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!
