Our Mission
We are a non profit organization that consists of a small group of passionate animal advocates that specialize in the humane capture and rescue of stray, fearful and injured animals from the streets of Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding desert areas. While saving the street dogs has always been our passion, we also rescue dogs from the county shelter who are at risk for euthanasia due to injury, sickness, fear or age.
We differ from other animal rescues because we rescue animals directly from the streets of Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding cities. We found our way to tracking and trapping when we saw the need for it in Maricopa County. Every day in this country thousands of dogs are lost or displaced due to circumstances out of their control. These numbers are staggering in Maricopa County. On a daily basis we receive twenty to fifty pleas from good samaritans that are desperate for assistance in rescuing animals in need. We work tirelessly to keep these animals off the streets and out of animal shelters.
Many of these dogs are fearful and under socialized which significantly increases their chance of dying on the streets or from euthanasia. We provide our animals with a safe place to decompress, learn to trust and receive medical treatment until they are ready to find a forever home.
Our animals receive extensive medical treatment in addition to being altered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to going to their new homes. The animals that we take in typically have unique needs due to their level of fear and medical conditions. Our animals require special adopters who are patient, diligent and very precautionary in order to keep our “trap dogs” safe. The majority of our unclaimed stray dogs are adopted out through Sky Sanctuary or our trusted rescue partners. With a lot of love and a thorough adoption process, we assure that they have the most amazing forever homes. Please see our adopt a pet tab if you are interested in one of our pets.
We have devoted our lives to not only track and trap lost dogs but to give these “forgotten dogs” who are tossed away by society a chance at new life. We concentrate on quality of rescue and placement over quantity. These animals are our passion and we will always do what is best for every animal that crosses our path. #SAVETHESTREETDOGS
