Angel

Angel
Sheltie female, tricolor, 8 yrs. She was left at Animal Care & Control by her previous owner. She's had a dental cleaning and is settling into her foster home. Photo by David Jensen Photography.   

Buster
Rottweiler / Husky mix male, senior. This wonderfully gentle boy is in his elder years, but for someone who appreciates the love of an "experienced" dog, he would be a wonderful companion. He has had a dental cleaning and will need some support for arthritis.

Terrier mix male and Pekingese female. This adorable pair were
abandoned at Animal Care and Control along with another companion (who has been adopted). Their faces show their "experience" in being sweet companions and they are truly sweet. How can you resist these faces?

FONZ_9259-web.jpg (39927 bytes) Fonz
Terrier mix male, black and gold. Fonz arrived at Animal Care & Control after being hit by a car. We rescued him and he is recovering from his injuries. The other part of the story is that another dog, a female of similar appearance, also arrived at Animal Care & Control around the same time. (See "Zuzu" below. We think they might be siblings or somehow related.) Both are very energetic and playful dogs!  Photo by David Jensen Photography.  

King
Labrador / Pit Bull mix male, 8 months. King is Buster's companion, who is ready for a life of adventure. He is initially shy of new experiences, so needs some time and attention to expand his social skills. 

Nina
Rottweiler mix female. This tail-wagging girl found herself at Animal Care & Control, but needed some minor medical treatment before finding her permanent home. We are just getting to know more about her! 

Quill & Scout

Quill & Scout - Meet us and read our story!!!
Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever mix females. These two girls have had quite an adventure! Abandoned in the Bear Valley area with a sibling, they caught the eye of local residents who spent weeks working to build their trust to catch them. Dr. Del Seeba and his fantastic team at Diamond Animal Hospital assisted to remove porcupine quills, provide health assessment and interventions, spay and vaccinate, and work with the girls on confidence and trust building. They get along so well that we would like to find them a permanent home together, so that their shared story doesn't have to come to an end.

Rory and Sydney Rory & Sydney
Yorkie mix male, 8 yrs, and Yorkie/Chihuahua mix male, 5 yrs. These adorable cuties landed at Animal Care & Control when their human companion became ill. They are sweet companions and we'd like to see them adopted as a pair. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  

Willie
Terrier mix male, 8 months old. Adorable pup left at Animal Care & Control by his previous owner. He is working on his social skills with other dogs, so we were asked to help him along in that task. He is around 9 lbs and would be best as an only dog due to his take-charge attitude; he could cohabitate well with the right cat, though. He is very outgoing with people, but would be best matched with a dog-savvy owner, willing to take him to obedience and work on his social skills.  

YumYum
Here's why I'm special... Shih Tzu mix, senior. YumYum is the last of three elderly cuties who came to us because of a death in their family. They had lived together for years, and though our dream was to find a home that could love them all, that was not the case. One of the trio has found a home, and one has passed away. YumYum is still seeking an adults-only home for her loving retirement home. 

Currently in trial adoption placement:
Zoey Zoey - I'm trying out a new home - wish me luck!
Mixed breed female. She is gentle, calm, and the most good-natured dog you've ever met. She likes everyone and we've never heard her bark. She does well on a leash, and is fine with other dogs. She would prefer a one-level home; due to some age-related orthopedic issues she would rather not have to navigate stairs regularly.  Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
\ZUZU_9255-web.jpg (38958 bytes) Zuzu - I'm trying out a new home - wish me luck!
Terrier mix female, black and gold. Zuzu was an unclaimed stray at Animal Care & Control. When we were asked to rescue her, we gave her a holiday name! The other part of the story is that another dog, a male of similar appearance, also arrived at Animal Care & Control after being hit by a car. (See "Fonz" above. We think they might be siblings or somehow related.) Both are very energetic and playful dogs!  Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Recently adopted into loving homes:
Andy Andy - I've been adopted! 
Shepherd/Husky mix male. He is well mannered, socialized with other dogs and lots of fun! He would be a great walking or hiking partner to keep you active in the winter months. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Appie Appie - I've been adopted! 
Poodle mix female, petite. She is all wiggles and joy! She was an unclaimed stray at Animal Care & Control and was in a severely neglected state. Because of dental neglect, she had to have multiple teeth extracted but that has not stopped her robust appetite! She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and would be best matched to a household with other pets as it helps her feel secure. She loves to nestle in a blanket and watch TV with you, but is still brave enough to go walking on cold winter days! Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Kopaz

