We process adoption applications in the order they are received. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that
a particular dog will be available at the time your application is processed.

a number of health issues. I had a couple of cysts removed and was
spayed. I can tell you one thing, I am very glad that I have been

puppies over the years. My health issues have all been addressed and
taken care of.

Daisy
This sweet 5 years old girl, joined our foster family in early April.
She has fared extremely well with three bonded male hounds and is secure
within the pack. Daisy was obviously neglected and mildly abused.
She is doing far less cowering and rolling over into a submissive
position. With encouragement and coxing she has become more confident
and secure.

gets along well with all she meets. She enjoys a good belly rub and lots
of attention from her people. She does have difficulty with stairs so a
single story home would be best for her. Estella can use her voice when
appropriate, but is not an indiscriminate barker.

and thin as a Peppermint Stick candy. I am about 6 years old and have
not had such a great life. I came to AZBHR with a bad case of heart

be a serious reason I was so skinny.

another dog around he is okay.

Jack Hi! I'm Jack - so called because I
may be half basset, but my foster mom is convinced I have some Jack Russell
terrier in me! I am one happy, bouncy dog! If someone had a frisbee, she is
convinced I could become a champion! Apparently, she doesn't have one
because my four-legged foster brothers and sisters just kind of sit around
here not doing much.
