Raffy

My story

Raffy is a 1-year-old, 15-pound Terrier blend with a heart full of love and one very important qualification—he's an A+ cuddler! This sweet young boy recently joined Friends for Life and is on the lookout for a forever lap to call his own.Raffy can be a little anxious when faced with new experiences, so he'll appreciate a patient family that will help him build confidence at his own pace. The good news is that he already has a wonderful foundation—he checks in frequently with his handler, comes when called, and enjoys staying close to his people. Those qualities will make training and bonding even more rewarding.He's still learning that car rides and walks on a leash can be fun, so he'll benefit from positive, gentle introductions to both. With encouragement and consistency, Raffy is sure to grow more comfortable as he explores the world alongside his new family.One of Raffy's adorable quirks is that he likes to hide his treats for later, just in case he needs a snack another day! It's just one more charming trait that makes him such a lovable little character.If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to snuggle close, earn your trust, and become your shadow, Raffy may be the perfect addition to your family.To get started in the process of meeting Raffy, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center to meet with one of our adoption counselors. 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 the event there is more than one home interested in the same animal, a lottery may be held that will include all families that are at our adoption center at the time we open the day the animal becomes available. 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 Raffy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
