Sweet Pea's Story...
Hi I'm Sweet Pea! And just like my name I'm a sweatheart! I am so full of energy and very vocal when I get excited and when I meet new people. My previous mommy had to give my brother Baby Bear and I up because she couldn't care for us any more. I'm working on not going potty in the house, its really hard, but I'm getting the hang of it. My foster mommy is patient with me and brother. I know how sit pretty for a treat but that is all I know. I like to snuggle and give kisses and being up in my foster mommy's lap. My brother and I are working on being crate trained. We don't like to go in there when mommy has to go and we are super excited when she comes home! I'm good with people of all ages. My foster mommy has a little person that comes over a lot and I give him lots of kisses and he giggles! I would like to go to a new home with my brother but understand if we get separated.

Rescue Group Info...
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.
