Pippen

Meet Pippen! This adorable 1-year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua arrived as a stray, and after diligent efforts to reunite him with his family failed, he is now ready to find his forever family!<br/><br/>Pippen may be pint-sized, but this cute little bug is packed with personality! He's an affectionate boy who loves spending time in someone's lap and seems perfectly content being carried around when his own four little legs need a break.<br/><br/>But don't mistake his love of snuggling for a lack of adventure! Pippen zestfully chases soft toys when they're tossed his way and has plenty of silly, mischievous antics to keep his humans entertained. He enjoys exploring the park but likes to check in with his people along the way, just to make sure everyone is still together.<br/><br/>Once the fun is over, Pippen settles easily into snuggle mode and is happy to curl up for some affection--or even a good story.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a tiny companion who offers equal parts silliness, sweetness and snuggles, Pippen can't wait to meet you!<br/><br/>To get started on the adoption process, visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then stop by the Adoption Center to meet with one of our adoption counselors. Or you can just come and see us and fill out a consultation form upon arrival!<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).

Meet Pippen! This adorable 1-year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua arrived as a stray, and after diligent efforts to reunite him with his family failed, he is now ready to find his forever family!

Pippen may be pint-sized, but this cute little bug is packed with personality! He's an affectionate boy who loves spending time in someone's lap and seems perfectly content being carried around when his own four little legs need a break.

But don't mistake his love of snuggling for a lack of adventure! Pippen zestfully chases soft toys when they're tossed his way and has plenty of silly, mischievous antics to keep his humans entertained. He enjoys exploring the park but likes to check in with his people along the way, just to make sure everyone is still together.

Once the fun is over, Pippen settles easily into snuggle mode and is happy to curl up for some affection--or even a good story.

If you're looking for a tiny companion who offers equal parts silliness, sweetness and snuggles, Pippen can't wait to me
