Did Lestat’s smolder charm you? 🐶😉✨ He’s not only good at charming humans; he’s also quite the charmer when it comes to other pups! When we have playgroups, Lestat loves being around other dogs and gets along great with them. If you want to see Lestat’s smolder in person, be sure to come pay him a visit at our East shelter located at 1920 S Lewis, Mesa! 🤍🐾

✨ Foster Feature ✨

How do you prefer Jenny? Extra cuddly, strapped in for an adventure, or tucked in like a turkey on Thanksgiving Day? 🤔 Personally, we prefer her adopted! After coming in weighing only 24 pounds, she's doubled in weight and is happily waiting for her furever best friend in her foster home.

"Jenny is a great dog to come home to as she greets you with butt wiggles, kisses, and tiny happy nibbles. She is always up for a car ride to do errands, sunbathing on the patio (turn her over for an even bake), playing with her toys, or just lying next to you as you catch up on favorite TV shows (don’t forget to give her belly rubs). Jenny is ready for you to be her loyal cuddle buddy for life."

Jenny is a true lovebug waiting for her chance to shine. Go get her! Email [email protected] to set up a meet-and-greet: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/adoptPets/Home/Details/A5161806

Name a better duo than Bailey and Bo! 🐕🐕 They were born from the same mother in their old home almost two years ago. Now, they're ready to begin a new chapter in their lives.

Bo and Bailey were (mostly) potty trained and are working on learning basic commands. They do not need to be adopted together, but they definitely wouldn't mind staying as roommates. 💙 Meet them at the East shelter: 1920 S Lewis, Mesa.
