We are an all foster based rescue that helps control the pet population by spaying and neutering all our animals as well and giving all needed shots and microchips to all of our adoptable animals.

4 Paws is no kill, non-profit, volunteer, tax-exempt organization. Our mission is to rescue cats in the Sun Cities area; to provide temporary care either in foster homes or in a permanent shelter for such animals, while facilitating their adoption in appropriate homes; to cooperate with other organizations dedicated to the rescue and care of homeless animals, and to work for humane solutions to the problem of pet overpopulation

Susan Dawson, Maureen Glunz and myself (Christine Schaeken) started walking boarded rescue dogs 4 years ago when we were training to walk the Breastcancer 3-Day. Friends and family members joined us within a few weeks and soon we had a bigger group of volunteers. Over time we not only walked the rescue dogs but got involved in their adoptions and we formed Rescue Pals. Most of our dogs are strays, mostly found in Fountain Hills. we have occasional owner surrenders. We are New Hope partners with Pinal Animal Care and Control and are working on becoming New Hope partners with Maricopa County Animal Care and control. But since most of our dogs are boarded in a boarding facility space is limited. We have a few foster homes and foster the dogs that need it, that shut down in the boarding facility or who need surgery and recovery or dogs who need rehabilitation. We are all volunteers

We started the rescue to help reduce the number of dogs put to sleep by the county. We use only foster homes, we do not board our dogs. We have been incorporated for a little more than a year. We are a 501c3.

Standing Proud Pit Bull Rescue Center is a non-profit (awaiting 501(c)3 approval) rescue and advocacy group located in the east valley of Arizona. Our goal is to reduce euthanasia rates at our local shelters, help pets stay in their current homes, rehabilitate and rehome stray/surrendered pit bull type dogs, educate the community on responsible pet owenership, as well as educate the public on the misconceptions of pit bull type dogs. We will be securing a facility in the next year, this will be AZ's first pit bull rescue center and will provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for our dogs as well as a place to allow community events regarding responsible pet ownership.

2DARESCUE RESCUE WAS DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO THE GROWING NUMBER OF HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS SUFFERING IN THE COUNTY SHELTERS AND STREETS, MOST OF WHICH ARE EUTHANIZED. WE RESCUE DOGS WEEKLY OFF THE EUTHANASIA LIST AS WELL AS TAKE IN DOGS HOMELESS ON THE STREETS.

Verde Valley Humane Society's Adopt for Life Center for Animals encourages spaying, neutering and licensing pets, community safety, pet education, and life-long adoptions for pets in their forever homes.

Arizona Small Dog Rescue is a non profit registered 501(c)3 no kill rescue shelter. We are a group of volunteers who have dedicated our lives to rescuing and saving homeless, unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and abused small dogs and cats too. We save most of our animals from kill shelters around the valley, but also accept owner surrenders and stray surrenders. Owner surrender fee’s vary depending on space and availability. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, medically examine, microchip, and evaluate and/or socialize all dogs and cats that come into our rescue before placing up for adoption to prescreened homes. We rescue many dogs and cats every week and always have a wide variety of personalities and breeds available who would be a perfect fit for any family and any home.

Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is one of only two senior animal rescues in Maricopa County, Arizona. Formed in 2012 as a non-profit 501[c][3] organization, the focus of FLPS is to promote the rescue, adoption, and well-being of senior animals. FLPS also provides public education regarding the value of adopting a senior pet. In the Fall of 2013, FLPS will be able serve a public need by offering housing to a limited number of senior pets. This safe haven, will take the burden of temporary care and housing of senior animals off of local shelters. Inevitably, local shelters resort to euthanizing these abandoned, senior animals at an alarming rate. According to a 2012 statistics report, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) euthanizes one animal every eight minutes it is open to the public. Euthanasia for senior residents is the primary option for most local shelters because they tend to focus their efforts on a high adoption model that includes younger “more adoptable” animals. FLPS will work with local shelters and rescues to identify the senior animals in need and provide a streamlined process for interested men, women and families who wish to adopt.
