Story
Meet Bailey! Bailey is around 2-3 years old and maybe a Maltese/terrier  mix with the cutest little bounce in her step. She is great with  other dogs and adores “her person.” She is definitely a Velcro dog who will cuddle up with you all day if you let her. She’ll happily follow you from room to room, always ready to be part of whatever you’re doing. She just overall is a sweetheart. Her adoption fee is $600 and that includes her spay, vaccines, microchip and 30 days free pet insurance. To meet her text 480-718-1312. February 22, 2026, 3:01 pm

Story
Byanca is a 10 year old, 8-9 pound Maltese blend who joined us recently from a county facility. She is the life of the party and wants to meet everyone! She is very easy to handle, and is generous with kisses and snuggles. She will cuddle on the couch all day, if you'll allow her! She enjoys being picked up, and is not reactive around other dogs. She is living in one of our amazing foster homes. If you would like to meet Byanca, please email Debbie@AzFriends.orgNo 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 dog. 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 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).

Story
Chesty was raised with an older couple. We believe he is anywhere between 7-10 years old. One of his owners passed away 2 years ago and now the 2nd owner sadly is having to move into a group home. Chesty is very loyal and a protective conpanion. I do believe he is slightly hearing impaired. Unfortunately, he is not well potty trained but with the right household and owner he can be. Once he gets to know you he loves to be pet but not held and carried from my observation. This too can change because he commonly sat in my mother inlaws lap but she was unable to pet him due to her many ailments. It is unfortunate we need to move quickly to place him in a loving home. We have no other options at this time :( Thank you for your consideration.
