Story
Snowball is an adorable 11-year-old, 18 lb, Maltese/Terrier blend who recently returned to us after her owner could no longer care for her. This sweet senior girl is now hoping to find a loving forever home where she can enjoy comfort, companionship, and plenty of cozy nights.Since her previous adoption, Snowball had to have one of her eyes removed due to glaucoma, but that certainly hasn’t stopped her from enjoying life and soaking up love from her people. She’s a calm, well-mannered companion who enjoys simply being near her humans. In her former home, she slept on the bed at night and loved relaxing while watching TV with her family.Snowball doesn’t seem too interested in toys, but she makes up for it with her sweet personality and easygoing nature. She is housetrained and does well when left alone, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle, low-key best friend.If you have room in your heart and home for a loving senior pup, Snowball would love to meet you.To get started in the process of meeting Snowball, 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.

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 order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member.

Story
Dexter is a rescue and has been with us for six years. He is still a bit skittish he likes attention, but doesn’t love to be held. He was house trained, but since we have an older dog, who is having difficulty getting out of the doggie door to go he has followed suit and started going in the house. With training He should be fine going outside. He likes to play with other dogs and has never bitten or been aggressive at all. We just need to rehome him because we have three dogs in total and it is getting to be too much since my husband passed away.

This is Pluto! He is unbelievably cute and happy all the time. He is great with cats, people, and dogs! He is so happy to be out and about and loves going on car rides and hikes. I would love to keep him but with my work schedule it just doesn’t quite work out for me. He is crate and potty trained. If you are looking for a happy and excited buddy to have with you all the time then he’s the good boy for you :)
