seraphine

Seraphine is a sweet, 4-year-old, 31-pound Shiba Inu blend with a gentle heart and a curious mind. She can be shy in new situations, but with a little patience and a steady routine, she blossoms.She knows basic commands like “sit,” is house trained, dog-door trained, and very food motivated. She may occasionally develop selective hearing when treats are nearby, but she takes rewards very gently and is eager to learn.Seraphine loves chew toys, stuffed animals, and especially water play. Hoses, splash pads, and kiddie pools are her idea of a perfect day. Her foster home has been helping her practice car rides and leash walking, and she is making great progress.Because she gains confidence from other dogs, Seraphine will need a canine sibling in her forever home. She is a bright, inquisitive girl ready for a patient family who will help her feel safe, loved, and at home.To get started in the process for meeting Seraphine, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, then come by the Adoption Center to meet with an adoption counselor.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).
