Sparks Chihuahua & Shepherd Mix Gilbert, AZ

Sparks is a fun little 3 year old, 8 pound Chihuahua who joined us recently from Yuma. He loves his humans, is very affectionate, and maintains good eye contact with his handler. He enjoys some cuddle time and being in your lap, but his real passion is squeaky toys, particularly if it involves a good game of fetch! He has good leash manners, and is working with volunteers and quickly learning basic commands. He is residing in one of our foster homes, and will be at the adoption center on Saturdays from 10am-4pm. You may also email Debbie@AzFriends.org to inquire about 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 dog. 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.
