Goliath-

• Neutered Male
• 79 pounds
• 6 years old
• ID#: 830498

Goliath is BACK after a nice break, and he’d like to share his own bio, in his words, because he’s cool like that!

Hello peoples of the interwebsnet. Is Goliath saying comes sees me and mys friends Saturday at Tucson Rescue Now from 11s to 3s (if my foster gets me there on time).

It’s been a cool minute since Iz been there. I had a little CCL tear and have been taking it easy. My foster mom recently moved and has a low bed for me so’z im not jumping really highs or haves a longs way down when I get off. She spoils me.
A few things about me that haven’t changed…

I still snore loud like a freight train. It’s so loud that foster mom wears ear plugs
I still likes Trader Joe’s white cheddar cheese puffs but don’t get lots of them anymore (because they make me toots).

I loves playing with my ball and will take it on walks with me (like I did today). And I am reallys good at finding it in the house or yard.

I can be a little stubborn, but I look darn cute when I am. My foster mom just laughs at me sometimes when I get that way.

I am a fantastic loose leash walker unless I get a pep in my step. I can’t goes too far because I gots bad knees, so I am not a running or hiking dog. I’m best taking zzzzzzs on the sofa or one of my beds or binge watching shows.

And I loves to rides in the car though I have to be belted in now because I tried to say “hi” to a dog when we were stopped at a light.

So comes sees me and get some Valentines love because I loves peoples. The other pups give good loves too, so if you are on your own for da Valentines, come get some unconditional puppy love. Even if you’ve got someone for the day, still come by and says “hey.”

Big G
Goliath

Stop in Saturday (2/14) from 11am to 3pm to meet me or message me through our Facebook page or email info@tucsonrescuenow.org for more information!

Pup-

Pup came to the shelter last summer after he lost his owner. Severely overweight and with some significant health issues, he was lucky to land in a loving foster home right away. During his time with his foster, he has lost a tremendous amount of weight and thanks to help from Friends of PACC, he is visiting our neighbor, A Loyal Companion, where he gets swim therapy and has learned to use his doggy wheelchair, which has improved his quality of life–he gets to go for walks with his foster crew now! His wheels are part of the package deal with this great boy. He’s housebroken, gets along with big and little dogs in the home (he’d love to meet any new doggy pals), and he’s looking for a loving home to spend all of his golden tomorrows. He is available to adopt, and his adoption includes a session at A Loyal Companion to help you learn how to work with his cart and harness.

This week he is with us Thursday & Friday (2/11 & 2/12), so if you are wanting to meet him, stop by one of those days, between 11am and 3pm!

Come meet him at Tucson Rescue Now, located at 4752 E. Grant Rd. (SE corner of Grant and Swan), open Thursday through Sunday from 11am to 3pm, or message us through our Facebook page, or email info@tucsonrescuenow.org for more information!

Astrid-

• Spayed Female
• 59 pounds
• 8 1/2 years old
• ID#: 841285

Astrid is adored by her long-term foster family, especially the two young boys she loves to play with! They want her to find the very best forever home. She loves car rides, is a huge snuggler (she even comforts the kids when they’re crying), plays a little fetch, appreciates a spirited game of tug and enjoys rolling in the grass. She’s a great mix of play time and just hanging out with her people. She is technically a senior, but you’d never know it; she enjoys life and loves to de-squeak toys in record time. She was previously housed with male dogs at PACC, although after being the one and only dog in the home, she seems to prefer it that way. This special gal will steal your heart! She is available to adopt.

Harley-

• Neutered Male
• 87 pounds
• 9 years old
• ID#: 724301

Harley is a big boy who arrived as a stray at PACC recently. A previous owner shared some info about him:

He is a calm, laid-back dog and a true couch potato. He does well with respectful kids who understand boundaries. He gets along with most dogs, but does need an intro before he heads home with a new pal. He previously lived with his brother, so having a dog friend might be good for him. He enjoys toys, but no stuffing please, as he likes to eat it. They say that he may chase cats at first, but settles down quickly and has never harmed one. He enjoys walks and does best with a Gentle Leader/head halti rather than a collar or harness. He can clear a 5 foot fence; he needs a secure yard and to be supervised when he is outside. He’s been known to enjoy emptying trash cans.

We have found that if he finds a toy he likes, he really enjoys playing fetch and even a little bit of tug. He’s a really friendly boy who loves people. He is available to adopt or foster.

Monty-

• Spayed Female
• 47 pounds
• 3 years old
• ID#: 877456

Monty originally landed at PACC as a stray. She is currently in a foster home and has become a confident and playful girl. She gets along with other dogs, and enjoys her time in our play yard. She’d love to meet a new dog friend(s) before she heads home. She is a friendly girl who likes to meet new people and really loves her walks. She has discovered the joys of playing with toys and chasing a ball, and she doesn’t mind being a lap dog. She is available to adopt.

Come meet her at Tucson Rescue Now, located at 4752 E. Grant Rd. (SE corner of Grant and Swan), open Thursday through Sunday from 11am to 3pm, or message us through our Facebook page, or email info@tucsonrescuenow.org for more information!

Cochise-

• Spayed Female
• 75 pounds
• 6 years old
• ID#: 888466

Cochise arrived at PACC after her person passed. She is pretty shut-down (understandably), and shelter life makes her nervous. She has done ok in play group, so a furry pal might be ok; she’d like to meet them before heading home, please. She walks nicely on leash, loud sounds like big garbage trucks spook her. While she’s not big into toys yet, she does enjoy yummy treats and gentle pets. She is looking for a calm loving place to call home. She is available to adopt or foster.

