Uko Goes From Shy to Center of the Party After Rescue!
At just 33 pounds, Uko is the perfect size for any lap and he definitely does not turn down a cuddle session!

Dozer Looking for a Calm Place to Doze Off
One look at Dozer and you would never know he is suffering from traumatic injuries as his tail has never stopped wagging! Rescued as an injured stray earlier this month, Dozer is a very handsome pup who is in need of a helping paw. The one-year-old Cane Corso is undergoing care in the Arizona Humane Society’s Lazin Animal Foundation Trauma Hospital after he was found as an injured stray wandering in a West Phoenix neighborhood.

Athena - The Puppy Goddess of Big Smiles & Tailwags
After her owner sadly passed away in June of this year, Athena and another dog had nowhere else to turn. With no one else to care for them, they were rescued by the Arizona Humane Society and now this gorgeous five-year-old American Bulldog is still looking for her forever home.

He spent his remaining golden years of life with his loving family in Phoenix.
Oftentimes, black pets like sweet Betty often spend longer on the adoption floor as they tend to be overlooked by potential...

This is such the case for adorable Charlie, a three-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who was found abandoned at a park tied to a palm tree in the middle of a sweltering June day. Thankfully, she was found before heat exhaustion could overcome her and was found to be a little underweight when evaluated...
