Tangerine

My story

Tangerine Is Ready for His Forever Home Hello! My name is Tangerine, and I’m a 10&#226&#128&#145month&#226&#128&#145old pup with a big heart and an even bigger dream: finding a family to call my own. Life hasn’t always been easy, but I’ve never stopped believing that my perfect person is out there. Here’s my story: Back in August, my brother Orange and I ended up at the pound. We’re not sure how—we were just two strays trying to survive. We waited for someone to come for us, but no one ever did. For months, we held on to hope, and then in December, Central Arizona Animal Rescue stepped in and gave us a second chance. Now I’m safe, loved, and ready to start the next chapter of my life—with you. What kind of dog am I? Honestly, nobody knows for sure, and that’s part of what makes me special. I’m a unique mix with a short, sleek coat and brindle markings that give me a one&#226&#128&#145of&#226&#128&#145a&#226&#128&#145kind look. Photos don’t always capture it, but in person, you’ll see just how handsome I am. At 10 months old, I’m still all puppy—playful, curious, and full of energy. I love other dogs and get along great with them, so if you already have a canine companion, I’d be thrilled to join the pack. Cats? I haven’t met any yet, so we’ll have to see. I’m still working on house training, but I’m smart and eager to learn. With a little patience and consistency, I’ll get it down in no time. Here’s the best part: I’m neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so I’m healthy and ready to go home today. All I need is someone who sees me for who I am—a loyal, loving pup who just wants a chance to belong. Imagine life with me: Morning walks where I remind you to enjoy the fresh air. Play sessions that make you laugh until your cheeks hurt. Quiet evenings curled up by your side, my head resting on your lap as you relax. I may not have a pedigree, but I have something better—a heart that’s ready to love you unconditionally. I’ve been through a lot, but I never gave up hope. Now I’m waiting for the person who will make all of this worth it. If you’re looking for a best friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, I’m your guy. I’ll bring joy, laughter, and endless tail wags into your life. All I ask is for a chance to show you how much love I have to give. Ready to meet me?
