Paws 4 Life AZ is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer Animal rescue. We are dedicated to rescuing animals left homeless for whatever reason – dogs in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, animals given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect. We place animals in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing an animal into their homes and lives. Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped and receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes.

Founded in 1902, the mission of the SPCA of Tompkins County is to protect companion animals. We are the first open-admission, no-kill shelter in the country dedicated to preventing animal cruelty and overpopulation. not only do we steward animals, but the environment as well. our “green” shelter, known as the Dorothy and Roy Park Pet Adoption Center, was LEED- Certified Silver in 2004—the first shelter to achieve this status in the united States. our best practices in shelter operations and programs serve as effective examples for other shelters across the country striving to achieve no-kill status. We strive to foster a community in which the need for sheltering abandoned, neglected and homeless and abused animals is diminished; and we work ceaselessly to place medically and behaviorally healthy, treatable or manageable animals in loving homes. We provide leadership in cruelty investigation initiatives, educational outreach, and pet population control. We promote responsible pet stewardship by providing behavioral issues-counseling as needed for adopted animals and their owners, as well as behavior training for shelter dogs to increase adoption rates and ultimately nurture and enhance the human-animal bond.

Their Mission: " We were founded in 2007 to as a sanctuary for unadoptable, ill or infirm rabbits, and when possible to help rehome the rabbit overflow from area animal shelters and place them in good quality, indoor homes. We are also a sanctuary for some cats, dogs, parrots, and guinea pigs who have come from animal shelters. We currently only rehome rabbits and are closed to intakes due to the recession. We currently only take in rabbits needing hospice care and only if space and resources are available, neither of which currently are available. All rabbits are spayed or neutered prior to adoption and adopters are given support and guidance for the lifetime of the rabbit."
