Rusty (knows Butters)

My story

Rusty originally joined us when he was about 3 months old (so we have his puppy pictures!) but was returned recently due to circumstances beyond his control. He's a little older and wiser now - he's about 5-1/2 to 6 years old and about 20 pounds. He's a friendly, easy to handle, follow your nose, kind of guy, who checks in frequently with his humans. He knows basic commands, and also happens to know the word "treat," which will prompt him to quickly run straight to his human/s, when he hears it! He's a sweet, curious little fellow, who can be cautious in unfamiliar situations. He has excellent leash and car riding manners, and we happen to know he makes an exceptional travel companion. Rusty doesn't want to share his food or toys with other dogs, so he'll do best as your only canine companion. Rusty is currently residing at the Adoption Center, and hopes to make his escape with his forever home, soon! 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 Rusty (knows Butters), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
