Magnum

Magnum is a 2-year-old, 10-pound orange tabby who recently joined us and is looking for his forever home!<br/><br/>This handsome boy is still getting used to life indoors full time, and between that and the unfamiliar shelter environment, Magnum has had a lot of changes to take in. He's a curious guy who wants to explore and connect, but he's still learning that all these new experiences are safe.<br/><br/>Magnum enjoys affection and being petted, especially once he's had a chance to get comfortable with you. When something feels uncertain, he may hiss as his way of saying, "I'm not so sure about this yet." It appears to be his way of coping when he's nervous rather than a sign that he wants to escalate the interaction. In fact, Magnum has shown us just how gentle he can be--even when he plays, he keeps his claws to himself!<br/><br/>What Magnum needs most is a family who understands that transitions may take him a little extra time. Give him a few days to explore at his own pace, learn his new routine, and realize he's safe, and you'll start to see the affectionate companion underneath that initial caution.<br/><br/>Magnum is gentle, curious, affectionate, and simply looking for someone willing to give him the time he needs to feel at home. Once he does, we think he'll make a wonderful companion.<br/><br/>Could Magnum be your new animal family member?<br/><br/>To get started in the process of meeting Magnum, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center to meet with one of our adoption counselors. <br/><br/>No appointments are necessary and you can come and see us any time we are open. Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form then come and see us! We do require any family interested in meeting our dogs or cats to fill out a consultation form - this form helps us determine if the dog/cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo, without knowing the personality of the animal. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see us (or come and see us and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!<br/><br/>Please note that ALL dogs and cats are available to the first home that meets the dog or cat that we feel is a good match. In the event there is more than one home interested in the same animal, a lottery may be held that will include all families that are at our adoption center at the time we open the day the animal becomes available. In order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member. <br/><br/>Our adoption center hours are: Closed Sunday/Monday; Tuesday 10a-2p, Wednesday 3p-7p, Thursday 3p-7p, Friday 10a-2p, Saturday 10a-4p. We are located at 952 W Melody Avenue in Gilbert (zip code 85233).All animals are altered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, licensed (dogs). Cats tested for FELV/FIV. Dogs tested for Heartworm. All animals are available to the first family that is a good match, and if we have more than one animal who is a good match, there will be a lottery for all matches. Note that families must have come in to our adoption center and spoken with an adoption counselor prior to any lottery (when we have lotteries, they usually occur on Saturday mornings).
