When it comes to a ‘special needs’ dog, there should be emphasis on the word ‘special’ – there is nothing more special than a dog like Dean!
A 1.5 yr old Miniature Pinscher-mix, Dean was most likely born without eyesight.He is completely blind and was originally found on the side of a busy road by a Good Samaritan who luckily was able to save him before he got into the busy street or highway nearby! Despite his disability, nothing stops Dean from enjoying life to the fullest! He has a joyful spirit and doesn’t let what he doesn’t have bring him down.
Due to his lack of eyesight, Dean works hard to learn his new environment. He’s a very smart boy, who adapts quickly, but he can get frightened by new sounds, especially loud ones like sirens. As a result, a quiet, low-key home is preferred for him. Dean would thrive in a home without children (young or older) or cats. The extra noises of children do make him uncomfortable, and he doesn’t quite understand why cats won’t play with him!
He would greatly appreciate a home with a consistent routine that will give him ample time to get comfortable around any new visitors. Once he feels safe, he is the biggest love bug and wants to play! Dean takes comfort in the safety of his crate, which will be a great tool for his future family to continue using in order to provide him a safe, quiet place in his new home.
Dean is potty trained at his current location and in a new unfamiliar environment, he will need to learn the routine of being let outside. He greatly would prefer being let outside in a private backyard over being put on a leash to go potty. He would love another dog friend to play with and help lead the way. Dean enjoys playing with toys and chewing on marrow bones, and if you can’t find him, he has most likely burrowed himself underneath blankets!
This boy just wants to be loved and feel safe, and we know the perfect home is out there for him. He will bring so much joy to his perfect forever home! Dean’s adoption fee includes his completed veterinary exams, vaccinations, microchip and neuter. Apply below to meet our special boy. He’ll melt your heart at first sight.

In the spring of 2023, Kiska was hit by a car near her home in Alaska. She was completely paralyzed on her back legs, and her family lived over 120 miles from a specialist. With limited resources available and issues with time commitments, her family surrendered her to a rescue that worked with special
needs dogs in Chandler, Arizona. Little did they know, they had sent their little girl off into the worst nightmare of a situation.
At a time when Kiska desperately needed medical care and treatment, she instead sat in a home with 55 other special needs dogs who had little to no access to food and water, let alone any semblance of attention and love. And because of her hit-by-car accident, Kiska was incontinent, like many of the other animals in the home. Tragically, she [and they] sat in soiled diapers for days on end. Finally discovered one month after Kiska's arrival, the founder of the "rescue" fell under investigation for animal cruelty and neglect by the Chandler Police Department. Kiska and 54 other dogs were pulled from the home and taken into custody by the Arizona Humane Society. Sadly, many dogs were found deceased, and the rest were in horrible conditions. Those who were saved from the hoarding hell-house became known as the Chandler55.
Thankfully, Kiska survived the gross neglect, and she was released from the
custody of the Arizona Humane Society into the home of one of our volunteers. She received the medical care she needed to get on the proper road to recovery. She improved so much that she even started to walk on her own without her wheelchair! Kiska continues to make daily improvements, and what remains incredibly inspiring is her never-ending happiness, zest for life and pure love that pours from her sweet spirit.
Now that Kiska is so stable, healthy and making huge strides by the day, we are looking for a foster-to-adopt home for her -- the forever kind of home that will love, cherish and care for her for all her many years to come. A home that has experience with dogs in wheelchairs and incontinence would be wonderful but is not a requirement as our medical team is confident that Kiska could fully recover from her injuries over time. Kiska is currently in a foster home with other dogs her size and smaller. We believe having other fur siblings will help her rehabilitate faster. She is young, playful and has so much pep in her step. She loves to go on walks and would also love a big backyard to run and roll in.
During the foster period, our rescue will cover all continued medical care until we deem her fully ready to be adopted. Her adoption fee will include her completed exams, completed physical therapy, vaccines, microchip and spay. You will also have our ongoing support as we work together to give Kiska the most beautiful second chance at the life she has always deserved! If you would like to be the happy ending to this special girl's journey, please apply using the button below. We promise she will steal your heart in no time!

BRAVE. PERFECT MANNERS. TRUE ANGEL!
After being picked up as a stray, Loretta was quickly put on the county shelter’s euthanasia list for having multiple mammary masses and a few lumps and bumps at just seven-years old. Not afraid of a mass (or two!), we knew her life shouldn’t end there. We brought her into our care hoping to provide her a long, happy life.
Unfortunately, there was a mast cell tumor discovered in her leg that showed that it had spread into her lymph nodes. We rallied behind her resilient spirit and tried oral chemotherapy, but the medications were too hard on her body.
Loretta may not have a very long life ahead of her, but we know she can have a happy one for however long she has left. Her dream home is one where she can get plenty of love and attention from her people and enjoy the coziness of a soft bed.
Our beautiful girl is looking for a family where she can be the one and only pet and has older children or is adult-only. Loretta would benefit from a consistent routine and daily walks where she can explore the world.
This gentle, relaxed lady is a professional cuddler who loves meeting new people and going new places. She has mastered crate- and house-training, has amazing leash and door manners and knows basic commands.
Loretta’s adoption fee includes her completed veterinary exams, vaccines, spay and microchip. We will continue to cover her ongoing cancer care. Apply now to meet this angel who is SO deserving of a home to live out the remainder of her days. She will win you over with her sweet and silly personality, perfect manners and her most soulful eyes.
Adoption fee: $250
