Meet MitzyName: MitzyAge: 7.5 yearsSex: FBreed: Pit/Shar pei mixWeight: 55 lbsEnergy level: 2/10Compatibility with other dogs: GreatCompatibility with cats: No, high prey driveCompatibility with kids: GreatRequirements: No cats/ small animals such as ferrets, rabbitsCrate trained: YesHouse trained: YesShe is a very quiet dog. Would do great in a small living area but doesn't have to be. She does well on the leash and is learning new tricks daily. She is not a water dog, no interest in the pool at all. She does not get on any furniture, even though she sees my dog on the couch, she is perfectly happy sleeping on the floor. She likes chewing on a bones from time to time, other than that she is a very low maintenance dog.If you’re looking for a low energy, very kind dog, this is your girl!She is super easy going! Gets along fabulously with other dogs! She is also amazing around children as well! No cats can be in a home with her, she has a high drive to chase them!When I first got her, she did not get on furniture but she does now! I think that’s because she likes to lie near my dog or me. The great thing is about that is she barely sheds!She is house-trained and does well on the leash.

Mae will be available to meet and potentially adopt (pending foster's availability) on Saturday, September 16th at our Petsmart location (857 N Val Vista Drive, Gilbert) until adopted. The adoption event starts at Noon and goes until 3:00 Meet MaeMy oh Mae! 💜 This girl has quite the personality and is so excited to find her furever home. Here’s some things you should know:-I need someone who will always make room for me and snuggle, I love affection. ❤-I am fully potty trained and love to sit for a treat! I am very willing to learn many new tricks. 🚽 -I am about a year old and most of my puppy energy is gone, occasionally I get the zoomies but I’m perfectly content chewing on a Nyla bone or throwing a toy around with my person. 🦴 -I enjoy dog friends of all sizes, I currently love playing tag with my foster brother chihuahua. 🐶-I haven’t been around children but I don’t always know my size and might not be compatible for small kiddos. 👶-I currently bark at cats so they might not be for me. 🐱 -I love to make little snorts and growls when I get excited, I’m sorta a goofball. 🐷🤪

Story
Love Bug is a 3 year old Pit blend, about 68 pounds. She was adopted but returned recently due to family circumstances beyond her control. Her family said she's perfect and is active and responds well to training. She is very sweet and affectionate and has mistaken herself for a lap dog. Lovebug knows basic commands, such as sit. She is working on her leash manners and walks best in a front-clip harness to minimize pulling. She enjoys playing with toys and will run around with them in her mouth. She'll do best in a home with kids 5+. If you would like to meet Love Bug, 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
Meet the great Raja! What is Raj great at you ask? Well, he’s the best couch potato in the house. He also loves to snuggle, cuddle, or just be near his humans. He listens well and just wants to love and be loved. He’s a medium-sized 50lb goofball with a sweet and gentle personality. We are unsure of his age as he was a stray when he came to us, but we guess he's between 3 and 5 years old. He likes short to medium-length walks but would need more cardio for longer walks or for hikes. Raj appears to be good with adults and children over 8 yrs old however we have not seen him interact with toddlers. He is also good with other medium size or above dogs but will avoid overly excited dogs. Unfortunately, he does like to chase cats. We do not recommend him for a home that has toddlers, small dogs, or cats. Raj is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and knows basic commands like sit, down and stay. Raj is currently being cared for in central Phoenix but they are willing to travel for meet and greets anywhere in the greater Phoenix area. If you would like to meet this sweet boy, please email BICKLEKT@GMAIL.COM or DAVEPROCHAZKA@GMAIL.COM Raja is a courtesy post through Valley Dogs Rescue.

Meet Lola...she wondered on to a business in Phoenix and attempts to locate her owners were unsuccessful. Lola is currently living at a recycling plant where she is getting all the love she deserves from allll the employees that work there.  Lola is now all vetted and is looking for a home of her very own. She is housebroken and as you can see, she does love her couch. Her big disadvantage… She cannot be around other animals. Can you blame her? She wants all the attention! She is extremely loving, flips over to have her belly rubbed at regular intervals. She loves kids and truly loves humans. We would love to find her the right home where she can enjoy life and be spoiled. Lola is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and ready to settle on your couch! Plenty of dogs are single dog households, don’t let that scare u. She truly is a love bug. Fill out an app at backthebluepetrescue.org October 2, 2023, 10:23 am

Story
Meet Ms. Suzie!! Suzie was rescued from the reservation during a public event where stray animals were being spayed and neutered. Suzie was too special to be left behind and was brought back down to the valley in hopes of finding a forever home. Suzie was a stray and has never been in a home, that we know of, but LOVES people. She has been around kids as young as 12-years-old. She is very energetic and gets the zoomies (which we find quite cute). Suzie is currently in a boarding facility and is crated most of the day besides a couple of breaks she is given. She is used to sleeping in a crate, but does not want to be in it all day long. She will be attending a two week board and train program where she will learn basic obedience and manners to help her find her forever home.  Suzie likes to chase the kitty cats, so we don't suggest a home with them. She has played with other dogs, but can be too much for dogs who like to chill. She just wants to play and play. A meet and greet with other dogs in the home is a must. She would like a home where she gets daily exercise and brain stimulation to prevent her from becoming bored. Suzie truly is a sweet dog that deserves a chance at a home of her own.  Suzie is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. An application must be filled out at backthebluepetrescue.org, followed by a meet/greet and home check. Please consider Suzie or at least share her with your friends and family. October 2, 2023, 10:23 am
