As the shelter that cares for the Valley’s sick, injured and abused pets, the Arizona Humane Society is particularly facing challenges in its trauma and intensive care areas as more pets in need of medical care come through its doors each day.

When someone you love is dying, the last thing you want is to feel lost in paperwork, medical jargon, and sales pitches from people who should be focused on compassion. Hospice isn’t just a medical service—it’s a deeply personal chapter. And in Arizona, where families often live far apart and aging parents are sometimes left to weather their final days without nearby relatives, picking the right provider matters more than most people realize. There’s no rewind button on end-of-life care. Once you start down this road, you want to know you chose a team that respects the person you love as more than just a patient in a bed.

Meet Carina, a four-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart full of love and resilience. Rescued from a cruel situation where she was abandoned with another pup, Carina was saved by a dedicated Arizona Humane Society Cruelty Investigator. Since April, this affectionate and energetic girl has been waiting at the shelter, eager to find her forever home. Carina adores people, and you’ll often find her wiggling with joy and ready for some pets. She loves going on walks and thrives on human companionship. Open your heart and home to Carina, and experience the boundless love she has to offer.
