FAQ
Where do these dogs come from?
Many of the dogs have come off of the euthanasia list at different animal control centers in Arizona. We also have dogs that were abandoned or surrendered by their owners.Are the dogs healthy?
We evaluate each and every dog when they arrive at our rescue. We treat any health issues they may have and vaccinate all of them. All dogs are spayed/neutered, have all of their vaccines, and are micro-chipped. All dogs have been seen by a vet before they are adopted.I can get a dog for free on Craigslist.com, why should I pay you an adoption fee?
Our adoption fees help keep the rescue going so that we can save more dogs. Unlike strangers on the internet, we care about the welfare of our dogs and the families who adopt them. Therefore, we will always be upfront about any issues they might have and take special care to match each dog with the most compatible family. It's a win-win situation for our dogs and our adopters.Do you have to visit my home?
We exert our best efforts to ensure a perfect match between the dog and the applicants. Home visits prior to adoption are required and will be arranged after a completed application has been approved by our adoption committee. In some cases, the dog will accompany our home inspection team to meet the applicant. We honor any clearly expressed preference the dog may have for one family over another, all other things being equal. If all goes well, an adoption may be awarded at the time of the introduction.I live out of state, can I adopt one of your dogs?
We try to conduct only instate adoptions and much prefer Maricopa
County; however, we have, when it was the most perfect match, adopted
some of our most beloved rescued doggies to folks residing in more
distant AZ counties.
We will never ship a dog anywhere, so please do not ask.All other questions can be emailed to: cutestuffanimalrescue@gmail.com
