Kylee is a little 10 pound Terrier blend, about 8-9 years old, who was returned to us when her owner passed away. Kylee's ideal home is a home with a yard - she loves sleeping in bed with her foster family, and stretching out on the couch, but she's a little shy of new places so a home with a yard for her to relieve herself until she's comfortable would be less scarier than walks on unfamiliar streets (but getting better in new situations every day!). She does not enjoy being picked up, but follows foster mom around the house. Her ideal home is one that will let her settle in and let her be who she is and not try to force her to be someone she isn't. Kylee has also learned the dog door and as long as she's reminded to "outside potty", she's doing great with her housetraining! Her foster mom says she gets the zoomies and will run around the house! She's living in a foster home and will be available by appointment to meet - you can email Debbie@azfriends.org.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).

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.

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!
