We had the BEST group volunteering day with about We had the BEST group volunteering day with about 100 young entrepreneurs! Thank you so much for joining our pack for the day and giving infinite kisses to puppies like this little bear cub 🐾❤️ . #Repost @katevickerss with @get_repost ・・・ What an amazing morning volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society with our @start_yourlife group. I’m so grateful to be apart of a community that is so much about giving 🖤 plus seeing puppies & knowing they’re being taken care of makes my heart happy
Hey there humans! Sometimes, looking at cute pictu Hey there humans! Sometimes, looking at cute pictures of animals on a device can make you feel distant or separated. So, today we've put together a close up series so you can feel like you're here giving each of these pets a big hug and kiss. Note: All pets presented in this post have found their furever homes. Please check out azhumane.org/adopt to see pets currently available for adoption. #AHSFurtogFavs #adoptdontshop #petphotography #closeup
Walker is a master trickster... in the best way! H Walker is a master trickster... in the best way! He knows the commands sit, come, leave it, and drop it, and he's an expert at fetch. This 4-year-old Labrador Retriever/Pittie mix is waiting to meet you at AHS' PetSmart Scottsdale location today! 🐾❤️
Gypsy is such a goof and we love her! This video s Gypsy is such a goof and we love her! This video snapped by AHS Volunteer Melissa is the perfect snippet of Gypsy’s fun and silly personality. She loves fetching and dancing with her toys, has lots of puppy energy, and would love to learn tricks in an AHS Dog Training class. . This girl loves her people, but is not a fan of other dogs and will need to be the only dog at home. She is looking for a family who will have time to work with her on training and all kiddos must be ages 8 and older. Meet Gypsy at AHS’ Sunnyslope Campus today! 🐾❤️
❌ WARNING: Graphic Content ❌ . Judging by the ❌ WARNING: Graphic Content ❌ . Judging by the injuries Van Gogh came to AHS with, she has had quite a tough time. She was found in a Goodyear auto body shop back in November with severe wounds to her ear, neck, and muzzle, and in terrible pain. We don't know how she become this badly injured, but our teams got right to work on treating her. . During her two months of treatment in AHS' Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital™, Van Gogh was given much more than your standard vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery and routine exams. Sugar bandages were applied to her wounds, her masses were removed, and she had quite a bit of dental work including extractions. She is just one of two thirds of pets here at AHS who are treated in our trauma hospital. . In addition to the extensive medical work she required, Van Gogh spent a lot of time with AHS' Behavior Team, who gave her as much time as she needed to learn to trust. This team treated her with lots of play time in the yard, countless walks, to relaxing naps in offices... complete with loud snoring! . Van Gogh is looking for a home where she is the only dog, and she is not suitable for dog parks or places/situations where other dogs may be present. She tends to get very nervous and overwhelmed when seeing other dogs, and with her wounds suggesting that she was attacked at some point, we can understand why she feels this way. All kiddos in her home must be ages 10 and older, due to her handling sensitivity because of her injuries. Learn more about Van Gogh at azhumane.org/adopt 🐾❤️
Just two days after we shared Midnight and Mittens Just two days after we shared Midnight and Mittens here on Instagram, two very special 6-month-old kittens who had undergone treatment at AHS since August, the pair was adopted together! As you can see, they are hard at work breaking in their new furever home in Goodyear 🐾❤️ Thank you to all who shared their story, their Foster Hero Linda, and the team members and volunteered who care for them over the past five months!

