Suki
County ID A5169746
Deadline: Wednesday, September 16.
Suki is a 62-pound pit bull who leans into people for affection and knows what a home feels like. She's been gentle and steady with every handler who's taken her to yard time, but she's been at East for over a month and her leg isn't getting better. She needs out now, into a foster home that can get her the orthopedic care the shelter can't give her.
Already applied? Call or text 602-834-4911 and tell us it is Suki.
What the shelter has seen
- Found as a stray, spent just three hours with a finder who watched her greet teenagers gently, ride calmly in a car, and sit on command
- Shelter handlers describe the same dog for a month: soft against their legs, rolling for belly rubs, loose on leash, calm walking past other dogs in kennels
- Has an orthopedic injury that requires treatment beyond what the shelter can provide
What Suki needs
A foster who can manage veterinary follow-up for an orthopedic injury and give this affectionate dog a soft place to heal. She barked at a cat from a distance, so a cat-free home is safest. Deadline is September 16th.
Everything here comes from Suki’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record. We leave out the parts that belong between the shelter, the rescue and the vet, and we do not soften what a dog needs. If something changes at the shelter, this page changes with it.
