🤩HUGE NEWS! Yuuuuge! Yogi has had to wear a cone since July (!) when he was picked up as a stray with *very* severe ear damage due to injury/neglect. So severe that he required #TECAsurgery BUT…he has been the happiest, most special, patient, and #grateful soul throughout the entire series of diagnostics, procedures, and convalescence (rest, warm compresses, and that cone!) He’s a happy, loving dog who simply wants to be pet and held! This morning, Yogi’s foster mom gave him a break from the cone to enjoy a roast pumpkin snack, a head and neck rub, and to take this quick photo. You’ll see more of Yogi soon when he’s cone-free and ready to meet his new family. Watch our website for his detailed profile. 😊 #adoptlove #thekindestheart #rescueddogsofinstagram #shepherdmix #whocares #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #absolutelyfabulous #noearsnoproblem #cuddlebun #supersnuggler #divinedoggo #blackandtanforthewin #thanksgiving #ourfamilynest #scottsdale #phoenix #litchfieldpark #chandleraz #fountainhills #sharingiscaring 🐾

Opie is the goodest good boy. 😇 He really loves to go for runs and walks and needs a big yard for zoomies. He craves a home with active humans who will help him live his best life! This dog is built for hiking and snacks and snuggles. Swipe to see him when he was rescued - hungry little wandered in a remote part of the state. WHERE IS OPIE’S NEW FAM?! 🤩 See his video highlight and our website for more info. #adoptdontshop #nosofaspuds #getupgetout #fitnesslife #runnersofinstagram #maybeadingo #maybehusky #maybeaussie #whocares #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #scottsdale #phoenix #gilbertaz #chandleraz #surpriseaz

🐕 Most of us know the importance of planning when a dog joins us on vacation travel, but how much planning goes into the “get-ready” routine when dogs are left home for hours? After a fun-filled trip or busy weekend, it’s especially important to exercise dogs and provide enrichment that will help them feel content during quiet hours when we’re not available to them. For a dog who’ll be crated, a Kong with frozen peanut butter inside can help. For a dog who’s absolutely trustworthy without crating, it can be fun to quickly hide tiny treats around the house. (While they’re not watching, of course! This can be as simple as a few pieces of high-quality kibble.) #mustlovedogs #adoptlove #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsofinstagram #doglife #dogisgood #dogdaysofsummer #humantraining #dogtrainingtips #scottsdale #gilbertaz #fountainhills #litchfieldpark

Alder is a hearty player who loves to race around the splash pad... he just discovered frisbee (although for now he’s into carrying them around more than catching/chasing.) He is ALL PUPPY but amazingly served as guardian for his two tiny sisters (daughters??) Maple and Juniper. They’ve found their new families, but Alder is still waiting! He’d love a home with active humans and a pool (or at least a kiddie pool). His fur is soft as silk — when he slows down enough to be touched.😂 #adoptlove #dontlitter #puppyhero #kangapei #peimix #dontbullymybreed #funinthesun #nosofaspuds #getupgetout #arizonalife #scottsdale #fountainhills #gilbertaz #chandleraz #mesaaz #surpriseaz
