It's "Cat-er-Waul" and it's coming to the Gateway Mall this weekend. From 10AM to 3PM. Kitties from YHS, UAF and Miss Kitty's will be onsite and ready for their forever homes! Even if you're not in the market for a new feline companion, you'll definitely want to stop by!

Adoptable Mutt of the Month!

Meet Bucky! Bucky is a very sweet, adorable and no-nonsense sort of fellow! He's just around two years old, and we think he's a Doxie - Chi mix. He's very vocal, and loves to purr back at you when you cuddle him! We think Bucky would do best as an only dog, or perhaps with another docile female. One thing's for sure; he is very camera-friendly!

Calling All Potters & Artists!

United Animal Friends is preparing for its second annual "WOOF DOWN LUNCH" with your cat or dog to be held in April 10, 2010 on the Courthouse Plaza. The proceeds of this event will fund our spay/neuter programs. You can help us meet our goal of having at least 500 dog and cat bowls available for purchase by the public.
Laguna Clay Co. has generously donated clay for this event - so call to get your supply.
Lessons are available for those who wish to participate but are inexperienced.
Large bowls are especially needed. Artists are asked to sign their bowls with “name 2010”.
Let us know if you’re willing to share your studios with others to make bowls.
UAF is also accepting fine art and craft specialty items for the fundraiser.
For details or questions, contact Jean Lutz at 928-445-3553 or jlutz@cableone.net

Dogtoberfest 2009!

In case you missed it, Dogtoberfest was a huge success this year! The event - held on the Prescott Courthouse square on Sunday, September 27th - drew hundreds of animal-lovers from all across Arizona. United Animal Friends was onsite and enjoyed a very successful day as well. Overall, eleven loving mutts found forever homes, and UAF volunteers were also thrilled to see several former UAF dogs stop by with their people to say hello. There's nothing better than seeing a dog who was once homeless now in the wonderful care of happy humans!

Adoptable Pups of the Month!

Meet adorable furballs Blu, Cuddles and Jake. These ultra-sweet and mellow lab mixes are around two to three months old, and judging by the size of their little baby bodies, they will be relatively big-sized dogs when they're full-grown. And while they're siblings and clearly love each other, they can be adopted separately.

UAF & Foreigner: Sweet Success!

If you weren't a Foreigner fan before, trust us when we tell you that you will be now! In town for a concert at Tim's Toyota Center last night, the band members followed their tradition of contacting a local charity to get involved with show. The charity - which in this case was United Animal Friends - then gathers volunteers to sell CD's before and after the concert. In return for the efforts, the charity receives $5 for every CD sold! What an awesome idea!
Folks who bought the CD's from UAF volunteers stationed outside the show were also entered to win a signed Les Paul guitar - and to meet the band after the show! UAF volunteer Roger even got to go onstage to promote UAF's causes, and draw the winner for the guitar! An incredible night, for sure, and the best part? UAF received a whopping $1,760 in donations from the CD sales! Everyone's a winner! Kudos to all the UAF volunteers who made this stellar event such a success, and kudos to Foreigner - for supporting local nonprofits and charities where they tour . . . that is truly, truly cool!

Adoptable Kitties of the Month!

Meet Becky and Barry, two adorable eight-week old kittens up for adoption! This brother and sister duo are quite the little adventurers and because they're so close, we'd really like to see them get adopted together so that they can enjoy all the benefits that feline-sibling relationships bring! Little Becky is super-spunky and adventurous, while chill-man Barry seems happy to sit back and take everything in. Both are healthy, playful and BEYOND ADORABLE!
