Found/Stray Dog in Mesa, AZ 85209

Description

Two large female dogs, approximately 80 pounds each, found together near Southern Avenue and Sossaman Road in Mesa, Arizona, on November 7, 2026. Female #1: Short tan coat, large upright ears, black muzzle, and distinctive eyes—one blue and one brown. Female #2: Short reddish-tan coat, floppy ears, dark brown eyes, black muzzle, white chest, and long tail. Both appear healthy and well cared for. They are extremely sweet, affectionate, friendly, and comfortable around people. They appear closely bonded and have remained together since being found. Both dogs become distressed and howl continuously when their temporary caregiver leaves, even for brief periods. They are eating normally and have good appetites. Neither dog has a microchip. Their exact ages, breeds, vaccination histories, and spay status are unknown. They have been reported as found, and efforts to locate their family are ongoing. Temporary foster placement is urgently needed, preferably together.

Message from Finder

We found these two beautiful girls wandering together in Mesa on November 7, and we’ve been doing everything we can to find their family. They’re both incredibly sweet, affectionate, and friendly. They appear to be very attached to each other, and we’re hoping to keep them together. Unfortunately, we already have four dogs of our own, and they aren’t getting along with the girls. We’ve had to keep everyone separated, which has become increasingly difficult. We’ve had them checked for microchips, reported them as found, posted on social media, and contacted numerous rescues. So far, we haven’t been able to find anyone who can take them. We really don’t want to put them in an overcrowded shelter where they may be frightened or separated. We’re hoping someone can help us find a safe temporary foster home while we continue looking for their family. We can only keep them a little longer, and we’d be incredibly grateful for any help, referrals, or connections to someone who could take both girls together. Thank you so much! Jen
