Tillie, poodle mix

Tillie is a female poodle mix in the care of Cold Wet Noses Fosters.

Tillie is a social butterfly, and she gets along well with other dogs and cats. She's already spayed, and she has had all her shots. Have no fear: She is already house-trained.

More from Tillie:

I do have some health concerns that my future family need to tend to — I am going blind and my foster mom believes a bit deaf too. Due to this, I get startled very easily and I redirect if approached from behind (blind spots)... Despite my little quirks I am in search of the perfect home which would entail no kids under 14 and would prefer to be an only dog or live with calm adult dogs.

Tripp, cattle dog and shepherd mix

Tripp is a male cattle dog and shepherd mix being cared for at Animals' Crusaders.

Tripp plays well with others, and he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He's mastered his house-training etiquette. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he's neutered. Tripp is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.

Notes from Tripp's caretakers:

[Tripp] has been in a couple of car accidents and his front leg was amputated. He also has an old fractured rear leg that he needs to be cautious with. Because of the way his rear leg has healed and the amputated front leg he has a hop-skip walk. He needs a calm home with no stairs and carpeting or lots of rugs so he will not slip. He is very good riding in the car.

Clara, pit bull terrier mix

Shiloh, chihuahua and whippet mix

Shiloh is a male chihuahua and whippet mix currently residing at Southern Arizona Beagle Rescue.

Shiloh's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Have no fear: He's already house-trained. Shiloh is neutered, and he has had all his shots.

Here's what Shiloh's friends at Southern Arizona Beagle Rescue think of him:

[Shiloh] loves car rides and walks well on a leash. [He] is good with kids but not small ones [who] would make fast loud moves. He still gets frightened with sudden noise and movement. He sometimes wants to lay on your lap when he is ready to settle down at night.

Naysa, chihuahua mix

Naysa is a female chihuahua mix being kept at Cold Wet Noses Fosters.

Naysa will do best in a home without small children. Fear not: She's already house-trained. She's already vaccinated and spayed.

Notes from Naysa's caretakers:

Naysa has come a long way in the last year; she was a sick, fearful dog and is now a much healthier and confident girl... Naysa can be trusted in the home since she does not bother household items... She would do well in a home that is experienced with chihuahuas and will make the right person a loving companion.
