Cricket is a 8 year old shepherd mix with a corgi face. He's ADORABLE and has bunny-soft fur! He came from Arizona Humane Society where he was due to be euthanized for a heart murmur. He has had a full medical workup and is cleared to be adopted.  He does have a slight heart murmur but it's not enough to even need medication per our Vet. Cricket is now with a loving foster family awaiting his forever family.

Rosie came to Dogtree with her roomie Lexi.  These two ladies (Rosie and Lexi) along with 3 other dogs (5 total) were left in a home when the owner was evicted. These two ladies were sitting at a Yuma shelter for weeks.  A shelter is no place for these two two senior girls.  They were loaded into a transport van from Yuma to Phoenix.  From Phoenix, Cindy drove the Dogtree Pines SUV to bring these two ladies home.  On the way back, these two were treated to their own puppuccino.  To  help ease their anxiety with a new place, we kept them together and they stayed in our garage on their first night.  Initially Rosie did stay close by Lexi's side almost as a protector, but they have since become their own individuals.  Rosie has decided that she is a water dog and loves our pool.  She gets along well with the pack and especially likes her walks. Her one floppy ear makes her unique and a volunteer favorite. Rosie at 74 pounds and being younger moves around nicely.

Meeko came to us when his elderly owner could no longer care for him and was relocating to live with family in Tennessee. Meeko is extremely overweight but otherwise healthy. His mother was a white lab and his father a red heeler. Meeko is about 8 y/o and was with the same owner his entire life. Meeko is cautious and is still adjusting but is doing good with other dogs and craves attention. He has not braved moving into the sanctuary yet, and remains in the "quarantine apartment" i.e., the modified garage. He comes into the yard when I'm out but then retreats back to safety. I believe the large pack is too intimidating for him and would love to find a new forever home that is a bit more relaxing for him.

Please call or email to meet Meeko. He will need to continue to be on a diet and getting regular exercise for his long-term health. He continues to become more comfortable and I love to see his tail wag as I come into his little home to visit.

Moose is STUNNING! Moose was rescued from Riverside County where he was picked up as a stray. Moose had severe ear infections in both ears and allergies causing hair loss on his trunk.  Moose is one special dog.  He cannot get close enough to his person and is a snuggle bug.  As Moose continues to be healthier, it seems that he is aging backwards. Moose is now looking for his forever family.  He walks nicely on a leash.  He loves chewing on his tennis ball and running through the back acreage.  He also loves playing with his "person" and can be seen doing quite awkward zoomies regularly. Moose would make a great family dog as he is sweet, protective and loving.  Moose is about 5 years old and gets along with all of the pups at Dogtree but especially loves to play with Timber as they are two of the younger ones.

River is an old soul. This boy wants nothing more than to sit with you and hold your hand. He knows sit and shake as well as heel. While he can be active and was a great running buddy, matching my pace perfectly and not reacting to any dogs or bikes, he is more than content lounging at home. He is starting to have an affinity to tennis balls, although still figuring out fetch.

He is a strong-willed boy that will jump a fence if left in backyard alone (in hopes of finding his person) but no issue if there’s access inside via doggy door.  This boy has been through a lot emotionally and medically.. all he wants is a consistent person he can love for the years he has left to call his own.

Sammie is a Retriever/German Shepherd/Aussie mix who weighs about 50 pounds that came from Maricopa County Animal Control where she was past her euthanasia deadline. She fit right in immediately. She is so cute with her one floppy ear. She is perfectly healthy, about 7 years old, and is now looking for her own home. She likes the other pups at Dogtree but the large group of dogs is not the best place for her.  She would do best with a more quiet home with the owner completely focused on her as their only dog.  She has very soft fur and tries to get your attention by walking between your legs and looking up at you. She is a great protection dog but also loves to play.

Hero, about 8 years old, came to Dogtree thanks to many, many lovely volunteers.  Hero came to us from Texas from the terrible flash floods in the central part of Texas.  The larger shelters seem to be getting outside help however the smaller shelters are reaching out for help.  They are having trouble existing and even trouble with the simple things like communication calls.  The small shelter in the center of the floods reached out to Dogtree and committed to getting the dogs to us if we could just agree to help them get adopted.  A TEAM of volunteers transported Hero and Ralphie from Texas to Prescott over the course of three days and multiple car rides.  Hero is calm and wants cuddles. Hero is deaf but doesn't let that bother him.  He weighs about 60 pounds and is kind of a picky eater. Hero has really surprised all of us as to how easy he gets around and what a sweet cuddle bug he is with the volunteers and the other pups too.

Ralphie is about 12 years old but does not look that old nor does he act old.  He is calm and does not have good eye sight.  With that comes his snuggling next to you and coming into you in a close sweet way. Ralphie was housed with Hero in the same kennel at the dog shelter that was sadly flooded in central Texas last month.  All that the small shelter can do now is to find places that will accept their dogs.  They do not have the resources to care for the dogs and even struggle with cell phone communications. Guess the cell towers were also impacted by the floods.

For some good results from an unfortunate circumstances, Hero and Ralphie were kennel mates and transported together and lucky for us we were able to get a Foster Volunteer that has agreed to watch over them BOTH until they can find their forever families.

Ralphie has a very soft coat, loves treats and ended up in the shelter because his owner passed away.  Please consider adding Ralphie to your family.