Kopaz - I've been adopted! 
Dachshund male, brown. He came to us via Animal Care & Control because he had a skin condition that needed treatment. He is responding well and would love a second chance for a lifetime home! Photo by David Jensen Photography.  

Muffin and Bagel Muffin  - I've been adopted! 
Beagle female, tricolor, middle-aged. (Pictured here with brother Bagel) She has had a dental cleaning and is ready for a more active lifestyle so she can shed some pounds. She is quite happy being in her OWN bed and having her OWN human, and really would rather not be with another dog. She'd be content in a family with no kids or older kids, and either by herself or with another dog who respects her independence. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Fletch Fletch - I've been adopted! 
Shepherd mix male, 1-2 years old. This sweet boy has previously lived with other dogs. He would make a great hiking or skiing companion! He has led a mostly rural life so is just learning about life in the city. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Fozzy Fozzy - I've been adopted! 
Pomeranian male, older (around 10). He was left at Animal Care & Control by his family. His teeth and coat were in a severe state of neglect, but a good dental cleaning and a gradual grooming are getting him back to his naturally cute self. You'd never know he was a senior from his spunky personality and love of a good walk! Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Bobby Bobby - I've been adopted! 
Chihuahua male, tan, 12 lbs. He was left at Animal Care & Control by his former owner. He loves to go for walks and does well with other dogs. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Little Man and Missy Missy and Little Man - We've been adopted! 
Sheltie mix female, 9 years, and Beagle mix male, 6 years. This devoted pair were abandoned together at Animal Care and Control. We're taking a guess on their breed mixes, but whatever the combination, they are very sweet together. Both are healthy, microchipped and current on shots. They enjoy going on walks, are great in the car, and love just to be with you. Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
ZoeTaja

Zoe and Taja - We've been adopted! 
Here's why we're special... Two females, senior, who were abandoned at Animal Care & Control together. Cute as can be! We have a soft spot for "experienced" dogs who have so much more love to give. Both girls have had their teeth cleaned and are ready for a home where they can cuddle and go for gentle walks.

Gus Gus - I've been adopted! 
Toy Poodle male, chocolate. This adorable boy found himself as an unclaimed stray at Animal Care & Control. After a medical checkup and dental cleaning, he has a clean bill of health and is looking for an adult companion. He'll be a great lap warmer this winter!  Photo by David Jensen Photography.  
Muffin and Bagel Bagel - I've been adopted! 
Beagle male, tricolor, about 2 years old. (Pictured here with sister Muffin) He likes being in a pack!!! He'd prefer to have another dog around who is ready to run and play. He would be okay in a family with younger kids, as long as there is also a doggie companion who is as playful and energetic as he is!

In memory of...

Sheila

Sheila - I've gone ahead  to the Rainbow Bridge...
Dalmatian female, liver and white, 8+ years old. Due to a combination of health issues that were compromising her quality of life, Sheila finally found her forever home in heaven. Thanks to all who knew and loved her!

Breezy

Brady - I've gone ahead  to the Rainbow Bridge...
Cocker Spaniel senior male. Our sweet friend Brady was diagnosed with a prolapsed colon. Due to his age and the severity of his condition, surgery was not recommended, and we sent him to his final home with God. Photo by David Jensen Photography.
