My story

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

Saturn is a one-year-old, 24-pound Chihuahua mix who’s searching for a patient adopter to help him feel safe and secure in the world. Currently a bit overwhelmed by his surroundings, Saturn thrives in calm, quiet environments where he can build trust at his own pace. He appreciates gentle movements and prefers being approached from the side.

Though he’s wary of other dogs and busy settings, Saturn shows a softer side in peaceful spaces. If you sit on the ground and give him time, he’ll gather his courage and come closer. While he might stiffen up initially when touched, he soon inches forward, asking for more affection. Sudden movements, such as standing quickly, can intimidate him, but he’s a curious boy who enjoys sniffing and exploring once he feels comfortable.

Saturn will need time and patience to decompress in a new home, but for those willing to go at his pace, he’ll reward them with loyal companionship. His adoption fee of $225 includes essential services such as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital.

If you’re ready to offer Saturn a loving and steady home, schedule an appointment during adoption hours, Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, by calling 602-971-1334. Saturn is waiting to be your gentle, devoted friend.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Home Fur Good has trained adoption counselors to review and question any potential problems/issues with application. We do require an adoption fee which ranges for dogs $150-$300 and for cats $50-$100. All cats and dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and vet checked.
If another dog or dogs are present in the household we require a meet and greet prior to adoption. All members of the household must be on board with adoption. We do not adopt our rescues out without meeting person that will be responsible - no "gift" adoptions. We contract that if cat/dog must be relinquished they are returned to us. If there is a change of ownership we must be kept informed who responsible party is. Fees are non refundable.

More about this rescue

Home Fur Good is a non profit no kill animal shelter located in the NE Valley. We take a majority of our cats and dogs from County, many who have treatable medical conditions and would otherwise be put down. We assess physical and behavior and work with the cats/dogs to find the best suitable match. It is our goal that each cat or dog that comes to our shelter ultimately be placed in their "furever" homes.

We also operate a low cost vaccine and microchip clinic each Sunday. We want to help community be able to care for and keep their animals safe. We do not charge vet fee only fee for vaccine and microchip. Additionally we have a low cost dental clinic each Wednesday. Check our website for more details.
