Josie's Story...
This is what Josie's foster mom says about her. Josie has had puppies before and seems to have a motherly instinct. She is very calm and loving around my 3 year-old son. We feel that she would do great with a family that has children. She LOVES to play with stuffed toys and runs around with them in her mouth. She is fully house trained- She hasn't had any accidents and appears to be housetrained. She is great with other dogs! She loves to play and would really like to have another dog to wrestle and play tug of war with. We have three other dogs of all different sizes and they have a great time together. She shares her food nicely. No aggression, she just likes to play keep away with her toys. Josie stays in a gated bathroom while we are at work. There is no trouble with barking or destructive behavior while humans are absent. She just waits patiently for mama to come home. She knows how to sit and wants to please her person. This will be a very easy dog to train. We are currently working on lay down. Josie would be at her best in a semi-active home with another dog.

About Our Rescue Group...
The Director started it all by volunteering at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control as an adoption counselor. She then went on to fostering for them as well. After networking with many people and the encouragement of her family, she retired from the teaching field in May 2010 and started AZ Furry Friends Rescue Foundation. Her daughter-in-law jumped on board and the two of them run the Rescue. Over the course of a year and a half, they have taken on volunteers and foster parents, and they couldn't have grown without them!
AZ Furry Friends Rescue is a New Hope Partner with MCACC and a Rescue Partner with Arizona Humane Society. It is a goal in the near future to also be a member of PAC911. Our long term goals include sponsoring a feral colony, set up a community spay/neuter program and have a facility.
We do this for the love of cats and dogs, and to bring people and pets together.

Our Adoption Process...
Whether from the foster's home, or at an adoption event these are the steps we take:
Dogs: If the adopter has a dog and is looking for a companion, we require them to bring their dog for a meet and greet. If the dogs get along, and the people decide this is the dog for them, or they are getting their first dog, there is a two page questionnaire they fill out. If the answers satisfy our criteria, we proceed with the adoption agreement. The fees for dogs is $180 and it includes the sterilization, shots, microchip,one month of pet health insurance.
Cats: We encourage the potential adopter to interact with the cat as long as they want (and as long as the cat permits). During that time, the discussion of declawing versus clipping nails is brought up, and we educate people about declawing and offer alternative methods of keeping kitty from destroying their furniture. If the adopter have decided on adopting a cat, there is a two page questionnaire they fill out. If the answers satisfy our criteria, we proceed with the adoption agreement. The fees for cats are $100. The fee includes sterilization, shots, microchip, one month of pet health insurance, the Felv/FIV/Heartworm test as well as the adoption fee.
