About Whiskey

**URGENT! WHISKEY IS ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST! DEADLINE NOVEMBER 9 AT 4 PM OR HE WILL BE EUTHANIZED!** **PLEASE CONTACT PINAL COUNTY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL DIRECTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION!** **EMAIL: [email protected] (BEST WAY TO CONTACT)** **PHONE: 520-509-3555 (Phones are not answered on weekends)** **BETTER YET, GO MEET WHISKEY IN PERSON BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!** Meet Whiskey (A283323), a handsome 1-year, 5-month-old, neutered Queensland Heeler mix who has been waiting at Pinal County Animal Care and Control since January 2026. **Whiskey has spent nearly his entire puppyhood growing up in a shelter kennel, and now his life is on the line.** Whiskey arrived as a happy, energetic 8-month-old puppy. Instead of growing up in a loving home, he has spent month after month behind kennel doors. The stress of shelter life has taken a heartbreaking toll on his confidence. He now sometimes cowers, hides, and trembles in his kennel environment. But outside the kennel, volunteers see a completely different dog! Whiskey is loving, playful, eager to please, and full of personality. **Here's what makes Whiskey special:** - Reportedly housebroken, doggy-door trained, and crate trained - Loves playing fetch with tennis balls - Enjoys splashing around in water - Rides wonderfully in the car - Walks politely on a leash - Takes treats gently - Has participated in doggie playgroups and enjoys making dog friends - Playful, affectionate, and eager to learn Whiskey needs a patient, understanding home where he can decompress, rebuild his confidence, and finally feel safe. **Important things to know:** Whiskey has shown prey drive toward cats, rabbits, and small dogs, so he needs a home without small animals. His previous owner reported that he could be hesitant and defensive around unfamiliar adult men. Slow introductions and patience will be important. A meet and greet is recommended if you have another dog. **Whiskey is not a bad dog. He is a young dog who has spent far too much of his life in a stressful shelter environment.** He deserves the chance to experience a real home, a comfortable bed, toys of his own, and someone who will give him the time and patience he needs to blossom. **PLEASE DON'T LET WHISKEY LOSE HIS LIFE BEFORE HE EVER GETS THE CHANCE TO TRULY LIVE!** **NOVEMBER 9 AT 4 PM IS HIS DEADLINE! ADOPTION OR RESCUE NEEDED URGENTLY!** **Pinal County Animal Care and Control** 1150 S. Eleven Mile Corner Rd. Casa Grande, AZ 85194 Shelter Hours: Monday through Friday: 10 AM to 6 PM Saturday and Sunday: 10 AM to 4 PM
