Story
Meet Gus — aka “Chunk” — the squishy little love bug with the sweetest soul! This adorable boy is happiest when he’s with his people or snuggled up next to his sister, Winnie, who is also available for adoption. Gus is a professional cuddle expert who lives for belly rubs, cozy naps, and being as close to you as possible. And if you dare walk away? Don’t worry… Gus will absolutely let you know how he feels about it! A little more shy than his outgoing sister, Gus is slowly gaining confidence every day and becoming braver with new experiences. Built more like a tiny pug, he’s extra chunky, extra cute, and impossible not to fall in love with. Gus is very food-motivated and thrives on positive reinforcement, praise, and loving words of affirmation. He’s a gentle, affectionate little guy looking for a family that will shower him with love — and plenty of belly rubs. ** Please contact Paula at SPWHEELS1@GMAIL.COM for an adoption application.

Story
Free to a good, loving home. Chloe is 1 years old. I have had her since she left the litter. When she was 6 weeks old she was attacked by a husky and she required stitches. Since then she is afraid of that dog and has not been around any other dogs. She loves attention and to be next to her people. She loves playing with toys. Due to my health she has had minimal training. She is really smart. She was approved by Ability Dogs of Arizona for me to train her to be a service dog but I was unable to do the training due to my health. She chews my slippers because they are the same texture as her favorite toy. She also digs carpets when bored. Give her some attention and she stops the digging. The last items were included so you know that she is still needing some training and lots of love. She will come with all her toys, blanket and steps to get on the bed.

Story
Meet Dewey — The Little Guy Who Sees the World Differently Dewey is a four-year-old Pug with a story that didn’t start easy—but you’d never know it by the way he shows up every single day. He came to us from another rescue that needed support, and from the moment we met him, we knew he was something special. There’s a quiet resilience about him… the kind that doesn’t ask for attention but absolutely deserves it. A Medical Journey That Made Him Stronger At some point in Dewey’s life, he lost one of his eyes. Unfortunately, the initial procedure did not heal properly, so our veterinary team performed a corrective surgery to ensure the area was clean, comfortable, and fully closed. Today, he is healed, pain-free, and doing beautifully. His remaining eye has limited vision—he mostly sees shadows and movement—but don’t let that fool you. Dewey has adapted incredibly well. He navigates his environment with confidence, learns routines quickly, and doesn’t let his vision slow him down one bit. His Personality — Easy, Sweet, and Just Happy to Be Here Dewey is one of those dogs that just gets it. He’s easygoing, loving, and completely content being part of the pack. He enjoys hanging out with his dog friends during playtime, but he’s just as happy curling up on a cozy dog bed for a nap right next to you. When the sun hits and it gets a little warm, you’ll find him cooling off in a shallow pool like it’s his own little spa day. No drama, no chaos—just Dewey living his best life. The Everyday Stuff Dewey is potty trained and has been doing great with his routine. He used to “hike” his leg occasionally (because… pug ), but over the last few months, that behavior has really improved with consistency. He’s low maintenance, adaptable, and truly just wants a calm, loving home where he can continue to feel safe and included. His Perfect Home Dewey would thrive in a home that understands that not every dog sees the world perfectly—but that doesn’t mean they experience it any less fully. He would love another dog to hang out with, but more than anything, he just wants companionship, consistency, and a soft place to land. The Bottom Line Dewey is proof that dogs don’t need perfect circumstances to live a full, happy life. He’s already done the hard part—now he’s just waiting for someone to choose him. And trust us… once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him. Dewey is neutered, vaaccinated and microchipped, he is being fostered in Mesa, AZ. Dewey adoption donation fee is $500.00 and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

Story
Born in late March 2025, this adorable one year-old pug/chihuahua mix is already winning hearts with his cuddly charm and gentle nature.

Story
Carol is a 5 year old, 15 pound Pug blend who joined us recently and is looking for her forever home. She is a little bit shy at first but when you sit down to hang out with her, she's very loving and will shower you with kisses.To get started in the process of meeting Carol, 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).
