Dally-

• Spayed Female
• 33 pounds
• 3 years old
• ID#: 886774

Dally arrived at the shelter when her owners could no longer keep her. She has previously lived with other dogs (large and small according to her notes), so she could do well with a calm and confident (but not bossy) doggy friend. She came in with an old injury to her eye that was not properly treated, and the shelter had to remove her eye. She’s settled in at her foster home and is learning how to be a dog (notes say she previously lived outside). She is a very low key dog until she feels safe, and then her young playful side shows through. She is a very nice size and just looking for a place to call her very own. 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.

Kingi-

• Neutered Male
• 52 pounds
• 7 years old
• ID#: 752726

Kingi is a PACC staff and volunteer favorite, and for good reason! He’s been there far longer than he should be, and that’s given them time to get to know this handsome senior guy. He’s got some arthritis, so he’s not looking to spend his days hiking, but a nice leisurely walk works for him. In play group it takes him a bit to feel comfortable, but with the right dogs, he will even initiate play. Landing in a home with another dog(s) could be just fine, he would just appreciate getting to meet any other pups before he says YES. He enjoys finding a comfy spot to settle in for a nap, and he lets you know when he needs to potty. He also enjoys car rides and walks well on a leash. He is available to adopt or foster.

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!

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 had a wonderful 2 weeks break over the holidays from the shelter, and not surprisingly, they have wonderful things to say 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, she’s had some unfortunate experiences with other dogs while at PACC. 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 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.

This week he is with us Thursday, Friday & Saturday (1/29-31), so if you are wanting to meet him, stop by one of those days, between 11am and 3pm!

Foster Dogs

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.

Pup-

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

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.

He will be joining us on different days, so watch for his posts or email us to check that he will be with us. This week, he is scheduled to be with us on Thursday (22nd) and Saturday (24th). 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!
