As the cutest (and busiest) time of the year is already here, the Arizona Humane Society encourages the community to show the love as it gears up for the arrival of its tiniest patients – orphaned kittens! The state’s leading animal welfare organization is calling on the community to help save thousands of its most fragile...
Roxy Heart Is a Star!
At 12 years young, Roxy Heart never imagined she would find herself in a shelter environment.
