Looking for the perfect pup?

This very sweet and gentle Chihuahua is Sunny. She was a Pinal County Shelter rescue and came with a fractured pelvis, probably from being hit by a car, which is now fully healed without any intervention. Sunny is about 11 pounds, one year old, house trained and waiting to meet you!

To meet these pups or if you are looking for a specific breed, contact Leslie at rescuemelady@gmail.com and please, if you love your pet—plan for their future without you. Thousands of pets across the country will die today because their owners didn’t take the time to plan for their life.

Pet partners

Diane Korn and her dog Latke

Susan Richards The idea that pet animals could raise human spirits has been around since the ancient Greeks. But the idea was never formalized; it just seemed to lots of casual observers that people in need perked up when a social dog or cat arrived on the scene. However, this all changed in 1977 when…
