My story

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

Hey you!! I'm Pimenta and I'm a little girl, but my heart is big, big, BIG! I LOVE being held and talked to. I enjoy playing with other smaller or medium-sized dogs and I especially love human kids! They seem to love me too. I dunno why. Maybe it is because I’m a tiny girl at only 11 pounds or because my fur is soft like a chinchilla. Sometimes they call me a chinchihuahua lol! I came to Help a Dog Smile with four baby puppies. I did not have the most pampered life before, so I was grateful these kind people took me in, helped me raise my puppies and helped me get some vet care that I needed. I feel great now and I’m a spunky but also mellow girl. I would fit in well with almost any pack and would love to have a furever home with at least one other dog. I am fairly low maintenance, and you may not even notice me sometimes because I curl up in a little ball and love to take naps through the day. I enjoy walks, playtime, and treats. I know how to use a dog door and eat only the tiniest amount of food twice a day. I would make a great addition to any family. I'm up to date on shots, spayed, dewormed, and microchipped! And I'm looking for my forever family...I'm not disposable for any reason like marriage, divorce, moving, babies...ANY reason whatsoever! If you are interested in making me a permanent member of your family, please fill out our online application: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adopt/. My adoption fee is $350.

*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.

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.
