My story

 HELLO, HUMAN FRIEND! I’M CHURRO! A dashing Doberman with soulful eyes, soft ears, and a heart that melts faster than ice cream in July! If you’re searching for a handsome, sweet-natured boy to share your days with, say hello to Churro—a 2-year-old, 60-pound hunk of love with a gentle soul and a silly streak. He’s house trained like a pro and absolutely lives for his morning sniffari (3–4 miles of nose-powered adventure!). After he’s earned his breakfast, this velvety gentleman is all about couch cuddles and quiet time.  Hobbies Include: Whether it squeaks, crinkles, or crunches, Churro is always eager to put every toy through its paces. Sinking his teeth into a good chew (he’s got excellent taste in textures!). Strutting politely on leash when he feels safe and secure. Making fast furry friends—he was super dog-social at the shelter!  Sensitive Soul Alert! Churro is incredibly sweet and gentle, but also a bit shy when it comes to meeting new people or navigating unfamiliar sounds and environments. He's made huge strides in his confidence with us, and now he’s ready for a forever family that sees his sensitivity as something special. He’d thrive with a patient, experienced adopter who’s committed to continuing his reactivity work, gently reinforcing basic commands, and creating a world where Churro feels safe to shine.  Not a Match For: Loud, bustling households—Churro prefers peaceful surroundings. Small children—their energy and unpredictability can be overwhelming for him. Unstructured environments—he’s still learning, and structure helps him blossom.  Perfect For You If... You’re the kind of person who sees the beauty in a work-in-progress. Someone who finds joy in watching trust grow, tail wags get stronger, and quiet dogs bloom into confident companions. If you believe love is earned slowly and beautifully, Churro just might be your soulmate. If you would like to meet Churro please e-mail mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment.   PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt. Do not e-mail us with a request to call you, if you have a question, please ask in the e-mail.   All dogs are adopted on a first come - first served basis. Central Arizona Animal Rescue is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation. We are located in San Tan Valley, AZ. If you have other dogs already, you must bring them for introduction prior to adoption. Follow us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/CentralArizonaAnimalRescue Follow us on Instagram -  www.instagram.com/centralarizonaanimalrescue Follow our YouTube Channel - www.youtube.com/channel/UCp43a-ycLJ2BwsgW8hu6UVg WE DO NOT TAKE OWNER SURRENDERS - If you are looking to surrender a dog, take them to the county animal control in the county you reside in. That is where we get all of our dogs we are trying to save. #rescuedogsoffacebook #rescuedogsrule #dogs #doglife #doglovers #doglover #rescueismyfavoritebreed #rescuedogs #rescuepup #rescuedogsrock #dogrescue #CAAR #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogrescuers #arizonarescuedogs #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog #HelpingLostPets #mutts #mixedbreed #shelterdogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #adopteddogsofinstagram #adoptashelterpet #spayandneuter #adopted #rescuepet #opttoadopt #rescuesAugust 8, 2025, 6:15 pm
