Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Tucson.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Buster, terrier mix

Buster is a lovable male terrier mix in the care of the Cold Wet Noses Fosters.

Buster is the life of the party, and he loves other dogs. He's neutered and vaccinated. He is already house-trained.

Here's more about Buster:

He is smart and loves to explore outside. Buster likes to get his share of attention and cuddles are welcome once he knows you. He's also learned to play fetch and tug-o-war with toys and is working on consistency with 'drop it'. He'd fit well where he can get plenty of exercise.

Eiffel, Maltese mix

Eiffel is a sweet female Maltese mix currently residing at Miss Maggie May's Rescue.

She has had all of her shots, and she's spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

From Eiffel's current caretaker:

She loves to go on walks, enjoys attention and belly rubs. Eiffel and Brandi have been living together for almost three years, although they are not siblings. Brandi keeps an eye on Eiffel and seems to be the leader of the two. They do almost everything together, but when Brandi wants to go off exploring or her own direction, she is always checking on Eiffel. These two gals must be adopted together.

Hercules, Siberian husky

Hercules is a darling male Siberian husky dog currently housed at the RAD Rescue Inc.

Notes from Hercules' caretakers:

He is goofy, energetic, mischievous and too smart for his own good. Hercules would do best to go with one of his pack mates, but could also adapt to a home with another dog who matched his energy and play style as long as the adopter gave an appropriate adjustment period.
