‼️ Sweet Annabelle💕 needs help ‼️

Annabelle came to the shelter in June after being rescued by community members. 🫶 She had been wandering various greenways and folks were very concerned about her being out in the heat and getting hit by a car… She was skittish at first but ultimately became comfortable and playful with dogs that visited the greenway and followed a family (and their 3 dogs home). She was contained and spent the night with another good samaritan. That kind soul reports that Annabelle was the biggest sweetheart! She allowed her to pick her up, laid in her lap, snuggled on the couch and enjoyed toys. She says she would have kept her except for her own very reactive dog. (See finder’s video in comments)

Fast forward to today and Annabelle has a deadline of 8/28 and needs to be adopted by 6pm on that day. She is not doing well in her kennel and is jumping and frantic. 🥺 She is desperate to be with people and getting her in and out of her kennel has become trickier.

Outside of her kennel, she is the sweetest! She is playful, gives kisses, wants to climb on your lap and loves stuffies.

Annabelle…
1yrs old
Petite 37lbs
Appears dog social -
(Would need time to decompress and slow introductions after her stressful shelter stay)

Come meet Annabelle at MCACC East
1920 S Lewis
Mesa, AZ
M-F 12-6
S-S 12-5

She is currently housed in C Wing (she had a doggie cold but now has been cleared!) Please ask for her at the front desk and staff will set up a meet and greet!

This is adorable and cheeky boy, Roscoe at mcacc west📸❤️
Roscoe is about 3 years old and was surrendered by a family that just wasn’t right for him. They said he got along with the other dog in the home but it did take a little while so he would definitely need slow introductions, but I also think he would be fine flying solo.

Roscoe is so adorable and such a love🥰
I think he would do better with young adult or adult home just based on the notes from the previous family. He appears potty trained and kennel trained. He takes treats well and knows sit, and he walks great on the leash.

And this boy absolutely loves a good butt scratch and a sweet belly rub!🤣❤️

I think he would be such a fun dog and really sweet with the right family. I just really don’t think the lifestyle of the family before was right for him. This boy is so sweet🫶🏼

Wanna meet Roscoe!? Bring the family down to mcacc west today! No appointments needed🙌🏼

Ohh Magnolia 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼…have you even lived if you haven’t met Magnolia?!
This sweet and 4 year old girl was adopted from county years ago and she is now back very overweight and homeless again😭
You would think she would be sad…not this girl!
She brings nothing but happiness when she’s around. She has one of the biggest personalities I’ve met in a while lol. Such a ham!!

Magnolia is such a deserving girl to find forever. She appears potty trained, kennel trained, takes treats gently, affectionate, loves toys and fetch, and she is a MAJOR pool BAE💦❤️☀️

Magnolia does need a family that will get her on a better wellness journey. She needs to lose weight for the betterment of her health. Magnolia does not appear reactive to other dogs, but she would still need the recommended time to decompress and very slow and safe intros to children and other pets.

Meet our beautiful and shy babes, Jenny (Tan-F) & Mounds (Black-M)❤️…and They both could really benefit from foster or adoption🙏🏼
These 2 pups are so similar and need so many of the same things. Both are around 3 years old. They did not come in together and they do not know each other, but they need love in a very similar way🫶🏼.
They are both kind of just existing. Breaks our hearts. They just need a home to build some confidence. Both would not hurt a fly. Jenny and Mounds appear potty trained and kennel trained. They are great on the leash and allowed all grooming. But oddly enough, they both hate the camera as well! 📸🤣

Both are not reactive to other dogs at all. Honestly, other friendly dogs might comfort them. That being said, they are very shy so they will need ALL the recommended time separated and very slow and safe introductions to other animals.

Do you have the capacity to help one of these amazing wallflowers? Come and meet Jenny or Mounds today! No appointments needed 🙌🏼
Or message us for more info!

Sweet + gentle giant Tippy is on the euthanasia list due to needing eye removal surgery, likely caused by glaucoma.

Tippy arrived at the shelter with her 7-month-old baby Junie. We would love to keep these two together, as it is clear they find comfort in each other’s presence. To make this possible, we need funds to cover Tippy’s surgery + a foster that can open their doors to both.

Finding a home for 2 dogs can be challenging, but we do not want to split up this adoring duo .

