ARIZONA RESCUE NEEDS YOUR HELP

Many of our rescued dogs have needed medical attention, and the dogs in need of medical care keep coming. Our Vet bill is at an all-time high, and we are asking for your help. In recent months yard sales, dog photo shoots and other fundraisers by Volunteers has raised thousands of dollars, but thousands more are needed so that Arizona Rescue can continue to help the many dogs that come to the Rescue Program. Please call us if you can help us by making a cash donation, or donating items for a yard sale, or if you have an idea for a fundraiser. Thank you.

ALL RESCUES PLACED BY ARIZONA ST. BERNARD RESCUE ARE SPAYED/NEUTERED, VET CHECKED, HW NEG. & ON PREVENTATIVE AND IMMUNIZATIONS ARE CURRENT. A NONREFUNDABLE ADOPTION FEE OF $350.00 IS APPLICABLE. DOGS (6 YEARS AND OLDER) WILL HAVE A REDUCED ADOPTION FEE DEPENDING ON THEIR CONDITION. IN THE CASE OF PUPPIES, WHEN AVAILABLE, THE ADOPTION FEE IS to be determined AND THE OWNER IS FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SPAY/NEUTER BY THE TIME FRAME SET BY THE RESCUE.

As a general rule, we don't have the facilities or opportunity to determine if our rescue's are housebroken. Therefore we place them as not being housebroken for the simple fact that even if they are, when placed into new environments with new families accidents do and will happen! It generally takes very little time to housebreak an adult dog as they are so willing to please. With ANY rescue, a 6 week time commitment is necessary for adjustment; both yours and the dogs. Some adjust quicker, others longer but if you don't have the time please don't adopt a dog! The beauty of a rescue is watching the personality come out as they become comfortable and a part of their new family!

The dogs with highlighted descriptions are special needs dogs, living out their lives in rescue's care and are not available for adoption.

Nike: 6 mo old shorthaired neutered male. This guy is extremely loving and affectionate. Hasn't met a human he didn't like. Since he is a puppy, he definitely needs some training. But do to his loving nature he's very eager to please. He's good with other dogs and almost housetrained. But not sure about cats. 4/30/2008

HOLLY: is a 9-12 month old spay, longhaired female. She loves people, young and old. As she is still a pup, she will need some consistent training in order for her to learn her new family’s routine.

CODY: is a 1 1/2 year old neutered, longhair male. He loves people and has never met a stranger. He can be a bit dominant with other male dogs in play, so a home with a larger female dog would be best. He is a very willing dog and would like to learn more with his obedience training.

Darla: is a 3 year old spay, longhaired female. She is a very sweet girl who has lacked people interaction, but warms up quickly. Darla does not like children, probably due to their quick motion and voice pitch. She gets along well with another larger male Saint Bernard in our rescue program. She needs positive interaction to build her confidence in new situations and has a lot of potential to be a great companion in a quieter home situation. 6/2/2005

Sienna: **Special Needs Senior** Sienna is a 9-10 year old spay, longhaired female, who has been in our rescue program kennels for the past 5 years. We would love to see her live out her remaining life in a home where she can just be the best that she can be. She is a very sweet and loving "people" girl. She can be dog dominant and a little cranky with other dogs and with her given age, we can accept this. She would love a home where she can be the "one and only" special family dog. She loves short walks and car rides....and will make a wonderful addition to her new family, Sienna has a heart of gold and will spend all of her waking moments bringing love and compassion to the family who loves her. 8/25/2002
