✨ Meet Theo! ✨
Theo is a 9-month-old Mini Goldendoodle with a gentle heart and a sweet, lovable soul. He can be a tad bit shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—once he gets a little attention and reassurance, he warms up quickly and becomes your loyal shadow 💕
Theo loves people and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, though he especially enjoys palling around with medium-sized dog friends for playtime and companionship 🐾🐕
He’s a smart boy who already knows how to use a doggy door and has been pad trained. He’s currently working on outside potty training, and with his eagerness to please, he’s making great progress. Theo is also kennel trained and leash trained, setting him up for success in his forever home 🎓🦮
Theo is ready and waiting for a loving home to call his own, where he can continue to grow in confidence and shower his family with affection 💛🐾

✨ Meet Gremie! ✨

Gremie is a 7-month-old, teeny tiny Terrier mix with a HUGE personality packed into her 7-pound body 🐾💖 This little lady is a total love bug—she gives serious kisses 😘 and will immediately flop over for belly rubs the moment you look at her 💕 Belly scratches are basically her favorite hobby.

Gremie is a social butterfly 🦋 and gets along great with all dogs, cats, and people. She’s small enough to be easily scooped up and carried around 👜—no sore backs here! She just wants to be wherever her people (and furry friends) are.

Gremie’s quirks 😄
She can be a bit of a door dasher when she’s still getting used to a new home 🚪💨, so fast feet or a secure entryway are a must at first. Gremie does not like being alone and is happiest when she has another dog buddy to keep her company 🐕🐕. She’s also not a fan of kennels—and she’ll let you know with her very special bark 🎶 that sounds suspiciously like a low smoke-alarm battery 🔔😂 Because of this, apartment living may not be her ideal setup. On the bright side, she’s an excellent little security system and will alert you to any potential intruders 👀🚨.

If you’re looking for a tiny pup with a big heart, endless affection, and a hilarious personality, Gremie might be your perfect match 💘🐾

Please welcome Aiko to the pack. 🫶🏼

Here is his story:

We received an email asking to help a dog with neurological issues as he was born with Distemper. His owner, Abby,, was in a horrible car accident that has left her in the hospital, unable to care for herself let alone Aiko so she had to find a place for him at her mother in laws for the time being. The mother in law was caring for a grandchild by herself and worked full time so Aiko was kept in diapers and in a play pen majority of the time. She could not care for him any longer so she was threatening to turn him into the shelter. This broke his owners heart and she began reaching out to rescues and organizations that could help.

His owner saved him after being kept in a kennel for the first year of his life. He saved her as well at a very low point in her life. As we spoke on the phone, it was evident that she only wanted what was best for him, even if it meant she had to give him up for good. She didn’t know what taking care of a special needs dog required. The despair in her voice was impossible to ignore.

We are overflowing with dogs in need and were definitely not prepared to add on another challenging case, but sometimes you’ve gotta stretch your limits to support well-meaning dog owners as well.

We want Abby to heal, knowing that her baby is safe and getting everything that he deserves. We reached out to our friends at The Be Like Josh Foundation to get some much needed guidance. Teamwork makes the dream work 😉 So here we are, ready to embark on a crazy new adventure and learn tons along the way.

Some info on Aiko:

He is a sweetheart with a zest for life! If there’s food involved - he will figure out how to get it. He loves people, dogs, outdoors and CATS!! He is being fitted for a custom wheelchair. We don't have a complete diagnosis of his condition yet, but we know his cerebellum was affected, similar to having Vertigo. His balance is off but when his brain is calm, he “walks” straight. His front legs are bowed due to not using his paws and legs as he should have so we are trying to correct that. He can go to the bathroom on his own. He does not need to wear diapers. Most often times he will tell you he needs to go, but you have to be watching him. He enjoys playing with other dogs and toys. He’s a total sweetheart, very deserving of a life filled with love and he gives it back in return a thousand times over.

If you are open to an adorable little guy with special needs or know anyone that is, please send us an email! [email protected]

Meet Dylan ♥️ 7- 8 months old, small/medium Australian Shepherd

Dylan is a sweet, soft-natured young Aussie who enjoys being close to his people and sticking with his pack. He’s on the quieter side compared to many Aussies, but he’s friendly, affectionate, and always ready to snuggle. Smart and eager to learn, he’s the type of dog who pays attention, tries hard, and thrives with routine and guidance.

Personality:
* Gentle, sweet, and people-oriented
* A little shy and quiet at times, but very connected
* Intelligent and motivated — classic working-breed mindset
* Loves structure, learning, and being included in daily life

Social:
* Loves other dogs and feels confident with dog friends around
* Enjoys group play and being part of a “pack”
* Snuggly and affectionate with his people

Ideal Home:
Dylan thrives when he’s included in daily activities and treated like part of the team. His best fit is a home with at least one other friendly dog to play with and help guide him, plus someone who understands (or willing to learn) the needs of a young working breed puppy.

👉 Dylan’s adoption application can be found here: azdawgz.org

Happy Tails News 📰 !!

Remember Roxy? She was in our hospice program because we were told that she only had days or weeks to live. She had new puppies to raise and we worried she wouldn’t be around long enough to do so. Thankfully she was able to but we still thought we didn’t have much time with her and here she is a year later, showing us all how tough she is!

Her latest foster, Deb, asked to adopt and give Roxy an official family to call her own. We said “YES” 🫶🏼. We were happy to reunite with her in November when she was featured as an ambassador dog for Phoenix Animal Care Coalition (PACC911) with the help of Williams for nominating her. Huge thanks to her foster moms, PACC911 and Two Pups Wellness Fund for helping her come this far! Enjoy the photos!ln
