Monty-

• Spayed Female
• 40 pounds
• 3 1/2 years old
• ID#: 877456

Monty has been through the wringer recently. She was found this week up on Mt. Lemmon three WEEKS after she was abandoned by someone who was supposed to be caring for her and keeping her safe. She lost several pounds and is quite skinny now (her pic is from before her ordeal). Thankfully some great folks up on the mountain took turns putting food out for her and she was trapped by an amazing local trapping team. Once they found out where she was, they set a humane trap and less than an hour later, she was SAFE! Now, she needs to find a home that will help her learn how to truly trust again after being let down by humans more than once in her life. She seems to prefer female dogs over males and enjoys some rowdy play time with her dog pal, but not too crazy. She could be happy being your one and only, too. She is nervous out in the world, and who can blame her? She’s not had the best first few years. Let’s help her change all that and find the wonderful foster or forever home that she truly deserves. Come in and meet her and we will be happy to tell you all about how amazing she is! She is available to adopt to a wonderful home, or foster–but only if you are absolutely committed to being the best foster you can be for her.

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!

Little Lady-

• Spayed Female
• 64 pounds
• 10 years old
• ID#: 879096

Little Lady is yet ANOTHER dog from the large dog hoarding case from earlier this year. We’ve helped several find homes, so let’s keep the ball rolling for this sweet senior girl, too! She has had kennelmates during her time at PACC and seems to find courage when she is with them. Having a calm dog who can help her navigate her big new world could be very healing for her. Finding a loving, quiet and patient home is what she most wants in life right now. She walks nicely on leash, albeit a bit nervously at times, and she takes a bit to warm up to new people because she came from a pretty crummy environment before coming to PACC. AS we learn more about her, we will update her info. She is available to adopt or foster.

Bensen-

• Neutered Male
• 76 pounds
• 10 years old
• ID#: 680820

Bensen is a stately gentleman who arrived at PACC when his owners could no longer keep him. He is looking to put shelter life behind him and find a comfy loving place to call home for all the rest of his days. He is such a happy guy, not much seems to faze him. He enjoys snuggling next to you, he loves smelling all the smells while on walks, and is just a joy to spend time with. He does prefer a home with no small dogs, please. 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!

Olive-

• Spayed Female
• 56 pounds
• 5 years old
• ID#: 897918

Olive came to PACC when her previous owner was no longer able to keep her. She shares her kennel at the shelter with a dog she enjoys playing with, so a furry friend in her new home is a definite possibility. She’d also enjoy being your one and only. She is a strong gal, so she’ll need someone who can handle her strength while working with her to continue improving her leash manners. She LOVES to play and splash in the water, and is reported to just be a lovely girl. As we learn more about her, we will update her info. She is available to adopt or foster.

Harley-

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

Harley is a big boy who arrived as a stray at PACC. He loves the ladies, but fun guys are ok in his book, too. He’d like to meet any potential doggy friends before he heads home and would prefer they be mellow and laid back. He loves to spend time in our play yard, and plays with all sorts of toys these days–tennis balls, squeaky toys, and he can make almost any toy work for a spirited game of tug. He likes to take walks and appreciates it if he can smell everything while he is out and about. He is said to be able to clear a 5 foot fence; but we’ve found that once he feels safe and knows he is cared for and not being left alone, he has no desire to roam. He really enjoys his treats and is an avid fan of food in general; he loves mealtime! He recently got to spend the day at a golf tournament and he enjoyed being outdoors in the fresh air and meeting lots of new friends. He rides great in the car and he is a champion nap-taker! He is available to adopt or foster.

Pup-

Neutered Male
• 75 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 challenges, 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. There he gets swim therapy and has learned to use his doggy wheelchair, which has dramatically improved his quality of life. His wheels are part of the package deal with this great boy. He currently prefers to be an only guy, and he’s looking for a loving home to spend all of his golden tomorrows. He is available to adopt or transfer to a new foster, and his adoption includes a session at A Loyal Companion to help you learn how to work with his cart and harness.

Foster Dogs

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.

Astrid-

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

Astrid has been with her loving foster family for a while now, hoping to find her forever home. They bring her to TRN each week, typically every Sunday. While she loves to visit the store, we know she’d really like to meet that special person or family she can call her very own for all the rest of her days! She loves her foster boys, even comforting them when they’re sad. One of her favorite things is to play tug, she is amazingly strong for a gal her age! She enjoys car rides, snuggling is a favorite past-time, rolling in the grass and she’ll even fetch when the feeling strikes. Squeaky toys are the best, and she can de-squeak and unstuff them in no time flat. She likes being the only dog in her current home, although she has met male dogs in the past that she enjoyed playing with, so that’s a possibility. This special gal will steal your heart! She is available to adopt.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.

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.

Goliath-

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

Goliath does it best, so we will let him tell you all about his amazingness!

I am Soooper awesums.

Anywho..thingZ about me include da following…
*I snore loud
*I have a head the size of a gallon of milks
*I like to put myself in the dirt and not on my bed when I am outside. This means I get lots of wiped down baths when I come in the house. I am a pretty clean dog.
*I am a couch potato, a bed potato, and a chair potato.
*I love love love love to ride in the car.
*I gets excited when my foster mom comes home from work and want to play with the ball, but I don’t want to play with it with her. I just want to play with it by myself.
*I have gotten along with cats, and I i think maybe they liked me a little.
*I am the (not so) great lizard hunter when I see them in my yard. My foster mom still thinks it’s funny I go after little, tiny lizards and have no interest in bunnies or birds other than to sit and watch them.
*I have some issues with my knees so I am not a hiking or running dog. These issues also mean I am on medication that my foster mom gives me when i’m not feeling well. But I am still a fantastic dog

So come see my fantastic self and my other friends this weekend. I think my foster mom will post a few things about some of those dogs so look for that.
