currently on Pinal Counties owner surrender list and would like to find placement for him so he can avoid spending time in the shelter!

Sweet 12 year old Charlotte with her foster mom and family after her grooming today. She's a whole new girl after her spa day.

Thank you so many times over for fostering Charlotte and all your hard work on cleaning her up yesterday.

It was so good to see her romp around the yard like a puppy again.

UPDATE: Charlotte has found a home.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful help. I will be posting more that are in need of a home. The rescue is still full ☹️

Emergency post

Charlotte was adopted from us back in 2014. She will turn 12 this year.

Charlotte's mom and dad passed away and though the family really wants to keep her they can't at this time in life.

Charlotte has a week to possibly two weeks to find a home. She has until they get the house packed up.

Charlotte is very sweet, loves all people of all ages. She was an only dog for all these years so other dogs are unknown.

Daughter says Charlotte is mobile, housetrained, likes loves, sleep, eating and snacks.

The rescue will pay for all her vet care.

This guy is at county. They are calling him Clifford. His adoption fee is $50.

UPDATE: She has found a home.

Sedona AZ: Sweet purebred St Bernard Senna is looking for a loving furever family 💕

She would do great in a home where she is the only dog and there is lots of love to give! She is such a sweetheart and loves people! Senna is not high energy, so going to a home with someone who is interested in having a loving companion, can take her on short walks and feeling the desire for their home to grow in a beautiful way!

She is two years old and a pint for a Saint at just 75 pounds! Senna has been through Topline Canine’s 3 week board and train program and is looking for a new home ASAP! Her previous home had other dogs and they found she did best in a single dog household!

If Senna is the dog for you and these big beautiful eyes are asking you to take them home! Please call Topline at 928-295-6615.

UPDATE: she has found a new home

This sweet young senior needs a home.

Nelle is a 6 3/4 year old Saint Bernard. She is the sweetest girl and wants to be near you, moving from room to room with you. She is content with an occasional pet but would love on-going loves and kisses. She is house trained and uses a dog door.

When Nelle was rescued from the Pima County Animal Care Center she appeared to have recently had puppies and at 6 years of age, had not been spayed. After her spay she quickly made herself comfortable in her new home, which included 2 other large dogs and several small, older dogs. She has been great with children. Unfortunately, after 9 months in her home it has become apparent that Nelle is not safe with small dogs. She would, however, be wonderful as an only dog or in a home with only dogs her size or larger. She is a love!

If you think you could provide a forever home for Nelle, I would love to have you meet her. She is about 110 lbs, with vaccinations up to date. Please feel free to contact me at 520-820-2221 or via email at [email protected]. Nelle and I are located in Tucson.

UPDATE: a foster to adopt home has been found. I will keep everyone updated on how it is going after he is picked up and in the foster home.
Thank you everyone for your help. I will be posting the second guy needing a foster home.

I need two fosters but I especially need one foster by tomorrow for a 10 month old not neutered male.

He likes people, children, other dogs and cats.
Domestic violence situation.

The second foster is for a three year old not neutered male. Likes other dogs and people.

Concentrating on first guy first

UPDATE: owners just picked them up from us

These two have been hanging out behind a McDonalds for a couple weeks. I understand they are friendly but I don't know how they are with other dogs.
I desperately need a foster for them so I can get them off the street.

Yesterday Willow had her spay, gastropexy and entropion surgery.

Still working on her manners and she is making much improvement.

Meeting people nicely is an ongoing work in progress. Within a minute of a meeting she is fine. Did great at the vets. She has not liked one of the men vets and seems to feel more comfortable with women.

Willow is estimated to be only 12 months old. She is already a big girl with more growth to go.

Willow was found getting ready to get on a freeway.

She is a big love bug who thinks she is still a little puppy. She runs to greet you and a lot of the time it's with too much excitement and down you go. She just needs more socializing which I'm guessing she didn't get in her past.

