My Story
Aspen, Alexa and Alana will be in our "Foster to Adopt Program" because they are so young. They were born August 30, 2024.
These three little puppies are so sweet! They are listed as a Terrier mix, but we'll be doing a DNA test on them soon and will share the details.
Aspen is the only male and Alexa and Alana are so cute! Their sister, Amelia, has already been adopted. Alexa and Alana weigh about 10 lbs, Aspen weighs 11 lbs and their hair is short.
They have all been wormed and had all three of their DAPP shots with plans for their alter in February. They are scheduled for their microchip insertion and spay/neuter surgery in February, 2025, and the cost is already in their adoption fee.
Since they're so young, they need to be adopted where there is another dog already, or feel free to adopt two siblings!
Filling out an application is the first step in the adoption process.
We don't always bring all animals to our adoption events so check ahead of time to make sure the animal you are interested in is still available. Some animals listed may already be promised.
Arizona Desert Rottie & Pals Rescue is a NO KILL rescue serving Tucson and the surrounding area.
We do home visits. A home visit is usually required for the safety of our animals. We check the yard to make sure this little puppy cannot escape, no predator can get in, and also look for hazardous plants.
At the end of the application, please include the type of fencing and the height of the fence you have around your yard. This Rescue does require a backyard 5' or 6' secure fence since these puppies are not leash trained yet.
If you're interested in any of these three 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.
