Dog of the Week

Mack
I would like to introduce you to one of the most gentle, sweet and kind boys I have met since being with the rescue. His name is Mack; Kathy rescued him a year ago from the pound. He was in terrible shape, she found a nice lady with a sanctuary where he could go to heal, physically and emotionally. Mack had been used as a bait dog. I get tears in my eyes every time I even think about the life he has led; he is only about 3 years old! As you can see from his pictures, the one side of his face shows his scars, part of his nose is missing, part of his jaw is missing, part of his lip is torn and his ears are torn in half. His teeth have been almost completely filed down so he can’t enjoy a chew like other dogs… HOWEVER, Mack doesn’t complain, doesn’t carry a grudge… instead he kisses you when you kneel down to him, he buries his head into your neck, and he wags his tail when you talk to him!!!!

Special Needs

URGENT!!! DONATIONS NEEDED!!
This is Tempe a 2 year young Yorkie. She was found by the Tempe Police Department on Sunday 01/08/2012 in a dumpster along with her bloody dog bed. She was left to die there. She immediately recieved vet care to stabilize her until further treatment could be provided this morning (01/09/2012). The emergency vet first believed that She suffered these horrific injuries at the hands of a human... after further evaluation by our vet today (1/9/12) and having the areas shaved for surgery, it appears that another animal caused the injuries. HOWEVER, the human that should have been "caring for her" left her in this condition for a week or more without medical treatment. They then disposed of her in the dumpster. Her eye will be removed, her jaw is broken and her trachea has been crushed. There is NOTHING this little girl could have done to deserve this horrific cruelty.


Please make donations online via paypal or directly to Prestige Animal Clinic where she is recieving treatment.

Special Need

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to rescue abandoned, injured or abused dogs, rehabilitate them, have them vaccinated, spayed or neutered and help them find their forever home. We also strive to increase public awareness about the gentler, humane side of a "Bully" breed.

Our Adoption Process

We hold adoption clinics weekly at various PetSmart pet centers in the area. Although we specialize in American Pitbull and American Staffordshire Terriers, all dog breeds in need are accepted with open arms, evaluated and treated as necessary and adopted to private homes. Our prospective adopters are required to fill out an in depth adoption contract, submit to home checks for a period of one year, as well as pay an adoption fee for the animal. Additionally, there are monetary penalties that must be agreed to for any mistreatment of the adopted animal. We also reserve the right to reclaim the animal in the event of mistreatment. Further, we reserve the right to pursue any individuals for mistreatment or neglect of the adopted animal through the court system or law enforcement agencies. All of the above must be read, initialed and the entire document signed prior to any adoption. We also have additional and specific requirements of the prospective adopters and their families to adopt a “bully” breed that must be met.
