Pet of the Week
Charm is 3 years old and quite the stud! It won't take him long to win over your heart. He loves to play and has even started to practice his skills on the agility equipment at our new East shelter. He's been going on lots of adventures with Tails Around Town and has met new friends everywhere he goes. Everyone he meets falls head over heels for his "charm," but he's still waiting to meet his forever family. Charm's adoption fee is waived through June 16th for the BISSELL Pet Foundation's "Empty the Shelters" adoption event! Come meet him at our East shelter located at 1920 S. Lewis in Mesa.
Happy Tails
"I adopted Honey a few years ago. She was a stray found with no collar or microchip. Clearly part Doberman, her two-color eyes suggested a Husky ancestor as well (both confirmed by DNA). When I went to see her it was clear she was terrified and scared. I adopted her & when we got home, found out she was obedience trained and housebroken! She is so smart and energetic and loves camping in my Motorhome. And EVERYONE comments on her ears!!" – Kathy
