Charlie, Yorkshire terrier and chihuahua mix

Charlie is a male Yorkshire terrier and chihuahua mix staying at Arizona Desert Rotti & Pals Rescue.

Charlie is looking for household without other dogs, cats or children.

He has all of his shots, and he's been neutered. He is still working on being house-trained.

What my friends at Arizona Desert Rotti & Pals Rescue think of me:

Charlie is about 8 years old. He's extremely sweet, but he has a stubborn streak. He is indifferent to other dogs and wants to be a lap dog who belongs only to his person. He would likely do best with a retired couple and no small children. Charlie is a chow hound; he will overeat if you let him. He can be a little fearful and sometimes piddles if you startle him. He loves to go for car rides and walks well on a leash.

Mia, miniature pinscher

Mia is a female miniature pinscher dog being cared for at Cold Wet Noses Fosters.

Mia plays well with others; she'll get along great with your kids, cats and dogs. She has all of her shots, and she's been spayed. She is making progress on being house-trained.

Mia's friends say:

Mia is around 12 years old. She's a playful, active girl that enjoys sunbathing and anything that squeaks. She likes to snuggle under the covers with you at night. She enjoys walks and does well on a leash. Mia would make an excellent dog for someone that likes companionship, lovely walks and and has mature children in the household.

Kappy, greyhound

Kappy is the sweetest! He's a male greyhound dog currently housed at Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption.

Kappy loves other dogs. His ideal forever home would be both a cat- and kid-free environment. He's vaccinated, and he's been neutered. Fear not: he's already house-trained.

From Kappy's caretaker:

Kappy turned 3 years old in February and, with four recorded races, decided racing wasn't for him. He is not cat tolerant and would probably be too much for small dogs or small children because, at 89 pounds, he is quite large. He is very bouncy, outgoing, happy, playful and lovable. He loves people, is easy to handle on a leash, travels well in the car and is full of personality. Kappy has been trained to walk on your left side.
