Good morning Cruzaders… we first would like to say thank you to the countless volunteers who have come to help us clean and repair what we could to make the new building better than what we walked in to. Sadly, the repairs needed are way beyond our financial capability. We are leaving the building as soon as possible. That being said, we are in need of adopters and fosters for the dogs and 2 kittens housed there. We will be operating by appointment all week and will be arranging an event there this Sunday. We need to clear the shelter as we intend to vacate no later than 3/31. This has been an enormous financial burden as we were never able to facilitate public adoptions due to the unsafe conditions of the building for our potential guests. If you have thought about adding a puppy or dog to your family, message us. We will work with you to find the perfect family member. ♥️ I will also add, we are not closing down! We will be moving back to a foster based rescue until we find a space in the future. We have been saving dogs for almost 11 years… ♥️

Good evening Cruzaders! 5 month old Lex Luther is back on the market. This adorable little tripod loves other dogs, loves kids, loves people…. We could keep going but you get the point… Alex is house trained and uses the dog door like a champ. He loves to catch crumbs from the babies and he likes to chill and relax. This little guy is amazing…. He gets around great and just needs some help getting down from the bed or other furniture since he is missing his front leg. Lex’s adoption fee is $400. Please complete our adoption questionnaire and we will contact you to set up a meet and greet…. Don’t let this cute little puggle sneak by you!

Good evening Cruzaders… meet Oso… this 5 month old German shepherd mix is the cutest, funniest guy! He loves the camera and was photo bombing everyone while we were trying to take pictures today. 😆 Oso is getting neutered on 3/19 and will be ready to go home! He is fully vaccinated and microchipped. He loves people and seems to be slightly scared of dogs his size and bigger, but he did well after having a little time and space to warm up. His adoption fee is $400. Please complete our adoption questionnaire and we will contact you to set up a meet and greet.

Cruzaders…. Please tell me how this gorgeous sweet boy of ours is still here? Severus is an amazing 2 year old Great Dane. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully vetted. He has recovered from his callus removal surgery and is so very ready for his forever home. His favorite thing in the world besides food is playing with his stuffies. ♥️ this boy is 116 #. He solidly uses the doggy door and loves his bed and blankets. He does need a little work on his listening skills and house manners but believe me, he catches on quick. He does know sit… he has been good with kittens we introduced him to and he has done well with dogs he has met. We will absolutely require a house with a yard for this boy… he’s just not an apartment Dane. His adoption fee is $600…. This may seem high but his medical bills alone while in rescue have been just over $1800. Not to mention, his food bill will likely run $200-$300 a month. Danes are expensive to maintain and we want to make sure our dear Sev is taken care of for the rest of his life. ♥️ please complete our adoption questionnaire and we will contact you to set up a meet and greet.

Good afternoon Cruzaders. We are in dire need of donations. Last week our medical came in at $1904. We are scheduled for several vet visits this week and 8 more spay and neuters. With the costs of the building and working on getting things together for stability moving forward, we need help. We are going through 30 pounds of puppy food and about the same of adult food every day. We had one adoption this past weekend and we are finalizing one this week. Please if you can, help us with our medical as I covered about $1150 with my own money last week and I simply do not have that to contribute this week or I would. Donations can be made via Zelle at 480-570-0914 (Andrea Smith), Venmo , checks can be mailed to PO Box 67626, Phoenix, AZ 85082, and we can always use Costco gift cards. PayPal seems to charge fees… and you must be careful with Venmo as someone made a duplicate/ fake account using a double s at the end. It takes a village, and as always, we appreciate ours! ♥️

Good morning Cruzaders! Meet Ruben. This gorgeous 15 month old male boxer is looking for his forever home or a foster family. He is currently on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. He is currently living with a cat and a small dog. We are told he is mostly house trained… he is good on leash and not a runner. Ruben is deaf so knowing what this entails is pertinent to his placement. This boy is in his 3rd home due to his special abilities. Please help us find his forever family. He promises he is worth it. ♥️ Adoption fee is $500. Please complete our adoption questionnaire and we will contact you to set up a meet and greet.

***$250 adoption fee through 3/16! ***
Good afternoon Cruzaders! We have 3 puppies left from our lab/ boxer/ pit mix litter. These puppies are so sweet and well behaved. They are 4.5 months old, fully vaccinated, spayed/ neutered, microchipped, and vetted. Their adoption fee is $400. We have Sparrow, Willow, and Drifter still looking for homes. Consider giving one of these kiddos a forever home. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. ♥️♥️♥️

🐾 Supporting Cruz’s Crusaders on Their Journey 🐾

This month, Pops for Paws Foundation has awarded its $600 rescue grant to Cruz's Crusaders 🎉💙

Recently, they secured a lease for their very own adoption center, but unexpected costs from the building’s poor condition have made the journey tougher. We hope this grant helps ease some financial stress as their dedicated volunteers work to build the safe, loving space they’ve dreamed of for rescued animals.

Your support makes this possible—thank you for helping us help them! 🐶🐾
