My story

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

Hey there, I'm Balto!

Looking for an active puppy to do everything with from playing with toys, going on runs, and adventures? Then I may be the one for you! I'm an energetic pup, so like any other adolescent, I will require lots of training, exercise, and mental stimulation to help me grow up into the best adult dog ever! I'm very smart and eager to learn anything you will teach me! I would prefer my new home to be with adults only! I really enjoy playing with other dogs who can match my energy, but I'll need to meet any potential furry siblings to make sure we are a good match. I can't wait! Come meet me today!

No appointment necessary!

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
