Urgent! 2 Good Dogs Need Adopters/Fosters by the 13th!

Phoenix AZ

Description

OMG we will both die on 8/13! Set to be euthanized at County shelter! We are both good loveable dogs but sadly shelter places dogs on the E-list that are struggling in their kennel! It’s not fair...will someone come and meet us and save our life? Please read about them below. Call ) if you can save 1 of their lives. Or you may also go directly to the shelter to meet them (West Valley Animal Care Center), 2500S 27th Ave, Phoenix, hours Mon-Friday 12-6pm and Sat-Sunday 12-5pm). They are very sweet dogs and do NOT deserve to die because they were dumped in a shelter. AXEL (ID #A4751477) is a 4-year-old, neutered, gray and white American Pit Bull Terrier (68 lbs.). Axel’s previous owner had good things to say about him and only surrendered him because he wasn’t a good fit for a family with small children. His owners said that he loved cuddles and belly rubs, was housebroken, would go into his crate when asked, and sat patiently to be harnessed for walks. Axel was working on basic commands and was reportedly “really smart” and “eager to please”. He would entertain himself with a rope toy or tough Kong. He had exposure to cats and was curious about them but separation with very slow introductions were advised. The owner said that if someone came to meet Axel, he would steal their heart! Volunteers describe Axel as a “very kind dog” that may be a little timid but friendly. He leans in to get pets all over and to get belly rubs. He “sits” for treats and takes them gently and has been easy to leash and return to his kennel. If children are in the home, they must be 5 or older. It is recommended that he meets the entire family and that he is given time to know everyone because he may be a little timid. Axel has not been assessed with other dogs, so he would need SLOW introductions if there are dogs in the home. CECE (ID #A4748820) is a 2-year-old, spayed white and gray American Pit Bull Terrier (65 lbs.). CeCe came into the shelter as a homeless stray and was cooperative during intake. Sadly, no one came to look for her! At first, CeCe was uncomfortable with staff or volunteers she didn’t know. However, her recent notes say she has been affectionate and very friendly with both male and female volunteers. She comes up to be leashed when called and wags her tail. She is easy to leash and return to her kennel and walks moderately well on-leash. She “sits” on cue for treats and takes them gently and is playful when out in the yard. Volunteers think CeCe may be potty trained. CeCe’s sociability with dogs is unknown, so she would need to be kept separate initially, with a SLOW introduction to the resident dog(s). It is recommended that she meets the entire family, and she might benefit from in-home training to learn new skills. PLEASE REMEMBER!! All these dogs have been living in a high-stress environment and will need time to de-stress and relax!! Both will benefit from a predictable routine as well as ample exercise and play time.