Ellie-

• Spayed Female
• 70 pounds
• 7 years old
• ID#: 884620

Ellie arrived at PACC as a stray, so we don’t know what her life was like prior to arriving at PACC. She is currently kenneled alone at the shelter, and she wouldn’t mind being your one and only. She’d appreciate meeting any other dogs in the home before she gives her paw stamp of approval. She loves people and enjoys giving affection as much as she likes to receive it. She walks nicely on leash, and really loves to amble along and smell all the smells. She will also sit nicely and give her paw for treats, which she takes gently. She is available to adopt or foster.

Kaia-

• Spayed Female
• 80 pounds
• 8 years old
• ID#: 878948

Kaia’s recent foster breaks have been so good for her, and her foster has great things to share about her:

Kaia is such a sweetheart! It has been an absolute pleasure fostering her. Let me count the ways:
1. Lovable – She’s a cuddler who’s happy to sleep beside me while I’m working – and functions as a great foot warmer when she’s laying under my desk. However, her forte is curling up on the couch and laying her head in my lap.
2. Friendly – She’s a people person.
3. Quiet – Kaia doesn’t bark, snore, or slurp. Okay, she does bark at the Amazon guy, but she doesn’t bark at people or dogs walking by when we’re out.
4. Polite – She greets me with a smile and wagging tail, but never jumps up. She takes treats like a dainty princess. And it is simply below her royal status to beg for attention or food.
5. Easy-going – Calm, content. She is so over with separation anxiety, chewing up toys or shoes, counter surfing, and hiding socks. Let’s just chill, momma!
6. Easy walker – We walk short distances throughout the day, with respect to her mild arthritis. I’d say that 95% of the time it’s loose-leash heaven with a normal harness and allowing some scratch and sniff. However, she can tense up, tug and glare hard at some dogs. Then we cross the street and reverse course. If needed, I pull her close, distract her, turn her away from the sight of the other dog, and ask her to sit. Very manageable.
7. Surprising – It’s true she spends the day rotating through different sofas, soft rugs, and the dog bed in my bedroom. Yet she has bursts of playful energy. For instance, when we walk, I never know when she’s going to break into her Best of Show brisk trot. She acts like she’s taking a victory lap at Westminster, leaving me trotting beside her like one of the matronly handlers in sensible shoes.
8. Low-maintenance – At some point in our lives, we want to simply relax with a loyal roommate. This dog has got the personality and the good soul to be that best friend.

She would prefer to be your one and only, and a home with adults would be ideal, please. She is available to adopt or foster.

Come meet her at Tucson Rescue Now, located at 4752 E. Grant Rd. (SE corner of Grant and Swan), open Thursday through Sunday from 11am to 3pm, or message us through our Facebook page or email info@tucsonrescuenow.org for more information!

Pup-

• Neutered Male
• 80 pounds
• 10 years old
• ID#: 866818

Pup is an amazing dog who doesn’t focus on what he can’t do. He loves the freedom being in his cart gives him when it comes to walks and cruising around the store and especially in the play yard at Tucson Rescue Now. He enjoys meeting new people when he is out and about, like his new friend Charlie. Pup will be with us again next week, so plan to stop in and meet this inspiring guy.

He is typically with us on Thursdays and Fridays, so be sure to check our Facebook page and our website each of those mornings (10am) to see if he’ll be with us. If you’d like more info, please feel free to contact us: info@tucsonrescuenow.org

Monkey-

• Neutered Male
• 65 pounds
• 8 years old
• ID#: 631679

Monkey has been at PACC before, and was lucky enough to find a wonderful foster home where he gets to live with two other dogs. He is looking for his forever home, and he’d love to meet a new doggy pal, or he’d also be happy to soak up all the love for himself. He was also at TRN about 2 1/2 years ago when we were still at LA Encantada, so we welcome him back to the TRN family!

His foster tells us:

Monkey is the biggest sweetie. He was adopted through PACC and then found as a stray a few years later. He adores his people.

He loves:
*Stuffed animals
*Water: he likes to lay in kiddy pools and play with the hose water when you water plants.
*Walks although he’s a bit dog reactive on the leash and pulls. We use a gentle leader with him.

He is good with dogs off leash. PACC told us he was great in play and with his kennel mates. He is also the MOST gentle dog with play. He is so careful with his mouth. (Unless you’re playing tug) then he does not pay attention to where your hand is lol. He’s very active and full of life for sure.

He does counter surf and bark when someone knocks but usually calms down quickly once’s he meets the person. Overall he’s a really great dog.

He is available to adopt.

Dill-

• Neutered Male
• 73 pounds
• 2 years old
• ID#: 878632

Dill came to PACC after he was shot in the leg. Thankfully, PACC was able to save his leg and he is healing from his physical trauma. He’s been living with his wonderful foster for a while now and they have this to share about him:

He’s done well with other dogs during his time at PACC, including sharing a kennel, and he would like to meet any new doggy pals before he gives his enthusiastic paws up of approval.

Some of his favorite things: belly rubs, learning new things, car rides, squeaky toys, NAPS!

He’s house-trained, crate-trained, not destructive and melts into affection.

Loves adventures, especially trips to Mount Lemmon.

Super smart, he already know: Sit, Stay, Come, Wait and Look

He is looking for his forever home and will be coming to TRN to help him find his new person/family. He’s a young guy and continues to heal, and he’s ready for his next chapter! He is available to adopt.
