Don't be fooled by her picture...Nellie is only 24 pounds! Nellie is a 4 year old, chihuahua mix breed girl who joined us recently from Yuma. What a journey this sweet, resilient girl with a heart of gold has had. When she arrived to Friends for Life, she could only open her jaw 1 cm due to an old injury that had fused her jaw shut. She has undergone surgery that repaired the damage and although she has some limitations, she's enjoying the life of a normal dog! She is an active girl who enjoys long walks, and hikes, and embraces adventure with enthusiasm! She's a loyal girl who wants to be near her humans, and she also gets along well with other canine friends. She enjoys squeaky toys, and soaking up the sun. Nellie is residing with one of our amazing foster homes and will be at the adoption center on Saturdays from 10am-4pm. You may also email Debbie@AzFriends.org to arrange a weekday meeting.No 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 animal. 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).
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nellie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
