AZ Small Dog Rescue
Our Mission
Arizona Small Dog Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and caring for them until we find their perfect forever family. We believe that love comes in all sizes, and we are committed to saving lives and creating happy outcomes for every dog that enters our care.
Why We Rescue
Since our founding, we have been a passionate team of volunteers and staff working to address the needs of dogs across the Valley. We take in owner surrenders and save countless dogs from kill shelters and overcrowded organizations, ensuring that every animal receives the respect and care they deserve.
Our Approach to Care
We operate as a shelter-based rescue with an active foster network, providing a safe environment where health and welfare are our top priorities. From medical care and daily feeding to socialization and training support, our team handles every detail necessary to keep our dogs happy while they wait for their new homes. We are proud to be recognized as a Top Rated Nonprofit and consistently strive for excellence in everything we do.
Your Role in Our Journey
Finding a forever home is the ultimate goal for every dog in our care, and we believe in building strong, lasting connections between pets and their new families. By providing a transparent and supportive adoption experience, we help you find the perfect furry companion to join your life. Your decision to adopt is the final, most rewarding step in our rescue mission.

We invite you to visit our shelter in Tempe to meet our current residents or reach out to us to learn about volunteering, fostering, or making a donation.
