A wonderful example of the amazing pets who are looking for their forever homes in Valley shelters, Zac is a loving pup who was surrendered to the Arizona Humane Society after his family moved and could not take him with. At 10 years young, this sweet boy's world has been turned upside down but that does not stop him from wagging his tail at every chance he gets.

Caring for sick, injured and abused pets with nowhere else to go, the Arizona Humane Society sees cases of pets who are in need of dire medical care each and every day. However, an alarming surge of Parvovirus cases has been affecting not just homeless pets but owned pets throughout our community, as well.

Child Crisis Arizona’s 2025 Lunch for Love was a powerful testament to community and compassion. Nearly 500 guests gathered at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, where the organization raised more than $1 million in just one hour to support foster care and adoption services, family education, children’s counseling, and health and wellness programs. The tone for the afternoon was set by Child Crisis Arizona chief executive officer Torrie A. Taj, whose welcome painted a raw and human portrait of the realities many young people face. 

With a face as cute as her adorable ears, Mochi is a five-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier with a heart as big as her personality. This sweet pup arrived at the Arizona Humane Society after her previous owner was unable to continue caring for her due to too any pets in the home.
