My story

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

Meet Nala a 6-month-old puppy Chihuahua mix  

Background: My owners could no longer care for me, but happy to know that a great rescue was able to find me a foster mom for now.

Personality: If you are looking for the perfect pup, check out my bio... I am very sweet loving little girl that will give you so much love. I love lap time, car rides, extra lovin', doing zoomies in the yard and playing with the other small dogs in my foster home. I'm a great sleeper and love to snuggle next to my foster mom at night. 

Health: Nala is up to date on all shots,  she is spayed and microchip. 

Training: Nala is housetrained, rides well in a car, and leashed trained.

Ideal Home: My perfect, forever home would be with someone home often, has another small dog to play with and a safe, secure outdoor area. Can you commit to continuing my basic training and providing me with a lifetime home for the next 15+ years?  If so, please complete an application at the rescue's website,  www.helpadogsmile.org  and my foster mom will be glad to give you a call to see if we might be a perfect match.  Thank you and woof woof! 

Adoption Requirements: Nala adoption fee is $350 If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application 

*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.
