Lux, a 9-week-old Goldendoodle is the sweetest, most mischeavious pup I’ve encountered. My wife and I adopted our first pup 2 weeks ago and it’s been non-stop ‘awes’, hiding chewable shoes and replacing puppy ‘pee pads’. My name is Stephen, a 37-year Arizonan, the newest addition to the Vail Voice newspaper in...
My wife and I really enjoy reading “The Vail Voice”. Thank you for all the hard work it takes to produce it. We moved to Tucson in 1994 and have had 17 dogs pass through our home over all these years. I (Pat) worked with Southern Arizona Boxer Rescue for many years and enjoyed the fostering process. Sometimes, though, I would fail and...
It was a regular day coming home from work. I didn’t have any pets, but this day turned out differently. I opened the door of my house and saw a dog barking and looking at me. I was in shock because I didn’t plan to have a dog, nor did I know I had one. In my childhood I had a dog that passed away in my arms by coincidence, so since...

This is Brody. We adopted him in Dragoon 2 years ago from a rescue shelter there. After owning a number of dogs that weighed over 100 lbs we decided to downscale. We took a look at this guy and said, “Yep, a 45 lb Border Collie is just what we need!” It wasn’t until 6 months later and 50 more pounds that we found out that besides...

She came over with all four puppies and...
