My story

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

Meet Zeke and Ziggy! This bonded pair of handsome boys are approximately 6-1/2 years old and about 15 pounds each. They are Chihuahua blends who joined us recently from the Humane Society of Yuma. They are in search of a home that will open their hearts to both boys, as they definitely need to stay together. Zeke and Ziggy have brought us so much joy during their time in foster care. It's clear they share a strong bond as they enjoy spending every moment together. Zeke has mastered potty training, and Ziggy is almost there. They are friendly and enjoy meeting new people, greeting them warmly before returning to their favorite spot on their bed. They are improving on walks, though their leashes sometimes get tangled due to their excitement about being outside. They are incredibly curious about everything but don't bark at people or other dogs during walks. At night, they sleep peacefully together in their kennel and wake up refreshed in the morning. They adore being close to their foster parents and happily follow them around the house. Zeke and Ziggy will make wonderful, loving companions. If there will be children in their new home, they should be older children 12+ since they can startle easily. If you would like to set up a meet and greet with the boys, please email debbie@azfriends.org. Zeke and Ziggy are neutered, licensed, microchipped and current on vaccines and their adoption fee is $200 for both boys.




Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form before emailing. 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.

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).

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

No appointments necessary, just come and see us. For animals in foster homes, adoption counselors will provide additional information.

2.

Meet the Pet

We do require a consultation form that can be filled out at our adoption center or online prior to coming - helps ensure a good match!

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

We require intros with all family members and dogs (if adopting a dog), then if all goes well and it's a good match we'll move forward!

4.

Take the Pet Home

Contract is signed, everyone has met, and the dog or cat goes home!

Additional adoption info

All potential adoptive homes must complete the adoption consultation form. All adoptive parents must agree to terms of the adoption contract which will be reviewed at the time of adoption. Dog adoptions are typically $350-$495 (depending on age, breed, etc) and cat adoptions start at $175.00 for adults and $225 for kittens (also depend on age). Senior animals are always lower adoption fees. All animals have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Cats have also been FeLV/FIV tested. Dogs are also licensed per county law.

Many of our dogs are adopted very quickly, so if you see someone you are interested in, come on down - don't wait for an email response! Since an animal's personality is so much more than a photo, we prefer to give detailed info in person. Note that for any dog or cat that will have more than one family interested when they are ready for adoption, we will hold a lottery BUT only those who have spoken with an adoption counselor prior (to ensure a good match for the animal and the family) will be included in the lottery.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Friends for Life Animal Rescue Adoption Center is located at 952 W Melody Avenue in Gilbert. Our are:

Tuesday and Friday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday 3 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Saturday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

We are closed Sunday and Monday. If you see a dog or cat you are interested in, come and talk with one of our adoption counselors. If you choose to email, please allow 24-48 hours for a response as we are all volunteers. Often the animals in our care are adopted quickly, so we would recommend saving time (and possibly missing out) and coming to our adoption center vs. waiting for a response. Unless a family has spoken with an adoption counselor, there isn't much different info that would be shared compared to what is on our website. Plus, we'd love to meet you!
