My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gia the gorgeous shepherd! There is a whole lot of love in her 50-lb body. Gia is a happy, wiggly girl who loves to play with toys and give hugs and kisses. She is guessed to be around 3 y/o but acts like a big ol’ puppy. She is very friendly meeting people of all ages and adores attention. Gia must be the only pet in the household. We are also working with Gia on her leash manners. She is a smart girl and we know she’ll catch on quickly. Gia is looking for an active family who will train her and love her for the rest of her years.

Gia’s adoption fee of $350 helps offset the cost of medical expenses, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, and microchip. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.

Adoptions can be arranged by appointment or our dogs can be met on the first Saturday of the month at Petsmart, Desert Ridge Noon to 3:00 PM.
