Adoptable pets in and around Tucson
Check out some of these pets needing a home.
Adopt a friend: Noel
NOEL — COONHOUND
Age: 1½ years.
Story: Noel is very sweet, she is energetic, a quick learner and wants to please, though at times she can be a bit stubborn. We believe she was never a companion animal before coming into rescue, so she needs time to settle into the routine of the household. A house with a mellow, non-threatening dog or a puppy would do well with Noel. Older children (older than 10) are also a good match for Noel. Noel loves to rip stuffed toys apart, so unless you like cleaning up all the fuzzies, it’s probably not a good toy for her. Noel needs a confident, coonhound savvy person to help her become the loving companion dog she was meant to be.
Fee: $200

Adopt a friend: Pumpkin
PUMPKIN
