I want so much to be taken care of and loved like I was so many years ago. I am such a good, loving girl. And I like little dogs!!! Please let me show you.'

❤️🐾 Sweet Pup Seeks His Best Friend (Forever) 🐾❤️Every Rocky needs his Bullwinkle. Or so, that’s what Rocky (the 3 y/o, 58lb handsome pittie) thinks! Rocky is also seeking his forever home! He was saved from the euthanasia list at county after he was e-listed for being stressed in the shelter environment. We know, it can be scary there. Especially for a sweet boy like Rocky. Though, ever since he left county and went to his foster home - Rocky has really let his guard down and proven to be a SUPER HAPPY boy! He’s a big goober and never in short supply of entertainment for his foster family. As you can see from the photos — he LOVES his human foster siblings! His foster mom shared the following about him:✅ He’s so sweet, gentle, energetic, affectionate and playful. Great guard dog. Plays fetch. ✅ Likes to play fakeout with his chew toy. Comes up to you with it to play, but when you reach for it, he turns away. He pushes his nose into a dangling hand to get scratches.✅ He enjoys eating and going for walks most! ✅ Rocky is in a home with another medium-sized female dog and the get along well. ✅ Learning leash manners with a trainer because he pulls on the leash when he sees cats or other dogs. Haven’t had a chance to see what he’ll do if actually make contact.✅ He barks and acts cautious around new people but warms up after a bit of exposure.✅ He barks and acts cautious around new people but warms up after a bit of exposure.✅ Ideal home: older kids, and someone home with him most of the time.✅ In a nutshell: he’s an energetic pup who loves being pet and taking walks. He’s very obedient in the home, perfectly house broken, playful, affectionate.Rocky is available through Heart of Infinity Rescue and us is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. … and most importantly: ready for his forever family / home!

Ludo has been returned by his adopter and is available again, not 8/9mos old. He is an incredibly sweet, loving playful dog. He does great with other dogs of all sizes and small kids. He would do well in most homes from what we have seen so far and just needs someone who understands that he is still a puppy and needs patience as he learns and grows. He is a snuggly boy who is full of love and he wants to be part of a family forever!******Ludo is Siren's puppy, born 9/12/23. Siren came from Maricopa County Animal Care & Control and his mother was pregnant when she came into the shelter. His litter was set to be aborted within 2 weeks of his mother giving birth, with all puppies having formed skeletons at the time of rescue. Siren ended up testing positive for tick fever, and her third puppy got stuck in delivery resulting in an emergency c-section being performed. We fortunately were able to have 8 puppies delivered successfully.Adopt Ludo: https://azhuskyrescue.com/adoption-application/
