As more and more pets continue to pour into Valley shelters, the Arizona Humane Society is expected to care for more than 28,000 sick, injured and abused pets this year alone. With specialized medical ICUs that care for injured animals with nowhere else to turn, pets like Dandelion and Her Wishes could not be saved without the community’s support.

The sweet two-year-old Australian Kelpie and her five beautiful pups were transferred to the Arizona Humane Society from another shelter in August after they were found as strays. Found to be healthy overall but in need of ongoing care, this adorable family has been in AHS’ Mutternity Suites while awaiting a loving foster home.

The Arizona Humane Society’s Mutternity Suites is a specialized ICU for nursing and pregnant mama dogs where they receive medical care until they are cleared to go with a Foster Hero. Currently, this area is completely full and cannot bring in more families in need until pups like Dandelion and Her Wishes are placed in a temporary home until her pups are old enough to be eating on their own.

Being an Arizona Humane Society Foster Hero is a lifesaving venture with cases that fit every family and lifestyle. By bringing in a foster pet(s), you allow the state’s largest animal welfare organization to continue caring for even more of our community’s sick, injured and abused pets by opening up much-needed kennel space.
