Meet Rex 

My name is Rex, that is what my foster family named me.  I was found in Yuma, weighing in at 76 lbs and full of Mange. Mange is a horrible skin disease that covered 60% of my body. I have big scabs all over my body and must admit that I am not very handsome.  Don't worry, the vet said I am not contagious.  Fortunately the Human Society called AZBHR to help find a foster home for me.

My foster family lives in New River.  John, a volunteer, drove all the way to Yuma to pick me up. He was so kind and said I was a good boy in the car.  I was so depressed because my doggie life, until now, has been pretty bad.  I was so thin and was sure no one loved me, especially with all this mange. 

My family tells me I am handsome and very well behaved.  I need to have a bath every day until this mange stuff goes away and I have ear and eye drops too.  I love to come into the house and take my naps--hounds are good sleepers, you know?

I love my foster brothers and sisters, two Bloods, two Chihuahuas, one Jack Russell and a Queensland.  I don't dislike cats, just curious and I must admit that when I first saw the horses I was scared but soon learned we could be friends.

Even though I am enjoying my life here, my foster mom tells me there will be a loving family who will take me home and shower me with all the love and affection I need. Hounds are wonderful family members, we are loyal, affectionate, and playful. My foster family has grandchildren and when they come to visit I love to follow them around and watch them play.  The thing I love the best in our big yard is to sniff all the ground, it makes me feel like I have a job to do.

  Meet Ms. Brenda Luna 

Brenda Luna is approximately 2-3 years old. She came to AZBHR after being found as a skinny, scared stray by the White Mountain Humane Society. Brenda has obviously been through traumas that we will never know about. She is missing one eye and has a permanent limp on her back hind leg from a fracture that did not heal properly. Don't worry though this girl has gained nearly 20 lbs, and runs and plays constantly with her bloodhound foster sister.

Brenda is dog door trained and loves bathing in the sun. She has been working with her foster family and a trainer to address her puppy like behavior and high energy level. She does at times fear being confined and or crated but with patience and treats she is beginning to enjoy her own space. Brenda needs a family committed to continuing her training and would do best in a very active home. She will do well with or without other dogs and children (currently she lives with 3 seven year olds and 5 other dogs).

Won't you please consider giving Brenda the love and forever family she deserves?

Meet Myles and Sweetness

Both Myles and Sweetness came from horrible living conditions; suffering from tick infestation resulting in tick fever.  They had parasites and were extremely thin. 

Myles is a 2-3 year old, male,  pure bred Black and Tan Bloodhound, and despite his living conditions, loves people and loves to have his ears rubbed.  He is very mellow and gets along with everyone.  He has a keen sense for people food, so he does love to surf the counters, but with a little training he will make a wonderful companion.  He thinks he is a lap dog and he loves to be near his people and will greet you with a big arrooo when you come home. 

Sweetness, is just the sweetest little girl.  She is a red Blood mix, with long ears and those bloodhound wrinkles.  She is about 5 months old and is recovering from the tick fever and parasites.  She loves playing with her foster brothers and sisters and is very calm, for being so young.  She would love to have a playmate in her new home.  She loves to snuggle with her big foster brother Waylon.  

 Won't you open your home and show these sweet hounds what the good life can be like?
