The Arizona Humane Society is here to save the most vulnerable animals and enrich the lives of pets and people. We serve as a dedicated safety net for the sick, injured, and abused animals in our community.
Since our founding in 1957 by a small group of volunteers, we have grown into the state's largest animal welfare and protection agency. We are an independent, private nonprofit organization, not affiliated with any other national humane groups, and we rely entirely on the generosity of our local community to fuel our lifesaving work.
Innovation, compassion, and excellence are our guiding stars. We utilize a holistic care model that includes extensive environmental enrichment—from puzzle toys to music and bubbles—to keep our animals happy and healthy while they wait for their forever homes. Our teams are certified in Fear Free handling, ensuring that every pet receives high-quality, stress-free care within our state-of-the-art facilities.
Adopting is a joyful partnership, and we are committed to helping you find the perfect match for your family. We are proud to operate under an Ethical No-Kill Philosophy™, meaning no pet in our care is ever euthanized for space or length of time. When you choose to adopt from us, you aren't just gaining a companion; you are participating in a second chance that transforms a life.
Whether you are looking to adopt a new family member, support our mission through a donation, or volunteer your time, there are many ways to get involved. Please visit one of our campuses to meet your perfect match or explore our available pets online to begin your journey today.
