Minnie: Home for the Holidays?

Read about wonderful Minnie below! Spread the word about helping us find a Home for the Holidays for Minnie!

In her four years of life thus far, smooth fox terrier mix Minnie has heard a lot of terms she doesnt understand. For instance, shes not sure about economy and recession." Still, words like these are the reason this fun-loving girl has suddenly found herself without a home. The thing is, we dont think dogs like Minnie should have to know these terms. Minnie is energetic, friendly and incredibly affectionate, and she deserves a loving, stable home that's guaranteed even when things hit a rough patch. Minnies love and loyalty is forever, and were committed to finding a home that offers her the same in return.

Sonya: Home for the Holidays?

Next up in our "Home for the Holidays Series" is Sonya!

Sweet Sonya is an expert in close-calls. The one-year-old Belgian Malinois mix is gorgeous, friendly and playful, but somehow, she still found herself on the wrong side of a euthanasia list at the local shelter. The problem was that Sonya had a very slight condition on her eyelid. Even though the problem was easily correctable with minor surgery, Sonya needed to be rescued from the shelter immediately to ensure that her close call was as near as she would ever be to such a scary and undeserved fate. Luckily, thats just what happened. Now recovering splendidly from her surgery, gentle Sonya is ready to leave her past behind and start life anew! With her fantastic attitude, wiggly affection, and infectious positive energy, Sonya is destined to bring a lot of love to a very lucky family.

To adopt Sonya, please call Toby or Ray at 928.899.7269 or e-mail the application to 4lvdch@bullerinetworks.net.

Peanut & Stewart: Home for the Holidays?

Meet two very adoptable UAF dogs! Both are looking for new forever homes or foster homes by the New Year!

Peanut:
Peanut is ready for class! This star student is oh-so-adorable nine-month-old Labrador mix who has already excelled in most of her puppy basic training. She is crate- and house-trained; she loves children and she even knows a few commands. Peanut can be a little uncertain in new places, but once she knows she's in the company of people who like her, she settles right in. Peanut is looking for an active home where she can continue her doggie education. She's hoping for a human companion who will help her learn her remaining few lessons. Once she does, she'll most certainly be a fantastic member of the family!

Stewart:
Get ready world . . . here he comes! Stewart is an ultra-cuddly and lovable Cattle Dog / Australian Shepherd mix whose infectious attitude and spirit rubs off on everyone he meets. We think Stewart is around eight to twelve months old; he has lots of playfulness about him and has no problem showing off those puppy-dog eyes! Hes only around thirty pounds and is exceptionally affectionate. Stewart is currently on the mend from a bit of an eye infection that almost had him euthanized, but he isnt about to let any little malady like that get in his way. He's happy to be gearing up for a permanent stay with a new forever home. Hes got a lot of life to live and a lot of love to give!

Sweet Dolly would sure like to be in a "Home for the Holidays"! Read all about her below:

Have you ever met someone you found to be so wonderful, so delightfully compact and adorable, that you wanted to put her in your pocket and take her with you all the way home? That's pretty much exactly how we feel about Dolly. Nine-month-old Dolly packs an absurd amount of cute-adorable-charisma into her twenty-five-pound frame. From what we can surmise, she's a Heeler / Whippet mix who will likely get a bit bigger as she grows but will by no means be a large adult dog. She's not only pure pleasure to look at either; she's also incredibly friendly to people and dogs alike. As she comes up on her first birthday, Dolly is eager and ready to build some confidence and find her forever home. And one look from those heartfelt eyes guarantees she will be a devoted and loyal member of one very lucky family.

For more information about Dolly, call (928) 778-2924 or email uafdogs@gmail.com

Adam: Home for the Holidays?

The"Home for the Holidays" Series continues with awesome Adam!

In the dog world, there are rambunctious dogs, sweet dogs, handsome dogs and - well, you get the picture. One type of dog we don't get the chance to meet very often are those dogs in the "Exceptionally Well-Mannered" Category. Sounds impressive, right? Well, that's just what we think about six-year-old Adam. A very smart and loving Basenji mix, Adam embodies good manners. He walks well on a leash, respects the nuances of his feline friends, and knows all his P's and Q's in the house. Of course, sometimes other dogs forget the rules about how to be proper, and Adam feels it's his duty to inform them of their impolite behavior. Some people think this is Adam's way of being snippy, but we know he's just doing what he thinks is best - upholding the respectable doggie code! Nonetheless, Adam's character is so refined and special that we think he deserves to be in a single-dog household, where his stellar attitude can be fully appreciated! For more information about adopting or fostering Adam, call (928) 778 - 2924 or email uafdogs@gmail.com

Pep: Home for the Holidays?

