Ok, I'm gonna ask again.
Why doesn't anyone want these dogs?
The last time I asked, everyone said adoption fees are too high... well, we took care of that. For the month of October, we've made it 100% FREE to take one of these 4 dogs home. And we have STILL gotten zero applications for them.
These 4 dogs in particular have no fees because it's been over a year since we saved each one from the euthanasia list at our county shelter here in Phoenix. For Jameson in particular, it's been over 2 years. Just living in limbo waiting... that's a long, long time for a dog.
Jameson, 4yo M: This poor guy has neuro damage from distemper as a puppy. He can get startled if you don’t go slow, and has occasional seizures that are managed with meds. He needs an adult-only home. He is a total derp - a happy-go-lucky, smiley guy who just wants to snuggle, but also has some depth perception issues. He can get startled easily (and we think that's why he bit a child in a past adopted home). He is NOT an aggressive dog, but he needs the right home. He absolutely loves other dogs.
Dominic, 3yo M: This guy just tugged at my heart so bad this summer! I just adore him. He had no confidence at all when I first met him over a year ago, but this summer he was a whole new dog - sweet, friendly and honest. He does great with other dogs big and small (no kitties though!). If there are kids in his home they need to be older. He is medium energy and very adaptable - happy to nap or go for an adventure. He was all about snuggles with me!
Luka, 2yo M: This guy is so sweet. He loves to be close to you and snuggle. He's very playful with other dogs but can get a little rough. He needs to be with medium to large dogs who match his energy, or as an only dog. He is good with kids and has lived with kids 6+ - he has no human aggression whatsoever. He does have a prey drive so no kitties.
Bella, 6yo F: This sweet girl is doing so great in her foster home up north! She's adapted well with the other pups and has lived with dogs as small as 15lbs and done well. We have had mixed reports about resource guarding, so we won't place her with kids under 12 to be safe. She does have some separation anxiety, but does better when she's in a home with other dogs to keep her company.
Fill out an app if you want to give one of these longtimers a forever home! They have been waiting so, so long and we took your advice and made them FREE! I'm not sure what else we can do - totally open to ideas, but these pups need homes!
