Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Phoenix.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Weighing in at 15 pounds, Farley is an adorable boy, who is full of life and energy. He has a typical "lhasa-tude" attitude and doesn’t always know who is boss, so he needs a home with an owner who is both savvy and experienced with the breed and will be able to show him who is in charge.

This little guy came to us very, very afraid and would bite when he felt threatened. He attached to women very quickly, but was especially afraid of men. Sadly, we are confident this little guy had been abused and it caused him to be very insecure. He's been living with a trainer for several weeks now and has come such a long way!
