🎉 Puddles and Cuddles have been ADOPTED! 🎉 . 🎉 Puddles and Cuddles have been ADOPTED! 🎉 . In late January, the Mesa Fire Department rescued two Shar-pei puppies from a car that crashed and caught fire. The Mesa Police Department seized the two pups who were then transferred to an overnight clinic prior to coming to AHS' Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital™. The puppies, both four-month-old females now named Puddles and Cuddles, have been in AHS’ care since. Fortunately, both pups just had a couple of minor scabs on their paws, but were being held under protective custody until their court release to AHS. The case is currently ongoing through the Mesa Police Department. . Swipe to see their adorable adoption photos and the wrinkliest, silliest, cutest video EVER 🐾❤️

Today marks the last day you can help spread that love to twice as many homeless pets in our community.

February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month! Rabbits February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month! Rabbits are inquisitive, intelligent, sociable, affectionate and clean, and they made excellent pets. Here are some of our favorite "bun" facts: . 🐰 Rabbits are crepuscular animals, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. 🐰 Rabbits and parrots are the only two animals who can see behind them without turning their heads. 🐰 The smallest breed of rabbit, the Netherland Dwarf, weighs just 2 pounds at maturity. In stark contrast is the Flemish Giant, who can weigh up to 20 pounds! . All rabbits rock, but everyone has their preference... are you more of a fan of floppy eared or upright ears rabbits? Meet our adoptable rabbits at azhumane.org/critters, and learn more about basic rabbit care at azhumane.org/petbehavior!