In continuing with our "Home for the Holidays" Series, we invite you to meet Pep!

If all the canine world was a basketball team, Pep would undoubtedly be the starting point guard. Just ask Pep himself, and the confident young Cattle dog / Heeler mix will assure you that he is an absolute all-star. This thirty-five pound boy is smart, attentive, and of course, exceptionally athletic. Stars like Pep don't come around very often, so we are hoping to place this boy in a home where he can enjoy the spotlight all by himself. Like all heelers (and athletes, for that matter), Pep requires a regular and healthy means of expelling his energy and working on his moves. After all, he is in training to become the fastest, brightest, and best dog ever!

For more information about adopting or fostering Pep, please call (928) 778-2924 or email uafdogs@gmail.com.

Maya: Home for the Holidays?

Next up in our Home for the Holidays Series is Maya!

Looking for the perfect side-kick? Meet Maya, a one-year-old Black Lab mix with a peppering of Cattle Dog / Heeler thrown in for good measure (take a look at those feet!). Even though Maya can be a tad on the shy side when you first meet her, you'll soon be reveling in the wonderful companionship this beautiful, athletic girl has to offer. Maya truly epitomizes the 'best friend' characterization. She loves toys, other pups and a good dose of silliness, but her number one priority will always be you! She has a wonderfully loyal nature that will surely make her forever human one very lucky person.

For more information about Maya, call (928) 778 - 2924 or email uafdogs@gmail.com.

Chance: Home for the Holidays?

United Animal Friends is hoping to place a number of wonderful dogs in forever homes or foster homes before the end of 2010. Until then, we'll be spotlighting a number of terrific dogs who deserve all the love that the season brings. For information about fostering or adopting any of the dogs you meet on TableScraps, please email uafdogs@gmail.com or call (928) 778 - 2924. First up: Chance!

Found wandering alone in the Valley, Chance is a four-year-old Border Collie Mix who was brought to a local shelter only to give birth soon thereafter (all but one of her pups have been adopted!). We don't know for certain how long Chance was on her own, but one thing is clear: this gorgeous girl deserves a loving home - one that assures she'll never have to go wandering again. Her time on the road left her a little shy, and she hasn't had the chance to fully grasp that domesticated cats make great roommates, but Chance is a quick learner who absolutely basks in kindness and affection. She's incredibly intelligent and eager to please; plus, her journey into motherhood seems to have given her a soft spot for children. Admittedly, Chance needs a little time and effort to become accustomed to living in a real home, but as her name implies, all she needs is that one opportunity! We think what know what Chance was looking for during all that wandering and we're committed to making sure that the forever home she finds is worth her journey.

Making Things Right for Ranger

Ranger would likely be the first to tell you that life isn’t always fair. After all, the young Lab-Border Collie mix knows this all too well. After spending over forty days in the county shelter, Ranger was rescued by United Animal Friends who had no choice but to immediately place him in another boarding facility. The days passed as a foster home or adoptive family was desperately sought after, but things just haven’t worked out for Ranger the way they should have. And it’s now been over 85 DAYS since the lovable, intelligent and perfectly adoptable Ranger has been kept in a kennel. Even though Ranger admits there have been more lemons than lemonade in his short life so far, he hasn’t given up. Life isn’t fair, but Ranger has faith that very soon, someone will step forward and offer him the foster or forever home he so desperately needs and deserves.

If you can help Ranger, please let us know! Ranger is an active and intelligent young dog who needs to get out of boarding as soon as possible and into a home where he start living like a normal dog. He has great potential and will certainly bond with people – particularly women – very quickly. He is truly one of those dogs who will be a superstar in someone’s family; he just needs a chance to get started! Let’s show Ranger that sometimes life IS fair. Please contact Joellyn at uafdogs@gmail.com today.

At his age, Billie really deserves to get all the attention of someone who realizes just how wonderful and special he truly is! For more information about Billie, read his online profile.
