My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY POST

 

My name is Angel. I am a 10 years young and healthy girl who needs a furever home. My owner and I were homeless for 10 years. He died and I got abandoned on the streets months ago. I was microchipped by my caring friend Bob 8 years ago just in case I ever got lost. He found me!!! 

Bob would love to be my new person but is unable to care for me. I am an energetic girl who loves to play with tennis balls and toys and given the chance will splash around in a shallow pool. I walk well on a leash and am potty trained. I would love a comfy dog bed or chair that I can call my own.  

I show love by giving kisses and hugs but sometimes I get so excited I may nip when giving kisses. I sometimes get afraid around a new person and might nip at them if they hover over me or their face gets too close to mine. I just need a bit of time to wram up to people and you will love me. I really am a nice girl. I just need someone to work with me on my manners. I also have some separation anxiety and do not like crates. 

I was spayed 8 years ago and got all my vaccinations recently. Bob has spent over $1000 on me already with this and boarding. He is asking just $150 for a rehoming fee to make sure I go to a new safe home or foster home. Bob will ask to see where I would be living to make sure I am safe. I appear to get along with other dogs, cats I have not encountered. I need a home environment and people interaction so that I can adapt to living in a home instead of on the streets. Please help me find a home. 

If you can be Angel’s Angel and provide this deserving girl a furever home please fill out an application* at: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ . Or you can call/text email Bob at 602-578-9949. His email is RCvanriper@gmail.com .

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoptions can be arranged by appointment or our dogs can be met on the first Saturday of the month at Petsmart, Desert Ridge Noon to 3:00 PM.
