Maya is a 4 1/2-year-old American Pit Bull/Chinese Shar-Pei mix. She originally came to the Arizona Animal Welfare League on March 1, 2012, and then adopted exactly a month later. She was then returned to AAWL earlier this year when it was found that while she is very social and loves the dog park and other dogs, she isn’t a fan of living in the same home with them. Maya is a very shy girl and it takes a while for her to warm up to any new human friend, but once she does, she has a way of stealing your heart and making you fall for her.

Little brown Zoey is definitely all puppy, full of energy and so happy just to be alive. Curious about everyone and everything and just an awesome little girl. She even still has that wonderful puppy breath. She loves going on outings, car rides and chasing after toys, leaves or birds, etc. Zoey is a petite little girl with a big heart full of love and ready to open it up to anyone willing to give her a chance. She is a great little shopper as she demonstrated on a recent trip to Pet Club, checking out everything on the bottom shelf but never once taking anything in her mouth. She is a joy to be around and will bring a smile to your face and everyone she meets. Zoey loves other dogs so a home with another canine to romp with would be nice. Her forever family must be one that is ready to give her guidance and show her right from wrong. She is not completely house trained and needs some work on that, but she is a very smart little girl so she will master this in no time.

It probably will take her some time to warm up and feel comfortable in her new home, but once she decides you’re OK and not so scary, she’s a real charmer.

Peete is a 9-year-old, active Beagle boy. Unlike most Beagles, he enjoys floating on a raft in the pool, as you can see by his picture. He’d love to hang out with you in your pool too, if you have one. But if you don’t, that’s OK too; he would be just as happy cuddling with you on your lap, or taking walks with you. Peete is a very peppy boy, but also loves naps, of course. His foster mom says that Peete is great with other dogs and is very obedient. His only weakness: young children (under 10) make him nervous, but he loves older kids.

Beau might be the sweetest Beagle you’ll ever meet. He has big brown eyes, soft, long ears and a fluffy coat. He is 10 years young and is living in a foster home with three little kids who he loves. He is gentle and obedient. Other dogs are great company and he can even handle a cat. He plays well with others. Beau’s foster mom says he can be kenneled if needed, but she trusts him around her house. That is probably because he’s such a sweet and mellow guy. He mostly naps during the day. If he sees a bird or hears a dog bark, he likes to let out a good howl to let them know he’s around. Although he loves his foster family, Beau cannot wait to find his forever family.

Payton, a female Collie blend, 15 to 18 months old, is a nice girl that was found as a stray by a nice family who tried to find her original owners for several weeks. With no luck, they asked us to take her in and find her another home. We are all smitten with this sweet girl. She is about a year old so she has some puppy energy and would do great in an active home. We haven’t had her in a foster home yet but the family that found her said she does wonderfully in a home, and we believe she is house trained. Payton is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations.
