Sonny

This is Sonny, a 1 year old Shepherd orphan. He needs to be an only dog and someone who has the time to train with him as we will supply a training class with our trainer. Unfortunately his owner, a young Marine, was taken with Covid and this beautiful dog was left without a home. He was an outdoor dog until he arrived with our rescue. He's crate trained. NO SMALL CHILDREN as this dog has few manners and will jump up on a child. He is good with people but we don't know about other dogs at this point. He will require a securely fenced block wall yard and a patient person who will train him. We think he'd make a good police dog. Contact us if you know of any law enforcement agencies who would take him. He is a very smart dog, who is learning new tricks all by himself, we hate to see such a waste of a magnificent dog. No apartment dwellers, please. A home visit is required. Please fill out an app here if you are interested in adopting him. http://www.azdesertrotti.com/html/to_adopt.htm Filling out an application is the first step in the adoption process. If you have questions, the best way to contact us is to email [email protected]. We don't always bring all animals to our adoption events so check ahead of time to make sure the dog you are interested in is still available. Some dogs listed may already be promised. Arizona Desert Rottie & Pals Rescue is a NO KILL rescue serving Tucson and the surrounding area. A home visit is usually required for the safety of our animals. We check the yard to make sure Sonny cannot escape, no predator can get in, and also look for hazardous plants he may get in to. We do not adopt our dogs out unless you have a secure, individually fenced yard, it’s a requirement for the safety of the dog. At the end of the application, please include the type of fencing and the height of the fence you have around your yard. If you're interested in Sonny or any of our dogs, please fill out a pre application at: http://www.azdesertrotti.com/html/to_adopt.htm Once you have filled out the pre-adoption application, someone will contact you about the dog to answer your questions and tell you where our Sunday adoption event is held. Our dogs are bathed, dewormed, vet checked, given their required shots, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. Our rescues are homed with foster parents. They are fostered in homes so that we can tell you a little bit about their personalities, feeding schedule, habits, behavior, whether they get along with other dogs. We can tell you if they are crate trained, if they are leash trained and house trained. Most dogs need a refresher course on potty training when they go to a new home. They need to learn your routine, and it will be up to you to teach them. Even the most abused animals can be wonderful pets. It takes patience, love and good food, along with fun and commitment to the animal. Fosters work with these animals. They are a part of our families, while we are lucky enough to have them.
