Hey guys it's me Cruiser!!!! So my family left me on the side of the road with my wheelchair but now I'm doing awesome! I'm not skinny anymore and I love cats and dogs! But most of all I want a home for the holidays! Yes I am partially paralyzed in my back end so I do require diapering but I am a good boy about it! Would you be willing to give me a chance? If so text Megan at 928-388-7519

Update: currently in a foster to adopt home :) thanks everyone!

Would any boxer lovers in yuma be willing to foster this baby who was spending his days being starved and chained up outside? So far he's showing signs of being potty trained and housebroken but this could change as he did spend his whole life tied to a tree. He is good with the current dogs he's been around and barks a little when you tried to put anything around his neck (obviously he doesn't want to go back to his old way of life) hessweet with kids so far and deserves to live indoors and be a true part of a family! Can you share? Can you foster? Can you adopt?

Please pm Megan with Homeward Bound Animal Rescue or text her at 928-388-7519. we can provide food and other things you may need.
More information is coming.

Megan update: Megan's neighbor is currently on hospice and is now in the great loving hands of the hansen house, but Megan is still an active daily part of her life. Please be patient as Megan is slowly juggling returning to small bits and pieces of rescue life while still being a loyal neighbor, friend, and mother.

That being said, this sweet dog is still living outside in the desert since the day he was born (no we won't reveal his location publicly for his safety and privacy of the family). He DESERVES a home and despite our constant posts and begging for fosters NOT ONE person has shown any interest in fostering him. Yes there are a lot of unknowns about how he will adjust in a new home but we have seen much more feral dogs adjust to home life and we know that if the right people step up for him and provide him with consistency, patience, and love he will thrive and survive! Does anyone have room for this angel? PLEASE 🥺

Be known that he is fed, given water, and looked after by some folks that live in an RV nearby as evidenced by this screenshot. But this obviously doesn't come close to a true indoor home with comfy beds and couches toys and treats etc.

If you can help please text Megan 928-388-7519 and as soon as she has a moment she will text back. Thanks!

Lexi's rescue story began in 2022. We received a call from a worker out at ypg that a German Shepherd had been abandoned near a canal. I didn't know my way around ypg but my husband did so we both loaded up late at night got our gear and set out to rescue Lexi. Upon arrival our hearts broke there she was sitting perfectly right next to a half a bag of dog food a bowl and wearing a beautiful collar. At that very moment I realized just how unfair life is for dogs.

So I got out of the car and she didn't run off in fact she approached me and seemed rather friendly. Enticed her with a few bites of ham and as she got closer and was more trusting I made the mistake of grabbing her collar to guide her to the car she turned around and snapped and caught my finger leaving a nice scar to remember her by. But it was all my fault I know better than to do that I should have just had a slip lead ready but that's not the point.

So after attending to my finger my husband and the worker set out the trap and caught her within minutes. I walked over and told her you don't know it yet but we love you. And for the past few years we've done exactly that but lately with our current life changes it's become increasingly difficult to give Lexi the freedom she deserves out of her kennel because her prey drive is increasing and weve had some close calls with our other pets. We tried several times to find Lexie her forever home but for one reason or another it just didn't pan out. We kind of came to the conclusion that we were meant to keep her so we did and the last few years we've done our very best to provide her with a life that she deserves but lately that's become much more difficult and much more challenging for a variety of personal reasons that can be explained later.

My Hope with this post is that we can find Lexi's true forever family. To give you a little more information she is about 5 years old and is 100% housebroken and crate trained. She absolutely loves to do anything active like play ball or catch a frisbee. She is not a chewer of things that shouldn't be chewed she really does just love her toys. Her best home would be without small dogs or cats. Quite frankly the best home for Lexie would be where she could be the only pet and center of attention. It is possible with a slow introduction and some training she could get along with dogs her size. She is spayed and microchipped and will need an updated rabies vaccine which I can help with. Lexi will come with her favorite toys, her industrial kennel, and a bag of dog food to transition her if you so choose.

Lexi will not go to the first home that applies. This is not first come first serve. We are looking for a home that is active and is willing to put in the effort to play with Lexi daily and to treat her like a family member. We are looking for a home that has a decent size backyard with secure fencing and secure Gates. We like to ensure during the home check that there's no hidden animals that you think you are going to train her to like because I promise you she doesn't like your cat or your small dog. Most of all we hope that you will never give up on her, never leave or abandon her on purpose, and most of all we ask that if for any reason it doesn't work out that she be returned to us because we do love her and we want the very best stability for her until we can find her a true forever home.

If you are interested in Lexi or have questions please email Megan at [email protected] or you can text me for quicker response at 928-388-7519.

It's almost like I tried to save this innocent dog many many times even offered to adopt him myself but nope "they loved him" too much! Deep sigh...

Yuma please do me a favor keep your animals contained this includes your cats and dogs. I have seen an uptick in Lost cats and my heart believes that the majority of them are being trapped and dumped in the desert to uncertain death. It's absolutely heartbreaking as rescuers when we beg and beg and beg people to treat their dogs like babies. Go outside with them when they are going potty especially if you have a small dog. Check your Gates daily make sure they're secure. Walk your dog with a martingale collar or a secure harness make sure that it's on tight with tags. Microchip your animals. Do right by your animals treat them the way they should be so they don't end up being scraped off the asphalt and left at the dump without your knowledge. Even deceased animals that are hit by cars are checked for microchips. At least then you would have closure. I understand accidents happen but most of this is negligence and a total disregard for your animal's well-being when you adopted them when you bought them you signed up for life. You signed up to care for them and love them and respect them forever. So stop being lazy and do what's right by your animals.
