What’s spookier than a haunted house? 🏚️

• Living in a shelter.
• Puppy Mills.
• People who abandon their pets.
• Backyard Breeders.
• Pets that aren’t spayed/neutered and microchipped.
• People who don’t research the breed before getting a dog.

What could get spookier than that? 👀

BREED: Collie, Border / Mixed Breed (Medium)

INTAKE DATE: 10/21/2026

How Tucker Became a Dog:

A kind human saved him from being hit by a car near 67th Ave and Buckeye Rd.

A Little About Me:

I am a sweet boy! I take a little more time to get comfortable with male humans, but if he gives me treats I come around in no time. I have not met any other pups, cats, or little humans, but the Humans think I would at least do well with other friendly dogs my size (and maybe smaller). I am still learning how to walk on a leash and be calm in a kennel, but I am potty trained. I would love to have a family to call my own forever!

**My breed is a guess by the Humans

How Mira Became a Dog:

She was seen dumped in a central Phoenix neighborhood. A kind family took her in until they could find a rescue to take her.

A Little About Me:

I am a kind-hearted girl, still trying to figure out my place in the world. I am pretty timid starting out, and need help building my confidence. Once I know I am safe with someone, I love snuggling in their lap. The Humans think I would do best in a home with no little kids, but other dogs my size, or bigger calm dogs, would be okay with me. I have so much love to give, I just want someone who will help me feel safe!
