Friends of the SV Animal Shelter To support the Nancy J. The Board for this charity is comprised of animal lovers. No salaries are paid...it is a 100% volunteer group.

Brua Animal Care Center with assistance for emergency medical care and rehabilitation of shelter pets and to increase public awareness of animal health and welfare issues in Cochise County This charity has no employees and no office, thus very little in the way of overhead costs. We wish to insure that as many dollars as can be raised (through memberships, events and donations) will go to actual s

ervices and supplies for our homeless pets. While we would be thrilled to be able to do for each and every homeless pet, our monies will always have limits. We will never be able to provide on-going expensive care. We are in hopes of being able to fund the one-time grooming or the one-time surgery to rehabilitate a previously unadoptable shelter pet so they have the same opportunity for adoption that the animals with no physical or appearance issues have. We welcome any and all community members throughout Sierra Vista and Cochise County to become involved in our organization.

🐾 Meet Strider 🐾 DOB: 04/03/2022 | Male | German Shepherd

This handsome heartthrob is looking for his forever home 💙 Strider is smart, loyal, and loves BIG — like, tail-wagging, face-licking, shadow-you-everywhere kind of love. He’s got the brains and the beauty, but he’s still working on the manners 😅

Strider came to the shelter when his previous family couldn’t give him the time he needed after welcoming new little humans. He’s learned a few not-so-great habits along the way, but with the right training and a patient, GSD-savvy family, he’s ready to become the best boy ever 🐶✨

If you’ve got experience with German Shepherds and a heart ready for a whole lot of love, Strider might just be your perfect match 💘

📍 Come meet him and see if your pack is missing one very special member.

🐾 Meet Shower! 🐾 📅 Est. DOB: 10/09/2023 🐶 Male | Shepherd Mix

This handsome heartbreaker was found trotting around a local apartment complex, hoping someone might claim him—but no one ever did. He waited patiently outside an open door, tail wagging, but no one came. Now he's looking for a new beginning. 💔➡️❤️

Shower is a sweet, energetic boy who lives for walks, tail wags, and outdoor adventures. Whether it’s hiking trails or neighborhood strolls, he’s your ride-or-die pup for an active lifestyle.

He’s ready to shower his forever family with love, loyalty, and muddy paw prints. 🐾✨

📍 Come meet Shower and see if he’s the missing piece to your pack!

🖤 Meet Shadow – The Senior Sweetheart With Sass 🖤

At first glance, you'd never guess that this petite 17-year-old queen is in her golden years. Shadow greets her people with gentle head bumps and quick rubs, then kicks back like she’s earned the right to lounge like royalty—which, frankly, she has. She’s got personality in spades: affectionate, mellow, independent, and undeniably charming.

🌸 Health Update: Shadow is in stage 2 kidney failure, but don’t let that scare you off. With proper care—kidney-friendly kibble and canned food—she could still have 1–2 good, comfy years ahead. She’s not in distress and now that her litter box woes have been addressed, she’s using it faithfully.

👵🏼 Why She’s Special: Shadow isn’t looking for a bustling home—just a peaceful retirement where she can soak up sunlight, enjoy cozy snuggles when the mood strikes, and share quiet moments with someone who understands the joy of a senior companion.

🏡 Can You Give Her the Retirement She Deserves? A warm bed, gentle love, and a final chapter filled with comfort and dignity. That’s all she needs. That’s all she wants. And that’s exactly what she’ll give back to you—in her own quiet, loving way.

If your heart has room for one last love story, Shadow is waiting. 💞

ADOPTED and HOME 8/25/2025...this makes me SO happy, she'll have a home for her final years....Thank you!!

Shadow, 17 year old female. You would never know it to look at her, bumps, rubs for short intervals, then happy to ‘kick back’. She has PERSONALITY!

Shadow is in stage 2 kidney failure, so she may only have 1-2 years, but that would be wonderful for her and for you. She is not in distress, uses her litter box (now that the problem has been identified)

Kidney kibble and kidney canned recommended. Can you give this girl a retirement home?

🐶💙 Meet Finlay — the charming short king with a heart full of potential! 💙🐾

📅 DOB: 02/20/2025 Finlay is a sweet little pup who’s already had a big journey. After being adopted from another organization, he found himself surrendered just three weeks later. But don’t count him out — this handsome boy is working hard at a local training facility to become his best self 🐕🎓

While his squishy little face might scream “cuddle me!” 😍, Finlay prefers space and isn’t a fan of being picked up — and that’s okay! He’s learning, growing, and showing his brave, curious personality every day 💪🐾

He’d thrive with a loving home that understands him, supports ongoing training, and lets him blossom at his own pace 🌟💞

🏡 Finlay is ready to find his true forever family Nancy J. Brua Animal Care Center — could it be you?

🐾 Meet Pinto: The Snuggly Heeler Mix 🐾

Pinto was found wandering alone, and though no one came to claim him, he hasn’t lost his faith in people. Now he’s kicking back at the Nancy J. Brua Animal Shelter, dreaming of a cozy couch and a loving human to call his own. 🛋️💛

✨ A certified couch potato ✨ Gentle soul with a heart of gold ✨ Enjoys short walks and long naps ✨ Has some mild vision loss, but that doesn’t slow his tail wags

Pinto might not be high-energy, but his love is steady, quiet, and endlessly loyal. He’s the kind of dog who'll curl up beside you after a long day and remind you what home truly means.

📍 Sierra Vista, AZ | 🐶 Nancy J. Brua Animal Care Center Come meet Pinto today—he might just be your missing puzzle piece. 🧩

Celebrate Safely!

Celebrate Safely!

Meet Scooby, a 3-year-old Labrador retriever mix. He would like to remind all pet owners to keep your animals safe this Fourth of July. Fireworks may lead to anxiety, fear, instant behavioral changes, and cause animals to hide and escape their homes. Scooby recommends making sure you keep your animals safe and secure inside to avoid animals running loose during the Fourth of July Celebration.

Scooby was recently adopted but you can stop by the Nancy J. Brua Animal Care Center to meet other great dogs for adoption during business hours. For more information, give the shelter a call at (520) 458-4151.
