The M.A.I.N. Team is an Arizona based, all volunteer group focused on identifying, transporting, aiding and promoting animals from Arizona shelters who need immediate and sometimes costly medical attention the shelters are unable to provide. We are a group of volunteers that saw a need in our county’s shelter system and worked together to address and correct it. Each day, Maricopa County’s animal shelters take in around 150 stray or unwanted dogs, meaning kennels originally designed for one animal are typically packed with four or more. MCACC is the nation’s second largest shelter, and sadly any available space must be given to healthy adoptable animals. M.A.I.N. is here for the injured and sick that stand no chance at all of being rescued in these shelters. We have developed close working relationships with both the east and west locations and staff regularly call to alert us to any particular animals that needs our help. We are available to these shelters and to these dogs 24/7 – and in 2012, more than 150 were saved from euthanasia as a result.

Mission and History of Organization Pet Allies’ Mission is to stop pet over-population by non-lethal means, we do this by providing low cost spay/neuter services and finding homes for needy pets. We operate a no-kill shelter, save rate 96%, we assist animal control in Show Low and Snowflake. We want to partner with other local groups and shelters to stop any unnecessary euthanasia of animals at shelters.

We are an all volunteer based group of caring individuals rescuing animals from various high kill shelters throughout the state. We have a soft spot for the seniors and special needs animals, as they are the last ones to be adopted and the first ones euthanized.

All About Animals Rescue is incorporated in Arizona and has recieved 501(c)3 designation from the IRS. Our EIN is 27-5410456. We are a no-kill rescue that works with dogs and cats in Maricopa County and beyond. The majority of our animals are from the local euthanasia lists as we recognize that these animals are in the most dire condition. All About Animals is dedicated to saving companion animals whose lives are in jeopardy by providing rescue, foster and adoption. All About Animals believes that it is our moral responsibility to protect and improve the lives of abused, abandoned, and homeless dogs and cats. We aim to bring together individuals who are passionate about creating a better future for our companion animals. We are committed to provide these volunteers with high quality training in order to work together in the most efficient way to ensure the well being of our animals.

The National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue Network (NASRN) is a nationwide, 501(c)(3) recognized non-profit,organization. NASRN is dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced and abandoned Anatolian Shepherd Dogs(ASDs) into safe, caring homes. Anatolian crosses will be included in our efforts as we believe crosses not only have many of the unique needs/characteristics of purebred Anatolians, but are often born due to the lack of responsibility on the part of the owners of purebred Anatolians. Our organization is comprised of ASD owners, both working and pet homes. We have joined together in an effort to help homeless and displaced Anatolians find a new lease on life. NASRN works with owners who are no longer able to, or no longer wish to, keep their Anatolians, in placing them in more suitable homes. We cannot, however, place a dog for an owner who is asking a fee or selling their ASD. We also work directly with shelters in pulling dogs from facilities and placing them either in foster care or directly into new homes. Further, we are committed to helping Anatolians and their crosses, regardless of age or health condition. We will offer and provide assistance to ASD and other Livestock Guardian (LGD) breed owners who are having problems with their dogs, in an effort to keep the dog in its present home. We offer ongoing support to our adopting families to help them with any problems they may experience with their ASD. When able to, we will work with other Livestock Guardian rescue groups to help place other Livestock Guardian breeds into new homes.

We are the Gila County Rabies Control office, we are here to protect the community and animals of gila county from stray/raoming animals and to prevent the disease of rabies.

Almost Home Bulldog Rescue is a non profit, charitable 501(c)3 organization based in the Maricopa County area of central Arizona. We are dedicated to the rescue of unwanted, neglected, and abandoned companion animals. Our focus is English and French bulldogs from local euthanasia lists as we recognize these animals are in the most dire condition with the highest need. We cannot save every dog but we can make a difference... one dog at a time!

We are a group of volunteers who have individually worked with many other rescues prior to starting Underdog Rescue. We are an all breed rescue, and have a soft spot for bully breeds, medical cases and fear cases. We pull primarily from the County Shelter's daily Euthanasia list and place animals in our approved foster homes. We then network these homeless pets in order to rehome them into loving families. We require all adoption applicants to fill our our adoption application, receive a home visit, pay our adoption/rehoming fee and sign our legal adoption contract. All animals are fully vaccinated and altered prior to adoption being finalized. We do a standard 2 week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period, in which the applicant has the opportunity to be sure the animal is a good fit for their home/family.

DHDR was founded on January 6, 2009. Our mission is (1) to rescue placeable purebred Doberman Pinschers in Arizona, evaluate and treat them, and place them in suitable, qualified, and loving forever homes, and (2) to educate the public about our breed and about living with a Doberman. Our first priority is to save fundamentally sound dogs who are at high risk of death or abuse, dogs on shelter “kill” lists, strays, and foundlings in accordance with applicable laws. After exploring all other options to keep them in their present homes, and when our resources permit, our second priority is to save owner-surrendered purebred Dobermans from being sent to a shelter or destroyed.

We are AZ's 1st No-Kill, No-Cage cat shelter. We take in cats and kittens from the public but also make regular rescues from the local kill shelters. Mission To advocate for homeless cats in our community by: • Actively seeking permanent, loving homes for the cats in our care • Providing lifelong care to those cats who for behavioral or medical reasons are unable to be re-homed • Educating the public about responsible companion animal guardianship • Adhering to the principle of “no-kill” in that no cat in our care will ever be euthanized to make room for another. Nor, will any cat in our care ever be destroyed except in cases of terminal and painful illness or when compassion demands it because there is no reasonable alternative. Vision Our vision for the future is that: Every cat is spayed/neutered and is cared for in a loving home by a responsible guardian People treat animals as the sentient beings they are, ensuring that they are neither exploited nor harmed The Hermitage Cat Shelter is a world-class organization, providing sanctuary care for cats needing temporary or permanent shelter, and promoting the innate value of all animals
