About: Meet Stanley, a handsome, 34-pound, 7-year-old tri-color Jack Russell Terrier mix who is looking for a dedicated, lady-led home where he can truly thrive. Stanley originally came to the shelter in February of 2024 because his owners were moving, and he was quickly adopted due to his good looks and endearing personality. Tragically, due to a sudden eviction, his new family had to bring him back to the shelter in mid-June of 2026. This wonderful boy is the ultimate combination of an adventurous companion and a total cuddle bug. His previous family raved about how much he loves going on hikes and enjoying outdoor excursions but noted that he is equally content to curl up on the couch next to you and be a perfect couch potato. Stanley is an intensely affectionate, loyal boy who loves to be right at your side, soaking up all the scratches and belly rubs you are willing to give.
While Stanley is a certified "ladies' man" who is incredibly loving, cuddly, and affectionate with women, he is not fond of men and is looking for a preferred female-only household. A female volunteer recently spent time with him in the yard and reported that he was an absolute angel, sitting right next to her, coming over for extra love the moment she sat on the ground, and staying perfectly quiet both in his kennel and out in the yard. His previous owners did note that Stanley experiences some separation anxiety, though he manages this very well with the help of Trazodone. Additionally, his family mentioned he shows signs of spine pain and sensitivity when his neck is touched, which could be related to an old injury or trauma. Our clinic is currently evaluating him to determine if there is an underlying medical issue, so his handlers will just need to be mindful and gentle around his neck area.
Because Stanley is a protective pup who will bark at strangers until he gets to know them, he needs an experienced handler who can provide structure and safety. He does have two bites on his record that potential adopters should understand. The first occurred when a dog park gate was left open and Stanley ran out, biting a passing man on the leg. The second was an accidental redirection bite to a human hand when a friend was trying to separate Stanley and a larger resident dog during an unexpected altercation. Stanley can be jealous of larger dogs when receiving human attention and has shown some resource-guarding tendencies, but he has a history of doing great with cats and smaller dogs. In our shelter playgroups, he was tolerant of other dogs, giving them appropriate, polite corrections to let them know he preferred to keep to himself.
Stanley has so much love to give and has the potential to be the most loyal, comforting companion to the right person. He would do best either as the only pet or in a home with cats or other small dogs, provided they have a careful, proper introduction to ensure everyone gets along safely. If you are looking for a handsome, active, and deeply devoted companion to share your hikes and your heart, come meet this magnificent boy today.

Adoption Process:
All interested parties must meet the dog at PACC before their deadline. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with. Once introductions are complete and if the IP has decided this dog may be a good fit, the process is as follows:
Interested parties:
• Must visit PACC before the COB MONDAY JULY 13, 2026, deadline to meet with an adoption counselor who will go over notes and introduce you to the dog.
• Are encouraged to reach out to a rescue group ASAP (even before coming to PACC), to start the rescue approval process. Please have the rescue contact PACC at PACC.UrgentDogs@pima.gov if approved to pull.
• If an IP has not already contacted a rescue, PACC will notify all partnered rescue groups of an interested party and request their assistance. Once you have come to PACC to meet with the dog and determined that you’d like to move forward, your information will be sent to partnered rescue groups. If a rescue group is interested and feels they may be able to pull, they will then reach out to IPs.

Collaboration with Rescue Groups:
• Rescue groups are encouraged to reach out to PACC immediately if they will pull this animal into their rescue (and if there are requirements: Interested adoptive party, spay/neuter if not already completed, etc.)
• Rescue groups are encouraged to start their adoption process with any interested parties who have contacted them directly and email PACC at PACC.UrgentDogs@pima.gov.
Please note that it is ultimately up to the rescue group's discretion to decide whether to proceed with adoption.

HOME MANAGEMENT PLAN:


Bite History:
• Incident Details: minor bite- gate at dog park was left open, ran out and bit man that was passing by.

Bite History:
• Incident Details: Stanley was staying at a friends and being kept separated from other larger dog, dogs got into an altercation and victim was bitten on the hand.
Dog Introduction Required:
• Reason: selective with larger dogs, seen in previous home.
• Slow, Structured Introductions: Introductions must be gradual and carefully managed in neutral territory. Monitor all body language closely and end sessions on a positive note.
• Muzzle Training: It is recommended to condition Stanley to a comfortable basket muzzle before introductions. This provides safety and allows for positive experiences during early meetings.
• No Dog Parks: Stanley should not attend dog parks or other uncontrolled environments. These settings can overwhelm or trigger negative interactions, making progress more difficult.
• Behaviors could improve with proper management and/or professional training.
Stranger Danger: seen in home; barks at strangers, warms up quickly.
• Initial Reaction: Expect your new dog to be uncomfortable around and with new people, including yourself, until they are comfortable with you; they may bark, snap, or flee.
• Introductions: New people require a slow, controlled introduction. Muzzle training is strongly recommended to ensure safety during any necessary close-range interactions or introductions outside of the immediate family unit.
• Safe Retreat: When guests are expected, Stanley must be secured in their crate or in a safe, separate room away from the commotion and entry points of the home.
• Walks: Restrict walks to low-traffic, quiet areas where unexpected encounters with people or dogs are minimal.
• Re-Entry Management: During the first few days to weeks, they may startle, bark, snap or attempt to flee when you return home. To prevent stress or accidental escape, secure them in a crate or quiet room before leaving. This helps make door entries calm and predictable rather than frightening.
People Selective: towards men
• Stanley prefers to choose their own human friends and may not be comfortable with everyone. Always allow them to approach new people on their own terms.
• Introductions: Keep initial introductions calm, controlled, and brief. Encourage visitors to avoid direct eye contact or reaching towards them until trust is built.
• Muzzle Training
