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.

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!

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. 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!

Timber-

• Neutered Male
• 38 pounds
• 1 year, 3 months old
• ID#: 882693

Timber arrived at PACC after being struck by a car, where he sustained significant injury to his leg. Unfortunately, it could not be saved, but he’s a young guy and he is doing quite well as a tripod. He has clearly already been through a lot in his young life, and he is understandably nervous in new situations. He will need a secure yard (likely how he got loose and hit by the car back in October last year), and a special diet. His previous foster said once he felt safe, he was quite cuddly and affectionate. He walks nicely on leash and enjoys going outside with his person. Ideally, he needs a foster or adopter who is calm and experienced in handling dogs who are quite fearful. Whatever his life was before the shelter, he clearly didn’t feel safe and that shows in his needing someone to be patient with him as he adjusts to his new space. Shelter life is getting to him and he’s really hoping to find a loving home to lay his head. 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!

Monty-

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

Monty has been at TRN before, and we all loved her. Her foster had to travel, so she went back to the shelter and ended up with another foster for a bit. She is back with her previous foster, and she is visiting TRN again, so if you missed out the first time around, now is your chance to come meet this gorgeous girl! She gets along with other dogs, so meeting a new friend before she heads home would be great. She has made a lot of progress in becoming more confident and is really craving stability in her forever home. 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.

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- Will NOT be here on Saturday

• 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!

Chispa-

• Neutered Male
• 56 pounds
• 3 years old
• ID#: 877537

Chispa’s life was saved when a good samaritan saw him struggling this past summer and contacted PACC. An APS officer brought him to the shelter’s clinic and they saved him from the heatstroke that almost took him. He required some surgery and he has healed up well, now he just needs a small mass removed at the shelter’s clinic (looks like a beauty mark under his eye in his picture). He’d love to find a calm, quiet home to hang out in while he waits for that surgery. He loves to be with people, and did fine in play group at PACC. He does seem to prefer to not hang out with unaltered male dogs, so meeting any potential doggy pals would be the ideal before he heads home. Once he feels safe with you, he is such a snuggler, and he enjoys playing with a variety of toys, too. He is available to adopt or foster.