Benji says more treats mom. I know there's some crumbs down here.

I can't get better pictures because he doesn't want to be any farther away from the treats.

He isn't used to my husband yet but he will get there soon. Benji hasn't figured out yet that Keith is the head treat guy in this outfit. He sneaks out far more treats than Mom does.

Benji will arrive at our rescue Saturday around noon.

NOT ADOPTED.... people who adopted him never picked him up after his neuter. He could have been safe with our Texas division but now he's in a worse spot. PACC is 100 dogs over their limit.

Adopted...we had one of our Texas rescue volunteers in AZ who was heading back to Texas and she was going to pull him and take back to Texas. He was adopted just before she arrived.

This guy is in Tucson at PACC and doesn't have much time left.
Benji is four years old, owner surrender by owners ex.
Was kept outside so not housetrained. Would need a dog intro if you have other dogs.
He is stranger shy in the home so you would need to intro him to new people in the home.

This very sweet girl needs a home. The finder said she came up to the car and hugged her. She hopped right in and hung out with her three little dogs. She was a perfect little lady in her home while looking for the owner.

Contact information is in the picture.

Update: now with the rescue

FOSTER FOUND

He still needs a foster

COURTESY POST

Hello,
I am looking for a family to temporarily foster my Saint Bernard through the program dogs on Dogs on Deployment. He is from a military household stationed overseas for the next two years and he cannot come with.
He is very friendly, calm and easy going. He is house trained. He gets along with small dogs and female dogs.
He should get along with male dogs as long as they are not alpha type. He is a couch potato and will do best with a family who will be home throughout the day to give him attention. He loves kids. He is a double coated dog so he will need to be inside most of the time. He does know how to jump fences so he would need a tall fenced yard or to be monitored when he is outside for long periods of time. He was raised in an apartment for three years so he would do fine in a small setting as well. If you would be interested please let me know and apply to be a boarder at https:// www.dogsondeployment.org/signup
Thank you!

ADOPTED ❤️

SEDONA, AZ - URGENT - MUST HAVE HOME BY 2/1/24
DO NOT COMMENT BELOW. TEXT/CALL ME DAWN 610-787-2353 OR EMAIL THE OWNER, DEWEY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. WE WILL NOT SEE YOUR COMMENTS AND HATE TO MISS YOU.
Jojo needs a furever home by 2/1!!! (Please share)! 🐾🙏🏽✨🆘
Jojo is a sweet, loving, healthy, house-trained, vetted/neutered, 2 year old, 135lb boy who was dumped and abandoned a month ago by his old owner in the Village of Oak Creek, AZ.
Jojo is BIG (but thinks he is small) & loves to love, snuggle & play (especially with sticks, balls or toys). Jojo is currently at board & training camp through Topline K9 in Sedona AZ, where he is learning to be his best trained boy for his new home.
*Jojo needs a forever home by the end of camp on 2/1.*
What Jojo needs in his forever home, first and foremost:
-Love, Consistency and Confidence.
He is a sensitive baby who bonds hard to the people he comes to trust & love. He doesn’t like yelling or tension, and thrives on structure and love. He requires a confident, patient handler that can consistently remind him he is safe so he can just be his goofy self.
-Space. Jojo is big & would do best in a home with a yard & some space.
-Lifelong Vetting/Food/Care.
Jojo is big so he has a big appetite & if cared for properly, (although healthy), could have the capacity for sizable vet bills. He will need his owner to provide for his needs & health now & for his whole life—hopefully at least 8-10 years.(*Please know this means that an adopter must commit to ably helping this dog in his senior years 8+ years from now).
Furry & Smaller Friends: Right now Jojo is working hard at training camp & we will know more next week, but have hope that with a strong handler, a calm home & gradual introductions, he will be able to join a home with a furry friend & maybe respectful kids.
Thank you for caring about Jojo. If you’re interested in adopting Jojo, & meet the above criteria, please send inquiries & more about your home to: Dewey Reen at [email protected]

Are you missing your Saint? If not and would like this sweetheart watch for her stray hold to be up and get her at county.

