Arizona Humane Society

MISSION: WE SAVE THE MOST VULNERABLE ANIMALS AND ENRICH THE LIVES OF PETS AND PEOPLE.

AHS SERVES AS A SAFETY NET FOR THE VALLEY'S MOST VULNERABLE PETS, AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL, BEHAVIORAL REHABILITATION, SURRENDER INTERVENTION AND SPAY/NEUTER INITIATIVES SAVED AN ADDITIONAL 130,000 LIVES OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. OUR LIFESAVING PROGRAMS, INCLUDING OUR SECOND CHANCE ANIMAL TRAUMA HOSPITAL, MUTTERNITY SUITES, KITTEN NURSERY, BOTTLE BABY KITTEN ICU AND PARVO PUPPY ICU SAVE THE LIVES OF PETS ROUTINELY EUTHANIZED IN SHELTERS. LAST YEAR, OUR TRAUMA HOSPITAL TREATED 11,612 SICK, INJURED AND ABUSED HOMELESS PETS MORE THAN 76 PERCENT OF ALL THE ANIMALS WHO CAME THROUGH OUR DOORS. WE ALSO CARED FOR 324 CRITICALLY ILL DOGS IN OUR PARVO PUPPY ICU AND 309 MOMS AND BABIES IN OUR MUTTERNITY SUITES. OUR KITTEN NURSERY AND BOTTLE BABY KITTEN ICU CARED FOR 2,049 FRAGILE FELINES.

LAST YEAR, AHS SAVED 11,352 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 BY CONNECTING PET OWNERS WITH AFFORDABLE MEDICAL, BEHAVIOR AND SUPPORT SERVICES. OUR PET RESOURCE CENTER HANDLES NEARLY 265 CALLS A DAY, HELPING TO PROVIDE RESOURCES THAT HELP PETS WITH THEIR FAMILIES. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDED SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY TO 11,598 OWNED AND SHELTER ANIMALS, HELPING TO REDUCE PET OVERPOPULATION IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND VETERINARY SERVICES TO 17,519 OWNED ANIMALS THROUGH OUR PUBLIC 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 352,000 HOURS OF THEIR TIME TO OUR PETS EACH YEAR.

AHS' EMERGENCY ANIMAL MEDICAL TECHNICIANS ARE ON THE ROAD 365 DAYS A YEAR RESCUING MORE THAN 5,800 ABUSED, INJURED AND ABANDONED ANIMALS. WE SEEK JUSTICE FOR ABUSED ANIMALS, AND OUR EAMTS PARTNER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO CONDUCT 6,900 CRUELTY INVESTIGATIONS EACH YEAR. THIS PAST YEAR, OUR EAMTS RESPONDED TO 48 CASES IN WHICH WE SEIZED 10 ANIMALS OR MORE. WE SEIZED 1,350 ANIMALS TOTAL FROM THESE CASES. WE ADVANCE LEGISLATION TO PROTECT PETS INVOLVED IN THE MOST HORRIFIC CASES AND ADVOCATE TO FIGHT CRUELTY AND NEGLECT. AHS ALSO SERVES AS THE DESIGNATED RESPONDER FOR ANIMALS IN DISTRESS DURING NATURAL DISASTERS.

OUR SUPPORT TEAMS, WHICH INCLUDE FACILITIES & MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORT, ANIMAL CARE & EXPERIENCE, CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, WAREHOUSE AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT AND SERVICE OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN HELPING US SAVE THE LIVES OF HOMELESS PETS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
