I just wanted to thank you for helping take in Miss Kitty from Wickenburg. I feel better knowing that she will have loving arms wrapped around her there at your facility. Thank you again, Mary Hall
We adopted Abby about 10 days ago after losing our beloved siamese, Skeeter, to kidney failure. I wanted you to know Abby has blossomed since joining our family. She is eating well, getting along well with our siamese, Cricket, and seems to have gratitude written all over her face! She is a very loving, wonderful little girl. All she needed was for someone to give her a second chance!
Hi Jennifer & Darrell, Thank you so much for the update! We are thrilled to hear that Abby has settled in well and that you are enjoying her! What a wonderful outcome for a really special kitty. She is so fortunate to have found such a loving family!
hi, i am in need of knowing if a long hair calico with kittens was brought to you last night. I was trying to find her a home, and the person who took her gave me this location. I’m just in need of a answer for peace of mind, thank you.

Hi Nallely, we are a cat-only shelter. You can try to contact AAWL; they have a program called “Last Litter” in which they will place the puppies into adoptive homes and also spay your dog for free. http://www.aawl.org or 602-273-6852
My family and I are very interested in adopting Lilly. I would just like to confirm that she is still available for adoption and where she is currently located at so we can meet her. I will be available for most of the day tomorrow and a small portion of the early evening should you need to contact me via phone, my number is (623) 261-1128 alternatively feel free to use the email address listed. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Kenneth, thanks for your interest in Lilly. She is a very sweet- and quite beautiful!-kitty. If you could give the adoption center a call at 623-876-8778 (10 am – 3 pm), they can let you know her current status. She was at 11129 W Michigan Ave in Youngtown and available on Saturday but I am a volunteer and have not been back since then. Thank you for considering a rescued kitty!
I’m moving to Seattle and my friends apartment doesn’t allow pets.My dog is an 8 year old half Pug half Chihuahua that I adopted in May’12.She loves everyone,is spayed,house trained,good with cats.Should be a one dog household.How much does it cost to have you take her in?
Sorry Rocio we are a cat only shelter and do not have any designated shelter space for dogs. Are you able to contact the agency from which you adopted the dog?
Thank you.I will call some and hopefully get Chance into one of them.I appreciate the help.
I lost my female German Shepherd named Leah.
I was told a woman found her and was going to turn her into an animal shelter in Peoria.
Can you please tell me if she’s been turned into your shelter?
Hi Chris,
So sorry to hear that you lost your dog. Unfortunately, our shelter only contains cats. (We have one small dog available for adoption who is living in a foster home, but we have no capacity to house dogs at the shelter.) You could try Sun Valley Animal Shelter: http://sunvalleypets.org/
People who find homeless dogs are supposed to bring them to the Maricopa County AC & C to allow their owners to claim them: http://www.maricopa.gov/pets/ or you could try the Humane Society: http://www.azhumane.org
Hi, I have a 14 year old female cat that needs a new home. I lost my husband and my home and am in a much smaller place now. I also have an 8 yr old male and 3 year old female cats. all have been “fixed”. My problem is that the 3 year old is terrorizing the 14 yr old. It’s so bad that the 14 yr old lives under my bed now and barely gets out to eat or use the litter box. I don’t think the 3 year old is adoptable, she isn’t very friendly. But even if I could find a new home for her, the male 8 yr old is now harrassing the older cat too. So it’s either find a new home for 1 or 2 cats. Is there any way you can help me find a good home for a 14 year old female cat? She is very friendly and is craving attention. It just isn’t fair for her to have such a poor life. And to be prefectly honest the expense is getting to be more than I can handle. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for your time.
Hi Sherry, you are welcome to call the adoption center, 623-876-8778, to discuss the issue with the shelter manager. There is a several month waiting list and an intake fee, and it may be quite difficult to place a 14 year old cat (as well as difficult for an elderly cat to be comfortable in a shelter environment), versus placing your younger cats. You could also try to contact rescue groups listed on http://www.petfinder.com
I have two questions: Where is your thrift shop located? Do you provide a letter of value for tax deduction purposes? I have several expensive collectibles I’d rather donate for a good cause that try and sell.
Hi Bob, Thank you so much for thinking of us and for wanting to assist the homeless pets! Our thrift shop is located at 11129 W. Michigan Ave, Youngtown, AZ 85363. We provide a donation receipt. For specific questions about valuing merchandise, please give the store a call at 623-977-2376.
Hi Diane, our shelter only houses cats and kittens. You could contact the dog rescue groups listed on http://www.petfinder.com (click on “shelters and rescues” and do a search in your area).
Hi Merry, those kittens are so fortunate to have found you. As a result of the enormous pet overpopulation problem in Maricopa County, we have a waiting list of kitties seeking shelter space. If you are able to care for the kittens until they are healthy and older, please call our adoption center to get on our waiting list: 623-876-8778.
Hi Deborah, Please give the adoption center a call at 623-876-8778. They can give you information about our waiting list to see if that is an option for you.
Marilyn, Thanks so much for the update. We are so thrilled to hear that Punky is enjoying his life with you. We love his stories on our facebook page, too!

I just adopted “Melody”. I am in love . Less than 5 hours together she is head bumping me, purring like crazy, and taking a snooze in her new cat condo. Her owner passed away and today was her first day up for adoption. This was a match made in heaven. I recently had to put my cat down after 18 years with me. I loom forward to another long loving relationship with Melody.
I am trying to help my Aunt that has to move out of state find a loving home for her 12 year old husky mix dog. Rosta is a sweet chunky old dog and just needs a good home to live out the rest of his dog life. He would be great with an older couple, he does not jump on people. He loves to talk when he is excited. Please help me find a home for Rosta, I only have 3 weeks to find him a home. Thank you
I would like to donate on an automatic monthly basis of $10.00 p/month. Are you set up to accept that? I donate to another shelter in the same way. Thanks for all you do.
By the way, I donated a small amount at Christmas and recieved a very nice card.
Dear Pet Parents(yes, you are Pet parents), We are moving to your area(hopefully Surprise) I have a few questions, 1. do our dogs need to be “SNAKE TRAINED”2. we will have a doggie door so am I going to have to worry about what can come in the house other than the dogs? is there an automatic doggie door you know about.? 3. Our dog children were adopted by us from the Golden REtriever Rescue, the vet they used has been wonderful, can you reccommend a vet for us in the area? 4. Can you tell me where the closest 24 hr Animal hospital would be? Thank you. We can’t WAIT to move. I wish we could move tomorrow! Sincerely, Wyatt and CHeyenne’s Mom
Hi Denyse, welcome to the area! Problems with snakes may vary according to your neighborhood. You can ask your neighbors for their experience with dealing with snakes, coyotes, and so forth. The Petsmart at Bell and Grand should carry doggie doors activated by a tag that your dogs wears. Veterinarians in your area can be located with a google search; most vets have online reviews by their clients. The closest emergency hospital may be the 99th Ave and Peoria Ave location. You can check for sure on this site: http://www.eac-az.com/

Okay, sounds good. http://www.petfinder.com has a list of rescue groups if you want any alternatives.
