Come see us at PetSmart every weekend

Tucson Cold Wet Noses is a non-profit dog rescue and adoption organization founded by a group of local dog lovers whose goal is to rescue dogs from the local pound (Pima Animal Care Center or PACC) and find them their perfect homes through successful adoptions.

(sorry no other pets) If your just looking for that one and only special dog Beau is it. His adoption fee is $50.00. Please look at my complete bio on the adoptable dogs page.

My name is Lacey and I'm an older German Shepherd mix, weighing around 60 lbs. I am very gentle and affectionate, but that doesn't stop me from being a good watch dog. I know how to stay alert and bark appropriately.My foster mom says I'm very smart and good-natured. I know my name and can sit, shake paws and lie down on command. I'm comfortable in a crate although we don't have one at the moment. I love people of all sizes and am fine with cats, but I'm still learning to make friends with other dogs. I am spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on my shots. My adoption fee is $100 plus a $10.50 license transfer fee. Please give me a chance to join your family. I promise you eternal devotion and a hairy shoulder to lean on whenever you're feeling blue.

Most of our adoptable dogs come from the "rescue" line at Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) and would otherwise be euthanized. A few of our adoptable rescue dogs come from puppy mills, pet stores, and backyard breeders. We open our homes to these rescue dogs until they find their "furrever" homes, whether they are someone's pet store purchase they tired of, or Chihuahuas or pit bulls from backyard breeders.

Our ultimate goal is to have successful adoptions, a perfect match between the dog and its new owner. All of our dogs live inside with outside access for play and "business". We do not allow our dogs to be adopted out as "yard dogs".

Tucson Cold Wet Noses is not a breed-specific rescue, but we do get our share of purebreds, especially pit bulls and pit bull mixes; Tucson as well as all of Pima County has many pit bulls and pit bull mixes, many of whom find themselves at Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) for adoption. The bulk of the dogs we rescue and later adopt out are larger sized, furry mutts and senior rescue dogs because they have a tougher time finding adoptive homes. Click here to read more about us.

We are sorry, but we have our hands full taking in dogs from Pima County Animal Care Center and there are always more waiting for rescue. We cannot take in dogs or cats from the general public. We only have room in our foster care system for rescued pets.
