Stormi-

• Spayed Female
• 43 pounds
• 3 years old
• ID#: 808376

Stormi arrived at the shelter when her previous owner could no longer keep her. She adored her previous kennelmate at PACC, who left this week to foster. She is a nervous smaller gal who could really use a calm and confident doggy pal to help her navigate the big scary world out there. This past week she enjoyed a day out of the shelter with her shelter kennelmate and she really loved spending time with the people and her furry pal. Away from the noise and stress of PACC, she is a completely different dog. There are rumors that she enjoys swimming and skateboarding, and as we learn more about her, we will update her info. 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. 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’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 & Sunday (3/12, 3/13 & 3/15), 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!

Annabelle-

• Spayed Female
• 46 pounds
• 9 years old
• ID#: 594762

Annabelle is looking for a stable and loving home to spend her golden years. Her life prior to being at PACC hasn’t provided that, and she deserves to have someone who is going to ensure she is safe and cared for. She is such a great easy walker that back at PACC, they often have her help brand new volunteer dog walkers get started. In play group at PACC, she has done well with other dogs, but she isn’t a big fan of sharing kennel space, so she’d like to meet any potential new doggy friends before she heads out the door. She is playful and does enjoy toys and tennis balls. She can be quite chatty with you when she has something to say. She looks like a big girl, but she’s more of a medium sized gal who weighs less than 50 pounds. 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 recently.

What we know about him:

He is a lovely guy who adores people. He’d like to meet any potential doggy friends before he heads home and would prefer they be mellow and laid back. In a previous home, he lived with his brother, so he could definitely be in a multi-dog home. He enjoys toys, especially the honking pig type (there’s a video on our page). We’ve been told he might chase cats at first, but he settles down quickly and reportedly never harmed any. He enjoys his walks, especially when he gets to smell all the smells while he’s out and about. He has previously been able to clear a 5 foot fence, so a secure backyard and supervised time outside is a must. He recommends not leaving trash out for him to peruse, he enjoys emptying them. He will sometimes fetch if it’s a toy he likes, and he might even play a little friendly tug of war. He is available to adopt or foster.

Monty-

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

Monty’s pal went home, now it’s her turn to find her new home!

Monty originally landed at PACC as a stray. She is currently in a foster home and is a delightfully confident and playful girl. She gets along with other dogs, and enjoys her time in our play yard. She’d love to meet any new friendly dogs before she heads home. She is a happy 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.

Ellie-

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

llie is a stunning girl, likely a pure-bred Dutch Shepard, who arrived at PACC as a stray. While note much is known about what her life was like prior to coming to the shelter, we can tell you she is a big love and wants to have you all to herself. She has such a big personality, you won’t need any other dogs! She loves people and enjoys giving affection as much as she likes to receive it. She walks nicely on leash, ambles along smelling all the smells. She sits nicely, gives her paw for treats (which she takes ever-so-gently), knows down, look, and leave it. She loves calm, respectful kids, as young as 4. She would love to leave shelter life behind for good! She is available to adopt or foster.

Foster Dogs

Pup-

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

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 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.

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.
