Angus-

• Neutered Male
• 39 pounds
• 10 years old
• ID#: 564113

Angus originally arrived at PACC 10 years ago as a very young puppy. Sadly, he has found himself back at the shelter after all these years. He’s understandably confused and he’d really love to find a nice quiet place to call home so he can say good bye to PACC for good this time. He came to the shelter after he and a couple of dog friends were abandoned at a vacant property. While he is currently co-housed with a much younger female about his size, his history in play group at the shelter has been that is not a fan of overly forward dogs and sometimes overcorrects when he lets them know how he feels. A calm dog pal might be nice for him, or simply being your one and only could also work just fine. He is a skinny medium-sized guy who could stand to gain a few pounds, and he really loves treats. While he doesn’t currently show much interest in toys, he does have a fun personality and is a very friendly guy–if a bit on the nervous side with new situations. He really likes people! 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!

Cooper-

• Neutered Male
• 70 pounds
• 6 years old
• ID#: 895718

Cooper is happily decompressing in a foster home after almost 6 months of shelter life. This sweet guy clearly has had some rough days in his past. He has significant anxiety and is currently on meds to help him with that; he is doing well with them and will need to continue them going forward. He has separation anxiety and needs a home where he won’t be spending long stretches of his days alone. He loves people, and he has done well meeting most dogs–he seems to appreciate females who are a bit smaller than him and no high energy dogs, please, they make him nervous. We have no info on cats or small dogs at this time. He enjoys toys, despite most of his teeth being worn down. Due to his teeth, he does prefer softer food/treats. He likely has some mastiff in him, which helps to explain his stubbornness when it comes to walks (his foster says that with love–he likes what he likes!), so a strong handler and one experienced with larger breeds would be best. His foster is looking for the ideal adopter, and is in no hurry to get him out the door; finding the right person/couple is the most important thing. He is available to adopt.

Madonna-

• Spayed Female
• 32 pounds
• 12 years old
• ID#: 896944

Madonna is now back at PACC and would LOVE to find a new foster or forever home!

Info from her loving foster:

• Gentle sweet potato

• House Broken/Potty trained – does not use crate

• Big couch potato but also likes to hike/camp

• Always wagging

• Loves every human no exceptions

• NO limit to how long she will snuggle

• Does not jump, very well behaved

• Good listener, good recall when off leash

• Good with the respectful kids she has met

• Cats unknown

She has met a few dogs recently and seems to prefer to remain an only dog in the home. She’s got a lot of love to give, and she’d like to share it with her new human(s)!

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!

Firefly-

• Spayed Female
• 37 pounds
• 2 1/2 years old
• ID#: 901581

Firefly arrived to PACC pregnant and scared. She came from an environment where the dogs were kept outside without adequate food, water and shelter. She was understandably fearful of people, and after months at the shelter, she is learning that humans can be loving and caring. She now seems to enjoy spending time with people who give her the space to feel safe and open up as she is comfortable. She will need a patient adoptive or foster home. She has done well with kennelmates during her time at the shelter, and was in a foster home that had a smaller dog and a bird and she was fine with both. Having a confident dog pal to learn from would be ideal for this young girl. There is no info on how she is with children or cats, and she did hide under a bed and growl/bark when she was stressed in her foster home. She will need a quiet and safe place to decompress, and while in foster, she liked the safe spot of being in a crate. They were working on housetraining, so using a crate to help with that is an ideal way to help speed that process along in her new home. As we learn more about her, we will update her info. She is available to adopt or foster.

Sasha-

• Un-Spayed Female (surgery pending)
• 74 pounds
• 6 years old
• ID#: 905194

Sasha arrived as a stray, so we don’t know much about her life before she came to PACC. In play group at the shelter, she prefers low energy dogs and was said to be easy-going with them. She was not a fan of very forward or overly friendly/playful dogs, mostly keeping to herself and was people oriented. She might do best as an only dog, but we are always happy to do a meet and greet with a potential pal. She is easy to handle and walks well on leash, but she can put her weight behind it if she wants to pull you in a specific direction. She needs a strong handler. She doesn’t seem too impressed with toys currently, but that can change over time. She definitely enjoys sitting next to her favorite person and getting some cuddle time in, and belly rubs are a MUST. She is available to adopt or foster.

Lester-

• Neutered Male
• 82 pounds
• 8 years old
• ID#: 905010

Lester came into PACC as a stray. He is a BIG guy and was described by shelter staff as being a gentle giant. He enjoys cooling off in the pools in the play yards at PACC on these hot summer days. He is a pretty nervous guy, but he enjoys being with his person/people a whole lot. Walks make him nervous, because it is a big scary world out there, and being in a kennel is scary, too. But when you take the time to sit with him and give him some attention, he just melts into you. He will play with a tennis ball once in a while, and is starting to discover toys. He is available to adopt or foster.

Foster Dogs

Astrid-

• Spayed Female
• 59 pounds
• 10 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.

She is typically with us on Sundays each week. 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!

