Story
We adopted Duke from the local animal shelter in Feb 2024. We have two young children and he is a very active dog, unfortunately he requires too much attention than what we can give him right now. He is a very sweet boy, and is wonderful with my children. He is not good with other dogs, but I believe he can be trained out of that behavior. He requires daily exercise or he has a tendency to be destructive. He does well in a crate, we always kept him in one when we left the home. He also used a doggy door, but does ok without one. Duke is a happy, loving boy who only wants love, snuggles, and play time! I know he would be an incredible pet for someone who can give him the time and attention he deserves.

Story
Bryce is an amazing dog, loves to play and gets really excited to see people, he is good with other dogs. Our other dogs are not good with him. We took him in a few months back so that he wouldn’t get euthanized and thought that we could have them get along. Unfortunately, we have to keep him seperate from them due to dog fights. He is a very caring dog and is even good around puppies.

Story
You may recognize Dunphy as a television celebrity. Dunphy is an 18 month old handsome, friendly, intelligent guy who arrived to us as a stray. Upon rescue, we quickly realized he had double hip dysplasia. He has successfully had one hip repaired and rehabilitated and is getting ready for the surgery on his second hip. Dunphy was the beneficiary of our January Yard Sale, and Holly Bock with 3TV attended the event and spent four hours showcasing Dunphy, while he was still recovering from the first surgery. In the meantime, he is residing with our incredible foster homes who have been caring for him. You may schedule an appointment to meet Dunphy by emailing 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
I`m a big scaredy cat who needs some time and patience for me to come out of my shell. Once I`m comfortable though, I`m a wiggly and affectionate guy who loves to play!Loud noises and fast movements scare me, so I would do best in a quieter home without young children, though I may like to play with older kids (once I`m comfortable, of course). I`ll need to meet all members of the household before adoption, so I can get used to everyone. I`m still working on my leash skills, and while I`ve made great progress at the shelter, I`ll need my own fenced in yard where I can confidently go outside and do my business--or even play!I`ve lived with other dogs before, and while new dogs can make me nervous at first, I may be okay with a doggie friend after a slow introduction, so I`ll need to meet all other dogs in the household before adoption.

Story
This sweetheart`s owner could no longer keep him so he`s here looking for a new family.He`s a calm, friendly and obedient guy. He`s lived with dogs and kids. He`s crate trained, house broken and travels well in the car. Like most Huskies, he loves to talk and sing. He`s a good jumper and you`ll need tall fence to keep him in the yard. Also, he likes to chase cats!If you have other dogs we`ll need to do a meet and greet before adoption. Please ask to meet me outside.
