Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Helloooo new pup parents! My name is Lockevelt!! My foster mom said I needed a unique name for the unique pup that I am. I am a big eared, high energy, squeaky boy that just wants to go exploring or be snuggled up with you. I love toys especially stuffed animals. My dream home would need to understand that I am a huge love bug that doesn't always understand new things or people and they can be scary to me. Because of this my foster mom has taught me how to channel my energy through listening to her tell me commands and I do love to learn! I know how to sit, paw, focus, down and I'm crate trained and housetrained already. My foster mom thinks it would be important for me to continue my education in training classes so we can build a great bond and I can listen well to you too. I would probably do better in a home with older children since they can understand when I'm stressed and I might even like a pup sibling, but I would have to meet them before really knowing if we could be friends. Are you interested in being my new family? Contact my foster mom at mhiggins@aawl.org

Additional adoption info
Dogs and cats available for adoption at the Arizona Animal Welfare League are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, behaviorally and medically evaluated, flea/tick preventative and 30-days free pet health insurance.
The following steps outline how the adoption process works at Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA.
* Bring the whole family – even the dog(s). We encourage dog-to-dog introductions as a part of the match-making process and may require it in most cases. We do not require the same introductions for cats.
* Upon arriving at the Pet Match Adoption Center, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and/or volunteers and asked to fill out a short Adopter Profile. This is not an application. It is a match-making tool used to help you find the best match for you and the adoptable animals.
* You will be introduced to the available dogs and/or cats with some tips for narrowing down your search to the most appropriate pets.
* Visitors can meet one-on-one with pets in our play yards. Dogs will be introduced, too.
* If your pet meet is a success, you will spend a few minutes completing some paperwork and learning about the many "extras" included with each adoption. then you and your new family member can go home and begin your "Happy Tails" life.
* We have a variable adoption fee policy based on an animal's age, breed, temperament, behavioral issues, and physical condition. Please feel free to contact us at 602-273-6852
