Welcome back to the Foster Friday Show, y'all! This week we're introducing adorable Patch!

Patch is a Terrier mix, approximately 1½ to 2 years old, and weighs about 32 pounds. Having recently joined us, this charming boy is ready to find a loving forever home.

Patch is an intelligent and curious dog who enjoys keeping his mind busy. He's a pro at food puzzles and already knows basic commands like sit. His eagerness to learn and problem-solving skills make him a fun and rewarding companion.

Like many smart dogs, Patch can find creative ways to entertain himself if left without enough activity, and that sometimes leads to a little mischief. He will thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to learn and explore.

If you're looking for a bright, engaging companion who will keep you smiling and motivated, Patch could be the perfect addition to your family.

To get started in the process of meeting Patch, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center, located at 952 W. Melody Ave in Gilbert, to meet with one of our adoption counselors.

The countdown is officially on for the kickoff to the 2026 Summer Bunco Series!

Join us on Friday, June 19th from 6–8 p.m. at the Friends for Life Adoption Center, located at 952 W. Melody Ave. in Gilbert, and don your best flower child attire — there will be a prize for the best dressed!

All experience levels are encouraged to join the fun, and we’ll have a rules refresher at 5:30 p.m. for those new to the game. As you've come to expect, we’ll also have raffle prizes and tasty munchies.

We’re thrilled that this event has become so popular! Because space at the Adoption Center is limited, we highly recommend reserving your seat(s) in advance by visiting https://bunco2026.eventbrite.com. Solo flower children can skip into the event with a $30 donation, or $100 for a foursome (or gaggle!) of flower children.

Walk-ins will be welcomed on a space-available basis.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another groovy summer of Bunco!

The world needs more Rosemarys!

Rosemary is a 1½-year-old, 24-pound Terrier blend who recently joined us and is now searching for her forever home. This fun-loving girl is full of personality, affection, and playful energy — the kind of dog who keeps you smiling all day long.

Rosemary is very friendly and curious with other dogs and loves being part of the action, but her energetic personality can be too much for a lot of dogs. Her personality truly shines at the park, where she can run, explore, and show off her playful side.

Fetch is one of Rosemary’s absolute favorite games, and she’s a total pro! She adores soft toys and gleefully returns the ball every single time — especially impressive considering how fast she is. She also enjoys a good game of tug and happily releases the toy when asked.

When playtime is over, Rosemary is all about affection. She loves pets, will gently put her head down for attention, and hands out loving little kisses to her favorite people.

One of her funniest habits? Rosemary loves to do what can only be described as a “stop, drop, and roll” routine with her soft toys — over and over again — like she’s training for the fire department! 🔥🚒

Simply put, Rosemary is an all-around GREAT doggo with a loving heart, playful spirit, and tons of charm. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who’s always ready for adventure and cuddles, Rosemary may be the perfect fit for your family!

To get started in the process of meeting Rosemary, please visit https://azfriends.org/testing/adopt.html to complete an adoption consultation form, and then come by the Adoption Center, located at 952 W. Melody Ave in Gilbert, to meet with one of our adoption counselors.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!
Campbell is a handsome young red-and-white tabby with a sweet, easygoing personality and a playful streak. At just one year old, and 9 lbs, he's the perfect mix of curious kitten energy and affectionate companion.

When meeting new people, Campbell likes to take a moment to size things up and make introductions on his own terms. Once he's had a chance to sniff and get comfortable, he happily accepts head scratches and gentle affection. In fact, he'll even flop down nearby to let you know he's ready for some pets.

This playful boy loves interactive toys, especially anything string-like that he can chase and pounce on. He also enjoys laser pointer sessions and is always interested in watching the world around him. Birds outside the window, interesting sounds, and even a pair of shoes can capture his attention and spark his curiosity.

Campbell would thrive in a home that appreciates his independent yet affectionate nature. He's happy to spend time with his people, play a game or two, and then investigate whatever exciting thing catches his eye next. If you're looking for a friendly, playful companion with plenty of charm, Campbell may be the perfect match for you!
