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. 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 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).

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 :)

Story
Hi, I'm Tinka, a beautiful 1 year-old white Maltese Poodle Mix who's ready to steal your heart! I’m not tiny I’m actually kind of “medium” size being about 18 Lbs. I'm affectionate and friendly, and I love being close to the people I care about — loyalty is my middle name. As a smart girl, I pick things up quickly and I'm eager to please. I am a bit fearful of new people and a bit more of men but I do warm up and am an angel once I get to know you. Come meet me soon and let's start our adventure together! 🐾 Like many of our rescue dogs, we are not sure how well housetrained Tinka is. But with gentle persuasion, some consistency, structure and praise she should be easy to train. Tinka is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming. Adoption fee $450 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue! If you would like to be considered to for this adoption or any of our amazing rescues, please fill out the application with the help of this link. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AZST/Dog.

Story
Meet Newt, a sweet and playful 10-month-old purebred Japanese Chin who is ready to find her forever home. She is a friendly and affectionate pup with a massive heart who loves being close to her people. Newt is great with children and has never shown a hint of hostility toward her current dog housemate. She is up to date on her vet care, recently spayed, and is kennel trained, resting quietly and comfortably in her crate at night and when you’re out. She only barks at the doorbell or front door being opened, While she has a heart of gold, she is currently behind on potty training and struggles with indoor accidents - so she is looking for a patient, dedicated owner who is willing to provide a consistent daily routine to help her master potty training. She will be an incredibly loyal and loving addition to your home. Newt is purebred and comes with documentation.We spent a lot of $ purchasing Newt & want to keep her, but our 7 y/o Lhasa apso refuses to accept a second dog in the house.
