Thank you for applying to the Arizona Humane Society’s Project Home Away from Home. We understand that crisis often leaves individuals having to make a difficult decision between seeking assistance and keeping their pet. While the Arizona Humane Society’s focus is to help Maricopa County homeless pets, we also know that helping those pets that have homes and loving families is essential in the fight to end pet homelessness.
We would like to help every pet and pet owner; however, we also have to ensure that we have the capacity and ability to keep our staff, volunteers and your pets safe and well cared for. This is why we have a diligent screening process. Unfortunately, we cannot accept every pet due to space limitations in the shelter and foster homes, underlying medical concerns for the pet or behavioral concerns.
Once your application is reviewed, if there are any concerns or clarification of information, one of our staff will reach out for additional information. Once all important information is received, if there is space in our program, our Foster Department will contact you to schedule an appointment to evaluate your pet(s)’ behavior with people and animals as well as a medical evaluation. We understand that crisis situations often lead to the need to have a solution quickly and we will attempt to accommodate your need as quickly as possible, however this may not be same day.
If you are in need of more than 2 dogs and/or 3 cats, we will be in touch with instructions for how to provide pet profiles for the additonal pets.
Please communicate any needs you have and we will do our best to accommodate.
