Arizona Humane Society

SINCE 1957, THE ARIZONA HUMANE SOCIETY (AHS) HAS SERVED AS A SAFETY NET FOR THE VALLEY'S MOST VULNERABLE ANIMALS. OUR LIFESAVING PROGRAMS, INCLUDING OUR LAZIN ANIMAL FOUNDATION TRAUMA HOSPITAL, MUTTERNITY SUITES, KITTEN NURSERY, BOTTLE BABY KITTEN ICU AND PARVO PUPPY ICU SAVE THE LIVES OF PETS ROUTINELY EUTHANIZED IN OTHER SHELTERS. LAST YEAR, OUR TRAUMA HOSPITAL TREATED 17,803 SICK, INJURED AND ABUSED HOMELESS PETS, WHICH WAS MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF ALL THE ANIMALS WHO CAME THROUGH OUR DOORS. WE ALSO CARED FOR 389 CRITICALLY ILL DOGS IN OUR PARVO PUPPY ICU AND 996 MOMS AND BABIES IN OUR MUTTERNITY AND MEOWTURNITY SUITES. OUR KITTEN NURSERY AND BOTTLE BABY KITTEN ICU CARED FOR 3,002 NEWBORN KITTENS AND PUPPIES.

LAST YEAR, AHS SAVED 16,539 ANIMALS THROUGH ADOPTION AND OTHER PLACEMENT OUTLETS, AND OUR ETHICAL NO-KILL PHILOSOPHY ENSURES WE NEVER EUTHANIZE A PET FOR SPACE OR LENGTH OF TIME. WE ARE ALSO COMMITTED TO KEEPING PETS IN HOMES AND OUT OF SHELTERS. OUR PET RESOURCE CENTER HANDLES MORE THAN 350 CALLS A DAY, CONNECTING PET OWNERS WITH AFFORDABLE MEDICAL, BEHAVIOR AND SUPPORT SERVICES. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDED SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY TO 22,082 OWNED AND SHELTER ANIMALS, HELPING TO REDUCE PET OVERPOPULATION IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND PROVIDE VETERINARY SERVICES TO 40,075 OWNED ANIMALS THROUGH OUR VETERINARY CLINICS. OUR FOSTER HEROES EXPAND OUR CAPACITY FOR CARE, PROVIDING TEMPORARY HOMES FOR 400-800 PETS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHILE OUR VOLUNTEERS GIVE OVER 78,200 HOURS OF THEIR TIME TO OUR PETS EACH YEAR.