Shelby-

• Spayed Female
• 52 pounds
• 11 years old
• ID#: 871662

Shelby arrived at the shelter as part of a hoarding case and has been in a foster home for some time. She is looking to find her forever home and her foster would like to share this info they have learned about her:
She lives with a cat and they do just fine together, she is house-trained, no known experience with other dogs since going to foster last summer, sits for treats, loves cooked veggies with her dinner, she is shy and sleeps in her bed when left home alone, she enjoys a peaceful, quiet home and isn’t a fan of loud noises. She enjoys lounging poolside, but isn’t interested in swimming. She’d like to meet any potential doggy pals, and she really wants to find a forever home where she will be loved and cared for. She is available to adopt.

Georgia-

• Un-Spayed Female (surgery pending)
• 50 pounds
• 8 years old
• ID#: 909000

Georgia is now in a loving foster home and looking for her forever person or family!

Georgia came to the shelter after people witnessed her being mistreated. She has some arthritis that affects her legs and she is responding well to the medications that PACC’s clinic has her on. While she won’t be running in any marathons, she would certainly enjoy spending her days in a safe and loving home where she will be shown the care she deserves. Her play group evaluation at the shelter showed she mostly kept to herself and was overall very chill. As we learn more about her, we will update her info. She is available to adopt.

Padjo-

• Neutered Male
• 52 pounds
• 9 years old
• ID#: 802185

Padjo arrived at PACC recently after his owner passed. He’s a nervous guy, and we’ve learned that his life before arriving at the shelter might not have been the best. At PACC, he generally kept to himself during his play group evaluation. He walks nicely on leash, but he prefers to just be by someone more than anything. He isn’t interested in toys, but he does love to be loved on; he soaks it right up. At the shelter, he is currently housed with a younger female dog, and he has met other dogs while at TRN and done fine with them. He is available to adopt or foster.

Goliath-

Helloooo peoples out there scrolling on their phone. It is i, Goliath, saying come sees me and my friendz at Tucson Rescue Now today, Sunday (12 July), from 11 to 3.

If you’ve never met me, you have been missing out, because i am an AWESOMES guy. I love the following…
Car rides
My ball
Snuggles with people who come see me at TRN
Laying in the dirt (and not my dog bed)
Tearing apart toys
Walks
Car rides (yep, I already said this)
Being in the sun (but in the dirt and not my bed)
Being outside when it is freakishly hot (but my foster mom makes me get in the shade)
Chasing lizards (I am bad at it)
My ball
My ball
My ball (like it lots so listed it lots)
I have some bad knees and recently got a new brace. That means I wear two, one for each back leg. I am getting used to the second one and don’t always wear them at the same time. But I do very well with them and have not chewed them up. “It’s Goliath,” my foster mom says. ” He wouldn’t do that.” That’s because I am good boy.

Bad knees mean i am not a hiking or running dog. I like walks, and because it’s hot, we keep them short and to the morning while I get used to wearing both braces .
If you are looking for Mr Mellow, I am your fellow. I’ll binge watch shows with you or hang out doing nothing. I enjoy being outside, so you’ll need a yard for me because i like to explore while i am out.

So come visit me and my friends today.
Big G

Benedict-

• Un-Neutered Male (surgery pending)
• 59 pounds
• 13 years old
• ID#: 902402

Benedict came to the shelter as a stray. He spent some time in a foster home and they had great things to say about him: Foster worked 10 hour shifts and no potty accidents at all, got along with the resident dog–no issues, resident cat: not aggressive, but “constantly curious” which might be a lot for some cats, he’s good on leash and easy to walk, extremely affectionate and lays at foster’s feet, lots of energy and enjoyed running around the yard and chewing on bones. He loved to greet his foster when they came home, tail wagging. They said he just loves to be with his person/people and both give and receive lots of love. The shelter is no place for a sweet old man like Benedict, he wants to find his very own home! He is available to adopt or foster.

Moose-

• Spayed Female
• 27 pounds
• 14 years old
• ID#: 400650

Moose came to the shelter as a stray. She is quite underweight and would like to find a calm and quiet place to rest her sweet little old lady head. She loves to be brushed and even has a bit of pep to her step when she’s going for a leisurely walk. She has a mellow kennelmate at the shelter and could either be a nice addition to a calm pack, or she’d also enjoy being your one and only. She’s a gentle older senior who should be enjoying her golden years in a loving home and not in a loud scary shelter. She is available to adopt or foster.

Lenora-

• Un-Spayed Female (surgery pending)
• 59 pounds
• 8 years old
• ID#: 907138

Lenora arrived at the shelter when her previous owner could no longer care for her and a few other dogs. In her playgroup evaluation, she generally kept to herself and was said to be very people oriented. She has shared kennel space with other dogs while at PACC and has met several dogs during her days at TRN and has done well with them all. She is a mellow, easy-going girl who is a bit nervous until she feels safe, and then she opens up and is incredibly loving and appreciative of affection. She is gentle on leash, even though being out in the big scary world isn’t her favorite thing. She’d be just as happy to stay near you and hang out. She is available to adopt or foster.