County lists her as a smooth coat but she is actually a rough coat. I spoke to the finder and they said she is very sweet. She was kept in a friends apartment after finding her. She is young and probably under a year old.

Get your adoption application in at saintrescue.org for beautiful three year old Gertie.

Gertie is a sweet love bug who prefers loving to getting treats. She's good on a leash, housetrained, loves stuffies and fluffy beds but prefers your lap to lay on.

She loves people and loves playing around with you outside. She hasn't been around many children and was a bit fearful of the loud noises and sudden movements the eight year old made so older children would be best.

She would do best as the only dog in the home because she wants all the loves for herself. She can be out around other dogs.

Looking for a foster home asap for this sweet young girl. She was found Sunday, no chip or collar, no signs up for her and not reported lost. We feel she was dumped.

Finder took her to the vets. She is on medication for a bacterial skin infection and an infection in her paws due to her dew claws having grown into her paws. She is under weight too. She has bandages on the dew claws and wearing an e-collar now and she is in heat.

The finder did all the vet care for her. She wanted to keep her but unfortunately that's not possible. Sunday she was great with her two dogs but after the vet visit on Monday with all the stress of the treatments, cone and bandages she attacked the finders two dogs after coming home.

Here is what she says about her:

Let me list all of her attributes:
House broken
Snuggles
Sits
Offers her paw to shake for a treat
Great in car, sits calmly
Very Very snuggly and loving.
She hugs my leg
Doesn't bark like my doodles

If you have no other dogs or cats and are interested in fostering her please let me know. Time is important. She is being kept separate from the other dogs hoping we can find a foster home for her.

Beautiful Angie goes to her new home in a couple weeks. Angie is about 50 percent blind in one eye due to untreated dry eyes and entropion. She had her surgery for the entropion and will take medication all her life for her dry eyes.

What's the rescue up to recently? We don't just take in highly adoptable Saints and Newfies, we take in seniors, the abused and medical cases.

Beethoven came in as an abuse and medical case. He weighed 74 pounds, his bones stuck out everywhere, your fingers would slide in between his ribs if you touched him, he was covered in foxtails that were even embedded in his skin, he was passing large heavy rubber gloves and what looked like part of a rubber dinghy. He has few teeth and a large testicular growth that is being monitored along with esophagus issues. He could only stand for a few minutes at a time before collapsing.

Beethoven is 13 years old!
We know this from his chip.

Today Beethoven has gained 40 pounds, lost all his old course coat and where he had to be shaved in order to use tweezers to pull out the foxtails the coat has grown back in. He's starting to get fluffy again.

He loves his food and treats, getting brushed, people and playing with the other female rescues.

He is at his target weight and must not get any heavier because of his arthritis and weak rear. Because of this he doesn't understand why he isn't getting all the extra meals but he has adjusted to it as well as can be expected considering what his previous life was like.

Beethoven gets lots of loves, attention and high value treats which he should have always had. We don't know how much time he has left but he will be taken well care of with lots of love.

First picture is at the vets and you can see where he was starting to get shaved but because he was so weak it took four days to get it done . Even with him laying down it would wear him out. You can't tell how bad he was because of his coat but look at the now pictures and imagine minus 40 pounds. The only place we could pet him without rubbing skin on bone was his neck. The second picture kind of shows you how sunk in it is around his eyes

Second picture is when they found him. He had somehow broken out of the backyard and a good Samaritan and officer lifted him into their car and took him to animal control. We were asked if we could take him or because of his bad shape he would be euthanized.
We immediately said yes and a wonderful volunteer brought him to us.

Third and fourth are of him now. He isn't a picture taking kind of guy so it's the best we can get.

I'm behind on posting the pictures of our rescue's in their new homes but working on catching up.
