Story
Champ is a 1-year-old, 15-pound Dachshund blend with a playful personality that's just waiting to shine. He recently joined Friends for Life and is ready to find a forever family that will help him build confidence and discover just how wonderful life can be.Champ has a fun-loving, happy personality that especially lights up around other dogs! He loves having canine friends to play with. If you have a playful resident dog looking for a buddy, Champ just might be the perfect match!This handsome young guy also enjoys toys and is always up for a game. Like many young dogs, he's still learning his manners and can be a little enthusiastic around food when other dogs are nearby, but he responds well to gentle guidance and redirection.Champ is also working on his leash skills and will benefit from a patient family committed to helping him gain confidence and learn that walks are one of life's greatest adventures. With positive reinforcement and consistency, he'll be well on his way.If you're looking for a sweet, playful companion who blossoms outside the shelter environment and is ready to become your new best friend, Champ may be the one you've been waiting for.To get started in the process of meeting Champ, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center to meet with one of our adoption counselors. No appointments are necessary and you can come and see us any time we are open. Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form then come and see us! We do require any family interested in meeting our dogs or cats to fill out a consultation form – this form helps us determine if the dog/cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo, without knowing the personality of the animal. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see us (or come and see us and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!Please note that ALL dogs and cats are available to the first home that meets the dog or cat that we feel is a good match. In the event there is more than one home interested in the same animal, a lottery may be held that will include all families that are at our adoption center at the time we open the day the animal becomes available. In order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member. Our adoption center hours are: Closed Sunday/Monday; Tuesday 10a-2p, Wednesday 3p-7p, Thursday 3p-7p, Friday 10a-2p, Saturday 10a-4p. We are located at 952 W Melody Avenue in Gilbert (zip code 85233).All animals are altered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, licensed (dogs). Cats tested for FELV/FIV. Dogs tested for Heartworm. All animals are available to the first family that is a good match, and if we have more than one animal who is a good match, there will be a lottery for all matches. Note that families must have come in to our adoption center and spoken with an adoption counselor prior to any lottery (when we have lotteries, they usually occur on Saturday mornings).
