 50/50 RAFFLE EXTRAVAGANZA! 🚨🎉

Hey, you glorious humans! Ever wanted to be a hero and potentially win enough cash to buy an entire fleet of squeaky toys (or, you know, pay your electric bill)? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because Dawgz Tailz & Wagz, your favorite 501(c)(3) rescue out of sunny Phoenix, AZ, is launching a 50/50 Raffle that's so good, it's practically illegal (but don't worry, it's totally legit!).

🤑 What's a 50/50?

It's simple, folks! You throw money into a giant digital pot. At the end, we wave our magic wand (OK we do a wheel spin) and HALF the pot goes to YOU, the lucky winner! The other HALF goes to us, to save more adorable, goofy, and sometimes slightly broken Dawgz!

🎟️ How to Enter:

⭐️ Tickets are $5 each. Donate in increments of $5 to purchase your tickets!

⭐️ You MUST Note 50/50 when you make your donation. This ensures your contribution is counted toward the raffle pot!

⭐️ If you cannot make a note on your donation platform (like Venmo, PayPal, etc.), please immediately COMMENT on the original raffle post with your name and the number of tickets purchased so we can acknowledge it and ensure your entry is included!

🚨 The raffle will close on Wednesday, December 18th!

Please donate, share, and help us give our medical dawgz the second chance they deserve! Good luck!

Donate here but the best place is to donate directly to this post so that we can see the amount going up!
