Shelter FAQs
Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a registered nonprofit, volunteer-based, no-kill organization. Started in 1993 Friends for Life maintains an adoption center for it's rescued animals, a low-cost spay and neuter program (grant-funded), and a network of foster homes. Friends for Life also attends off-site locations to adopt the homeless cats and dogs and the organization is always looking for help. Friends for Life does not have a veterinarian on site or on staff. We utilize discounted services of veterinarians kind enough to do so for our rescued animals.
Statewide, but focusing on east and west valley near Phoenix and surrounding cities
Adoption steps
- Visit the Facility and Find a PetNo appointments necessary, just come and see us. For animals in foster homes, adoption counselors will provide additional information.
- Meet the PetWe do require a consultation form that can be filled out at our adoption center or online prior to coming - helps ensure a good match!
- Sign Adoption ContractWe require intros with all family members and dogs (if adopting a dog), then if all goes well and it's a good match we'll move forward!
- Take the Pet HomeContract is signed, everyone has met, and the dog or cat goes home!
Additional adoption info
All potential adoptive homes must complete the adoption consultation form. All adoptive parents must agree to terms of the adoption contract which will be reviewed at the time of adoption. Dog adoptions are typically $350-$495 (depending on age, breed, etc) and cat adoptions start at $175.00 for adults and $225 for kittens (also depend on age). Senior animals are always lower adoption fees. All animals have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Cats have also been FeLV/FIV tested. Dogs are also licensed per county law.
Many of our dogs are adopted very quickly, so if you see someone you are interested in, come on down - don't wait for an email response! Since an animal's personality is so much more than a photo, we prefer to give detailed info in person. Note that for any dog or cat that will have more than one family interested when they are ready for adoption, we will hold a lottery BUT only those who have spoken with an adoption counselor prior (to ensure a good match for the animal and the family) will be included in the lottery.
