Our Story
Smiling Dog Rescue began in January 2007 when a compassionate individual intervened to save a smiling pit bull from euthanasia at a Southern Arizona kill shelter. This pivotal moment ignited a mission to rescue and rehabilitate pit bulls and other dogs facing similar fates. Since then, Smiling Dog Rescue has successfully re-homed over 4,000 unwanted, stray, and abandoned dogs, significantly impacting the lives of countless animals in Tucson and surrounding areas.
