Pets available

Adoption process

Dogs and cats available for adoption at the Arizona Animal Welfare League are: spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, behaviorally and medically evaluated, treated for fleas/ticks, and 30 days of free pet health insurance. The following steps outline how the adoption process works at Arizona Animal Welfare League. Bring the whole family - even the dog(s). We strongly encourage dog-to-dog introductions as a part of the match-making process and may require it in some cases. We do not require introductions for cats. Upon arriving at the Petmatch Adoption Center, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and/or volunteers and asked to fill out a short Adopter Profile. This is not an application, it is a match-making tool used to help you find the best match for you and the adoptable animals. You will be introduced to the available dogs and/or cats with some tips for narrowing down your search to the most appropriate pets. Visitors can meet one-on-one with pets in our play yards. Dogs will be introduced, too. If your pet meet is a success, you will spend a few minutes completing some paperwork and learning about the many "extras" included with each adoption. Then you and your new family member can go home and begin your "Furever" life. We have a variable adoption fee policy based on an animal's age, breed, temperament, behavioral issues, and physical condition. We also have senior and veteran discounts.
