My story

Hey There, I’m Hulk! (But Not THAT Hulk!) Hi friends! My name is Hulk, and I’m on the hunt for my forever family! Now, before you picture a giant green superhero smashing through walls—STOP! I’m actually a tiny Chihuahua-Dachshund mix with a BIG personality and… okay, a little extra fluff around the middle. I got my name because I’m small but mighty (and maybe a little round). I’m working on my summer bod, so I need a family who will help me count my calories and not give in to my Oscar-worthy begging skills. Seriously, I can sit up on my haunches, wave, and bark for snacks like a pro. (Don’t worry, I’ll settle for a carrot stick!) If you’ve ever wanted a dog who doubles as a comedian, I’m your guy. Here’s my story: My brother Bruno and I were found as strays and taken to the Humane Society in Yuma. Our old humans never came back for us, but that’s okay—I’m ready for a fresh start! Bruno and I are still hanging out at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, but we don’t have to be adopted together. I’d be happy as an only dog or with other small pups. Big dogs? Umm… they’re kinda scary. I’ve probably never met one before, so I’d prefer to keep my circle small. I’m pretty sure I was an indoor dog, and I act like it. I LOVE being cozy and snuggling on laps. &#239&#184&#143 If you’re looking for a Netflix buddy or someone to keep your feet warm while you work from home, I’m your guy! I even went to an adoption event and was awesome with kids—so I’m family-friendly too! Whether it’s movie marathons or bedtime cuddles, I’m all about being close to my people. The best part? I’m neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so I’m ready to go home TODAY! No more getting lost for me. I’m healthy, happy, and just waiting for someone to say, “That’s my dog!” Quick Hulk Facts: Breed: Chihuahua-Dachshund mix (best guess!) Size: Small (with a little extra love) Personality: Sweet, silly, snack enthusiast Health: Neutered &#226&#156&#133 Vaccinated &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#156&#133 Ideal Home: Small home or apartment, no big scary dogs Special Request: Help me slim down (but still love me tons!) I’d do great in a small home or apartment, and I promise to bring lots of love, laughs, and cuddles. I’m the kind of dog who will greet you at the door like you’re a celebrity, follow you around like your biggest fan, and curl up next to you like we’ve been best friends forever. Want to meet me? Email mike@caaronline.org to set up a playdate! I may be small, but my heart is HUGE! Will you be my hero? ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Adopt me today and let’s start our adventure together!   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 #rescuesJanuary 12, 2026, 10:34 pm
