Sherry Petta Rescue Sherry Petta Rescue helps lost pets find their way home, strives to keep pairs together, and finds d We are The Pair People™. Thank you for being involved!

Sherry Petta Rescue (Scottsdale, AZ) promotes the adoption of rescue dogs, assists in search & rescue efforts to help owners reunite with their lost pets, hosts fundraising events for no-kill rescues, and encourages simple ways you can volunteer to make a big difference in the world of too many homeless dogs. SPR believes in keeping dog-buddies together and will not separate bonded pairs. Sherry Petta kicked off Passion for Pairs™ over a decade ago when rescues made it a habit to separate dogs who had been together for years. If two dogs have lost their family and their home, they do not deserve to lose each other! If you don't have an abundance of time to volunteer, maybe you can foster a dog (or adopt!), or volunteer at occasional fundraisers or adoption events. Even "sharing" posts from this page to bring awareness to others of adoption and volunteering opportunities is a tremendous help. Every dog (or pair) who is taken in by SPR gets 5-star treatment. They are loved in a foster home, they are fully vetted, and their placement is done with extreme attention to detail, making sure that every dog who we have the honor to place ends up in the dream home they deserve, and a home that is a good fit for both the people and the dog(s).

PENNY AND COCO ARE STILL AT THE SHELTER AND MUST STAY TOGETHER!!!!! Please, if you have it in your heart to adopt and love them and keep them together, please help.

I saw a post yesterday for who I think are a match for these two missing dogs. The dogs had some up to someone's house if I remember correctly. Dogs were pictured on either sidewalk or driveway ... does anyone remember seeing that? There are so many Lost & Found groups now, I have no idea where I saw the post :(

NEED HELP FAST! PLEASE SHARE! Penny is not doing well in the shelter. She is fearful of loud sounds (typical - thunder, fireworks, etc.) but any startling loud sounds and upsetting situations. The shelter is loud. She is not doing well ..... They need an out.... TOGETHER. Coco is also fearful of typical loud sounds but managing a little better in the shelter. Whoever adopts or fosters will need to work with them on this, maybe get thunder shirts, provide music and calming chews during "events" that make noise.

They are two years old, brother and sister, their human died. Now they are in a shelter, at risk of separation (or worse). They love to play together at home. They are indoor dogs and enjoy romping and playing, chasing each other in the yard. They are homebodies and prefer staying home instead of going on hikes. It doesn't seem they were ever walked, so a leash is a new thing. If you have a yard where they can exercise, this would be best. Penny is a flight risk right now due to her high fear level in the shelter. Adopter or foster would need to be very cautious ... protecting this sweet pair with love and attentiveness. Their time is limited. IF A RESCUE CAN TAKE (best) and PROMISE to keep them together, this is ideal. We are also open to a committed foster who does not have a deadline. Even better -- someone who has the right setting, right amount of time, patience and love to help these dogs feel comfortable again .... adopting them together right now would be the best thing for them ... eliminating additional transitions.

** Viral Please Arizona ** ** ** URGENT ** ** Penny (female) and Coco (male) are fun and sweet lab mixes about 2 years old. Sadly, their owner passed away and they have been surrendered to Pinal County Animal Control. They are scared in the shelter environment and will not do well ... and to top it off, they will get separated (or worse). These two are heartbroken from the loss of the only family they ever knew..... PLEASE SHARE to help find an immediate together-forever family for them ..... they do not deserve to lose each other. This is heartbreaking! 💔 Must act fast because as you may know, surrenders are generally not given "enough" time to find a home. NOTES: older, mild children okay. Penny is a somewhat fearful, would not like a rowdy and loud situation. There was a cat in the house and they didn't bother the cat. They would chase outdoor cats so the cat-verdict is still up in the air 🙂 They are INDOOR DOGS but enjoy a yard for their potty and play-time. They are not leash-trained. With Penny's current fear level at the shelter and loss of her human, she is going to be a flight risk -- they will both need time to settle in -- patience, love, attentiveness, let them adjust. They are BEAUTIFUL dogs.

PLEASE do not let these two get separated!! Their owner died. They are now at a shelter. Shelters do not require that pairs get adopted together. Please don't let this happen! Share*share*share*share*share* -- ADOPT THEM TOGETHER, Penny & Coco, at Pinal County Animal Control. Please do not be the person who adopts just one. There are 150 other solo dogs. Get one .... OR get these two. This is so heartbreaking.... PLEASE SHARE to help find them a together-forever home. Penny💜Coco

Clearly, these two were brought in together -- but they are listed separately. DON'T ADOPT JUST ONE. Is there anyone who would love to have two little cuties as a new addition to their family?

A special tribute to precious "Tiny" Tommy who was my very first foster dog. This video is from 2013 when he was rescued as a "tiny" and very skinny, matted puppy. Despite his neglected condition, he had the happiest heart and playful attitude, and he was so very loving. Needless to say, he was one of the cutest puppies ever.

This precious puppy was adopted and named Tommy by who would turn out to be the best parents he could ever imagine.... Susan and Johnny. Tommy was part of their wedding and a cherished part of their lives for 13 years.

Last night, Tommy rested .... and now he is running free at the Rainbow Bridge, romping through the flowery fields of Heaven, knowing no pain; knowing no sadness. He is a bouncing happy little boy .... just like when he was fostered and got to learn that life and people were not so bad, and got to learn what it was like to be protected, pampered, and loved by his very own family.

Thank you, Susan and Johnny, for taking such good care of this little love who meant so much to me. My tears flowed when I had to give him up thirteen years ago (and tears falling from my eyes tonight too).... fostering is so fun, but then the hard part is letting go. The healing part is knowing he got an incredible home and was loved for every single moment of his life... and after. Thank you so much.

And thank you Jennifer for the cute little jammies you gave him, which he was wearing in this video.

Oh don't we wish we could turn back time sometimes..... 💔

Run free sweet little Tiny Tommy. You were and are loved very much. 💜
