Wookie's Story

Wookie is a 12-year-old Lhasa mix who was given up because her owners could not find a place to live where they could keep her. You would never in 1 million years guess that she is 12. She acts far younger and is very puppy like. She is however, already trained and doesn't chew or dig or bark incessantly. She does take a moment to get to know people. She's a little bit wary at first, which is typical for a Lhasa Apso. Wookie weighs just under 13 pounds. She has just been spayed and updated on all her vaccinations as well as being microchipped. She gets along with all the other dogs here. She really is an easy dog to get along with once you have met her and she is really no trouble to take care of. She loves attention, but won't nag you for it. She is good at being alone as well. Wookie is ready for a new home who will never give up on her. Senior dogs are always especially grateful. It seems when they get home. They seem to have more love to give, and it is definitely a rewarding and worthwhile experience. <br/><br/>Wookie is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. <br/><br/>Wookie's adoption fee is $225<br/> This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue! If you would like to be considered to for this adoption or any of our amazing rescues, please fill out the application with the help of this link. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AZST/Dog.<br/><br/> We review each application carefully. Please understand that sometimes we get numerous applications for specific dogs and as a volunteer-based rescue, we do not always have the time to respond to each one. We do our best to choose the most suitable home for each dog based on their specific personality and needs. Please note you MAY NOT be contacted for up to 10 days to schedule a meet and greet if your family is the most suitable for this rescue dog. Regrettably, we do not have the manpower currently to contact all applicants. We keep ALL applications in our database so please feel free to contact us when you see another dog of interest. We appreciate all applicants and do our best to pair every dog and family for a successful and happy life.