AHS and other partners of Vets for Vets' Pets are offering Arizona's pet-owning veterans resources for veterinary care, completely free of charge. Resources include vaccinations, comprehensive exams, nail trimmings, ear cleanings, and small wound care. AHS is thankful for Lulu's Fund, part of the Timothy T. Day Foundation, for supporting our veterinarians and veterinary technicians during this two-day event! Pet supplies, food, and boarding will also be offered by other partners. Learn more at azhumane.org/events.
Ginger has the same look as we do this Monday morn Ginger has the same look as we do this Monday morning, and we're pretty sure she has the same thought, too: "Where did the weekend go?!" . Ginger is a 7-year-old pretty kitty who, depsite her unamused facial expression, is a sweetheart and will melt into anyone's arms after a few chin scratches. This laid back girl is looking for a calm home, preferably one with a family who will give her chicken treats as requested. Meet Ginger at AHS' Campus for Compassion today!
We don't know much about Sydney's life before she We don't know much about Sydney's life before she was brought to AHS as an underweight stray, but we do know two things for sure: Sydney's future is bright, and pink is TOTALLY her color! 💕 This 6-year-old Poodle pup is currently recovering from bladder stone removal surgery in her Foster Hero home, and she will be back in about a week for her follow up appointment. Wags for our Grooming team for giving Sydney the royal treatment before heading off to her foster home!

We are happy to report that Baby, who was brought We are happy to report that Baby, who was brought to AHS on Tuesday morning after she was found running in traffic, is back with her family! Baby was microchipped before she left so that if she ever becomes lost again, her chances of returning home would be greatly increased. Huge thank you to her finder and rescuer, Jacqueline, who had her own pup neutered and microchipped that very day, and to all who helped Baby find her way back home 🐾❤️ . Microchip your pet: azhumane.org/microchip Lost/found resources: azhumane.org/lost-and-found
Meet Cobalt, the handsome guy with the striking ey Meet Cobalt, the handsome guy with the striking eyes and shiny coat! Unlike the metal of his namesake, Cobalt has very soft fur and a gentle disposition to match. This 6-year-old Weimaraner/Pittie mix arrived at AHS last month with wounds on his ears and leg, possibly caused by an altercation with another dog. He will need to meet all kiddos in the home (ages 8 and older only) and loves his human friends very much, but is not so crazy about other canine companions. Do you know a one-dog-at-a-time family who can give Cobalt a chance? 🐾❤️
Major wags for our friends at @petfinderfoundation Major wags for our friends at @petfinderfoundation who have generously donated enrichment equipment to the homeless pets of AHS! Pets like Cane, Oatmeal and Lizzo are enjoying their schmear disks, new toys, puzzle feeders, bubbles, and more. . Daily enrichment is key in keeping pets physically and mentally stimulated as they await adoption. Mik and his team of Animal Experience staff and volunteers do an incredible job of making sure each pet is happy and healthy, and we couldn’t do this without the support of partners like Petfinder Foundation! . Meet these pups and AHS' adoptable pets at azhumane.org/adopt 🐾❤️

Midnight and Mittens are brothers who have been th Midnight and Mittens are brothers who have been through so much together in their short 6 months of life. Since their arrival in August of 2019, they battled and overcame kitty colds, feline calicivirus, and ringworm treatment in their foster home. These little guys are tough! . Their Foster Hero, Linda, introduced them to many new experiences throughout their recovery. Midnight and Mittens made friends with dogs and other cats, played with lots and lots of toys, and discovered their love for cuddling. Midnight is on the shy side and relies on his brother Mittens for confidence, and the pair would love to find a furever home together! They can be adopted together for $150 at AHS' Campus for Compassion. As the saying goes, "Two kittens are better than one!" 😻
When AHS' Emergency Animal Medical Technician™ M When AHS' Emergency Animal Medical Technician™ Mark got the call of an injured duck in the middle of a pond, his first thought was, “Where do I get a boat?” Fortunately, fellow EAMT™ Cynthia had an inflatable raft and the team got right to work. Watch what happens! 🦆 . Huge thank you to our partners at @libertywildlifeaz for treating this feathered friend and countless others! . This duck is just one of more than 4,000 sick and injured animals who were rescued by AHS’ EAMTs™ last year. AHS’ fleet of 7 ambulances hit the road 365 days a year, covering more than 300,000 miles.