If you’re local to AZ + able to foster please send us a message🙏🏼

Tippy & Junie

📍Both pups are located at MCACC East in Mesa, AZ

Smokey the happiest big puppy !!! 😊

Poor Smokey was adopted as a young puppy from MCACC then surrendered by his family because they were moving 😭

Thankfully he was left with AWESOME notes so that is great for whoever is interested in adopting him.

They said..
Good with CATS and DOGS of all sizes 🙌🏼
Good with children but still a puppy so he does jump some and can be mouthy with play.

He’s super happy and active
He’s done amazing on public dog walks
He’s around 1 years old
70lbs so he’s a big puppy!!
He’s potty trained and did live in an apartment

He is super playful, active, and affectionate.
He will need an owner who can meet his needs for an active lifestyle and understand he’s still a big old puppy!

Meet my handsome and loving friend, Buff at mcacc east❤️…and could he have a cuter smile!? No, the answer is no lol.
But Buff is very scared at the shelter. He feels happiest when his favorite aunties hold him and snuggle with him. He would love a full time human to give him all the love he wants.
I promise, he will love you just as much back🫶🏼

Buff is about 4 years old and is very gentle and polite, just scared. He does not seem reactive to other dogs, but he is shy so he would absolutely need all the time to completely separated to decompress and very slow and safe introductions to other pets.

Buff also appears to have an old injury to his left eye. It is quite glassy. It is unknown how much he can see out of that eye, but it does not seem to cause him pain and allows you to touch near it. But it would be best if he is adopted and sees the family vet, to have it checked out down the line. Just to be sure.

Wanna meet Buff? Bring the family down to mcacc east today! No appointments needed👏🏼

Oh Buster , YOU ARE SPECIAL!☀️
Buster is about 3 years old and just the most amazing boy. Everyone who meets him falls deeply in love🫶🏼…and y’all know how gaga I am for a cross-eyed pitty😍😍
Unfortunately, Buster is showing kennel stress. But outside of the kennel, this boy is perfection. He is polite, appears potty trained, walks great on the leash, takes treats gently, gives the best kisses, and he’s a pool bae💦💦
In the kennel he has been a little dog reactive with his neighbors, but it’s giving, “I’m bored so I might as well get involved with the chaos” energy. Outside of the kennel he is not dog reactive. However, he is stressed and a big boy. He would ABSOLUTELY need all the recommended time separated to decompress and very slow and safe introductions to other dogs. Kids would most likely be fine as long as they are polite with animals.

This is sweet and gentle boy, Mounds at mcacc west❤️🫶🏼…and what a hidden gem! Mounds is about 3 years old and has been waiting since May for a family. That is absolutely unacceptable! I spent about two hours with him today and he is such a rockstar. He’s just a little shy so he’s kept himself under the radar which breaks my heart😭

This boy is polite, great on the leash, no dog reactivity, takes treats very gently, and potty trained. He’s just a little shy. He needs a second. It’s not painfully shy, he just needs to feel safe. He was not a fan of the camera so I didn’t get the best pictures, but we had a wonderful time together. This dog is such a rockstar⭐️ I would not sleep on this dog another day. He is not dog reactive, but how he is socially is technically still unknown at this time. He would need all the proper time to decompress and very slow and safe introductions.

And he’s a pool babe!!💦💦

This weeks raffle will go straight to helping senior chi chi chongo get the removal of his neck growth so he can properly move his neck again! 💕

Chongo’s owner was given 2 option- put chongo down or pay for an expensive surgery. She was unable to pay for a surgical procedure of any sort. A vet tech who was part of this situation reached out to Four Paws and Friends and we agreed to help Chongo and his owner!

Chongo has his surgery scheduled and will be on the up and up ! ❤️

Hello, I'm Kirby!

I wasn't always here, you know. Once, I lived in a world where magic was as common as a wagging tail. There, I was a brave explorer, sniffing out enchanted trails and discovering hidden treasures. I'm a bit shy and nervous here, but I'm still the same curious, friendly, and gentle soul. I'm eager to explore a new world, your world, with you. I promise, with me by your side, every day will be a magical adventure. Adopt me, and let's start our story together.

Please visit Kirby at the West Valley Animal Care Center in Phoenix located at 2500 S 27th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85009 (27th Avenue, south of Durango).
